research Influence of Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana extracts on the urinary concentrations of endogenous anabolic steroids: Relevance to doping analysis
Taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana can change the levels of certain steroids in urine, which could cause confusion in doping tests.
research Dietary Patterns and Metabolic and Hormonal Parameters in Women with Suspected PCOS
Long-term healthy eating lowers testosterone and improves health in women with suspected PCOS.
research Metformin effects on Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
Metformin may help regulate periods and cause modest weight loss in PCOS patients, but more research is needed.
research The effect of sleep extension on metabolic and androgen parameters of healthy women with habitual short sleep duration: Pilot study
Increasing sleep by 41 minutes daily for a month showed no significant changes in metabolism or hormone levels in healthy women.
research Marked Suppression of Dihydrotestosterone in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Dutasteride, a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
research Genetically Altered Expression of Spermidine/Spermine N1-Acetyltransferase Affects Fat Metabolism in Mice via Acetyl-CoA
Altering SSAT affects fat metabolism and body fat in mice.
research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Gene Array Profiling and Immunomodulation Studies Define a Cell-Mediated Immune Response Underlying the Pathogenesis of Alopecia Areata in a Mouse Model and Humans
Alopecia areata is caused by an immune response, and targeting immune cells might help treat it.
research Gene expression profiling of intestinal regeneration in the sea cucumber
Sea cucumbers have unique genes that help them regenerate their intestines.
research Molecular epidemiology of hypospadias: Review of genetic and environmental risk factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Hair analysis in health assessment
Hair mineral analysis might help diagnose diseases early, but standard methods are needed.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Increased lactate dehydrogenase activity is dispensable in squamous carcinoma cells of origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.
research Exploring the “brain-skin connection”: Leads and lessons from the hair follicle
Hair follicles on the scalp interact with and respond to the nervous system, influencing their own behavior and growth.
research Rare and common genetic determinants of metabolic individuality and their effects on human health
Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.
research An Integrated Analysis of Cashmere Fineness lncRNAs in Cashmere Goats
lncRNA XLOC_008679 and gene KRT35 affect cashmere fineness in goats.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research A randomized placebo-controlled study on the effects of pioglitazone on cortisol metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research The reduction of selenium(IV) by boreal Pseudomonas sp. strain T5-6-I – Effects on selenium(IV) uptake in Brassica oleracea
Pseudomonas sp. T5-6-I bacteria increase selenium uptake in Brassica oleracea plants by 130%.
research 5α-Reductase isozymes and aromatase mRNA levels in plucked hair from young women with female pattern hair loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research The influence of obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
