research Food Deprivation-induced Expression of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in the Hypothalamus Uncovered by Microarray Analysis
Food deprivation increases MST enzyme in the brain, possibly affecting energy balance.
research Finasteride/testosterone
research SUN-195 Falsely Elevated Testosterone Levels: Role of LC-MS/MS in Reducing Unnecessary Testing
Using LC-MS/MS for hormone measurement can prevent false high testosterone results and avoid unnecessary tests.
research Cutaneous hydroxystereoid dehydrogenases and rat-hair-cycle
Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.
research Mechanisms of testosterone action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
research Emerging drugs for hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are easier to use and target specific tissues to reduce side effects.
research Transforming growth factor-alpha immunoreactivity during induced hair follicle growth cycles in sheep and ferrets.
TGF-alpha is present in sheep and ferret skin and may affect hair growth without directly stimulating cell proliferation.
research Expression of matrix metalloproteinases and tissue inhibitor of matrix metalloproteinases in the hair cycle
MMP-2 and MMP-9 help hair grow, while their inhibitors peak when hair growth slows.
research EFFECTS OF α-MELANOCYTE-STIMULATING HORMONE AND [8-ARGININE]-VASOTOCIN UPON MELANOGENESIS IN HAIR FOLLICLE MELANOCYTES IN VITRO
α-MSH increases melanin production in moulting hair follicles, while AVT inhibits it.
research A Human Folliculoid Microsphere Assay for Exploring Epithelial– Mesenchymal Interactions in the Human Hair Follicle
HFMs can help study hair growth and test potential hair growth drugs.
research Isochromosome Mosaic Turner Syndrome: A Case Report
A 20-year-old woman with a rare form of Turner syndrome showed improvement with hormonal therapy and needs comprehensive care.
research Chirurgie des schwannomes vestibulaires solitaires
Cyproterone acetate is a safe treatment that causes modest feminization in transgender female adolescents, and works better with added estrogens.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research The injectable contraceptives depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone enanthate substantially and differentially decrease testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin levels: A secondary study from the WHICH randomized clinical trial
Both injectable contraceptives lower testosterone and SHBG levels, with NET-EN having a greater effect than DMPA-IM.
research Endocrine Treatment of Gender-Dysphoric/Gender-Incongruent Persons: An Endocrine Society* Clinical Practice Guideline
A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for safe and effective hormone treatment in gender-dysphoric individuals, with specific guidelines for adolescents and adults.
research The Modified Ferriman-Gallwey Score and Hirsutism among Filipino Women
An mFG score of 7 or higher indicates hirsutism in Filipino women, often linked to higher free testosterone levels.
research P131 Menstrual irregularity in hirsute women
Hirsute women with ovarian-sourced hirsutism are more likely to have irregular periods, with higher BMI and altered hormone ratios.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Epigenetic Effects of Gender-Affirming Hormone Treatment: A Pilot Study of the ESR2 Promoter’s Methylation in AFAB People
Testosterone treatment may change estrogen receptor methylation in AFAB individuals.
research Exogenous Testosterone (T) Alone or with Finasteride Increases Physical Performance, Grip Strength, and Lean Body Mass in Older Men with Low Serum T
Testosterone therapy improves physical function, strength, and body composition in older men with low testosterone levels.
research Topically applied thyroid hormones stimulate hair growth in organ-cultured human scalp skin
Applying thyroid hormones to the scalp can help hair grow.
research Dihydrotestosterone induces arterial stiffening in female mice
Dihydrotestosterone makes arteries stiffer in female mice by reducing estrogen receptor expression.
research Testosterone replacement in the setting of Finasteride therapy: a therapeutic dilemma
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Thymic peptides differentially modulate human hair follicle growth.
Thymic peptides can either promote or inhibit human hair growth.
research Decision letter: Human biallelic MFN2 mutations induce mitochondrial dysfunction, upper body adipose hyperplasia, and suppression of leptin expression
MFN2 mutations cause mitochondrial problems, unusual fat distribution, and low leptin despite high body fat.
research Characterizing the role of facial hair in gender identity and expression among transgender men
Facial hair is crucial for transgender men's gender identity and transition.
