research Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.
research Cosmetic aspects of pregnancy
Pregnant women often experience skin and hair changes, with over half getting stretch marks and pigment changes, and should be cautious with cosmetic procedures due to potential risks.
research Hypertension and aldosterone levels in women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Women with early hair loss have higher blood pressure and aldosterone; screening and treatment may help.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching (FRAP) Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Elevated aldosterone levels in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Higher aldosterone levels link to hair loss and high blood pressure.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Applications of steroid drugs entrapped in cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins improve how steroid drugs work and are used in marketed medications and environmental applications.
research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Androgen Receptor in Human Health: A Potential Therapeutic Target
The Androgen Receptor could be a target for treating diseases like cancer, but more research is needed to confirm the effectiveness of potential treatments.
research Progestogens in menopausal hormone therapy
Progestogens are essential in menopausal hormone therapy to prevent uterine cancer and must be chosen carefully based on individual needs.
research The Role of Cytochrome P-450 in Dermatology
Cytochrome P-450 enzymes in the skin help break down various substances and could be targeted to treat skin conditions.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
research Complementary Therapies for Idiopathic Hirsutism: Topical Licorice as Promising Option
Adding licorice gel to laser treatment is more effective for reducing facial hair than laser alone.
research Hormones
Hormones are crucial for regulating body functions and imbalances can lead to health issues.
research Topical Spironolactone in the Treatment of Ocular Graft-Versus-Host Disease
Topical spironolactone may help treat ocular graft-versus-host disease with minimal side effects.
research Adrenal Cortex Tumors and Hyperplasias
Most adrenal cortex tumors are benign and non-secreting, but proper diagnosis and treatment are important due to the rare possibility of cancer.
research Plasma β‐Endorphin Concentrations During Natural and Artificially Induced Winter Hair Growth in Mink (Mustela vison)
Melatonin and cortisol affect mink winter hair growth, but β-endorphin levels do not.
research Challenges in the Diagnosis of Simple-Virilizing Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Case Report
Diagnosing simple-virilizing congenital adrenal hyperplasia can be difficult and requires thorough testing and expert advice.
research Hypertension and Cicatricial Hair Loss: Defining High Value Symptom Clusters within Reproductive Aging
Women with cicatricial hair loss may have a higher risk of hypertension.
research Generalised Glucocorticoid Resistance
Generalized glucocorticoid resistance causes hormone imbalances and varied symptoms due to gene mutations.
research The Impact of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitors (5α-RIs) on Male Sexual Function and Psychological Well-Being
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.
research Prostate-specific antigen as a diagnostic marker in female hyperandrogenism
