research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Baldness and testicular cancer: the EPSAM case-control study
Bald men may have a lower risk of testicular cancer.
research Efficacy of Intralesional and Oral Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Oral dutasteride works better for hair loss, but has more sexual side effects; intralesional dutasteride is a possible alternative.
research The effect of finasteride on spermatogenesis of Mesocricetus auratus
Finasteride causes sperm production decrease in Mesocricetus auratus.
research Safety and efficacy of advanced and targeted acid α-glucosidase (AT-GAA) (ATB200/AT2221) in ERT-switch nonambulatory patients with Pompe disease: preliminary results from the ATB200-02 trial
The combination of tadalafil and finasteride improves urinary symptoms and erectile function in men with enlarged prostates.
research Mining and analysis of adverse event signals of isotretinoin based on the real-world data of FAERS database
Isotretinoin has many serious side effects, including some new ones, needing better safety measures and updated labels.
research Real-world safety of ixekizumab: a disproportionality analysis using the FDA adverse event reporting system and the VigiAccess databases
Ixekizumab has known and some unexpected side effects.
research Risk assessment of the top 60 drugs for drug-related sexual dysfunction: a disproportion analysis from the Food and Drug Administration adverse event reporting system
Finasteride, dutasteride, and silodosin have the highest risk for causing sexual dysfunction.
research Gender-linked differences in human skin
Male and female skin differ in many ways, which could lead to gender-specific skin treatments.
research HMGB1 promotes hair growth via the modulation of prostaglandin metabolism
A protein called HMGB1 helps hair grow by affecting prostaglandin metabolism.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Cicatricial Alopecia
Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment are crucial for Cicatricial Alopecia, and treatment effectiveness varies among patients.
research INTRODUCING ELECTROMAGNETIC ENERGY FROM HYDROCOLLOID WOUND DRESSING PASTE PENETRATING A GLASS BARRIER DISRUPTING HUMAN SKIN LIPID DROPLETS SIZE AND MEMBRANES: POSSIBLE IMPLICATIONS IN CANCER CELLS GENESIS AND/OR CURE
Electromagnetic energy from wound dressing paste can disrupt skin lipid droplets, possibly affecting cancer development.
research 5α-Reductase underscores the development of pectoral fin breeding tubercles in zebrafish
The development of breeding tubercles in male zebrafish relies on a specific enzyme that processes hormones.
research Cicatricial alopecia: What’s new in etiology?
Cicatricial alopecia, a permanent hair loss condition, is mainly caused by damage to specific hair follicle stem cells and abnormal immune responses, with gene regulator PPAR-y and lipid metabolism disorders playing significant roles.
research Testosterone and female sexuality: A skeptical view
Testosterone's role in women's sex drive is unclear and needs more research, as low levels don't always mean less sexual interest and high levels can cause side effects.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Comparative Proteomics Indicates That Biosynthesis of Pectic Precursors Is Important for Cotton Fiber and Arabidopsis Root Hair Elongation
Pectin biosynthesis is essential for the growth of cotton fibers and Arabidopsis root hairs.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Clinical and metabolic implications of obesity in prostate cancer: is testosterone a missing link?
Higher BMI and lower testosterone are linked to more aggressive prostate cancer.
research Testosterone therapy for women with low sexual desire: a position statement from the Brazilian Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism
Testosterone therapy may slightly increase sexual desire in women with HSDD but lacks broad recommendation due to safety concerns and limited approval.
