research Insulin resistance and obesity among infertile women with different polycystic ovary syndrome phenotypes
Women with PCOS are more likely to have insulin resistance and obesity, especially those with the most severe type I PCOS.
research Iron Plays a Certain Role in Patterned Hair Loss
Iron deficiency may contribute to hair loss.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research The periosteal requirement and temporal dynamics of BMP2‐induced middle phalanx regeneration in the adult mouse
BMP2 needs periosteal tissue to help regenerate mouse middle finger bones within a specific time.
research A randomized, investigator-blinded, controlled, split-scalp study of the efficacy and safety of a 1550-nm fractional erbium-glass laser, used in combination with topical 5% minoxidil versus 5% minoxidil alone, for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Laser and minoxidil combo promotes better hair growth than minoxidil alone, safely.
research Intragenic deletion in the Desmoglein 4 gene underlies the skin phenotype in the Iffa Credo “hairless” rat
A gene deletion causes the "hairless" trait in Iffa Credo rats.
research A role for the Tgf-β/Bmp co-receptor Endoglin in the molecular oscillator that regulates the hair follicle cycle
Endoglin is crucial for proper hair growth cycles and stem cell activation in mice.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research The Genetics of Human Skin Disease
Genetic research has advanced our understanding of skin diseases, but complex conditions require an integrative approach for deeper insight.
research Consensus on the use of oral isotretinoin in dermatology - Brazilian Society of Dermatology
The Brazilian Society of Dermatology agrees that oral isotretinoin is effective for acne and other skin conditions, and it's safe when monitored, but more research is needed on dosing and duration.
research Hypothyroidism in Thyroid Carcinoma Follow-up: Orlistat May Inhibit the Absorption of Thyroxine
Orlistat might block the body's ability to absorb thyroid medication.
research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome associated with androgen insensitivity syndrome (testicular feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Histopathology of Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
The research found that a specific gene mutation causes fewer hair follicles and disrupted hair growth cycles, leading to thin and short hair in people with Hypotrichosis with Juvenile Macular Dystrophy.
research Successful Treatment of Hirsutism in HAIR-AN Syndrome Using Flutamide, Spironolactone, and Birth Control Therapy
The document describes a treatment for excessive hair growth in a teenage girl using medication and birth control, but does not report the results.
research Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution
Fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution is a unique hair loss condition that may respond to antiandrogen therapy.
research Case Report: Diffuse Hypertrichosis in the Course of Hepatitis C Treatment by IFN-α and Ribavirin
A man developed excessive hair growth after treatment with interferon-alpha and ribavirin for hepatitis C.
research DERMATOLOGIC SIDE EFFECTS OF PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGIC AGENTS
Some psychiatric drugs can cause skin problems, but serious reactions are rare.
research Post-finasteride syndrome
Finasteride may cause lasting sexual, mental, and physical symptoms; use with caution.
research Simultaneous Determination of Quercitrin, Afzelin, Amentoflavone, Hinokiflavone in Rat Plasma by UFLC–MS-MS and Its Application to the Pharmacokinetics of Platycladus orientalis Leaves Extract
Researchers developed a method to measure plant compounds in rat blood and found they are quickly absorbed and eliminated within 36 hours.
research Allergic contact dermatitis from Minoxidil
Minoxidil can cause allergic skin reactions in some users.
research Dermatoscopic findings of syphilitic alopecia
Dermoscopy helps diagnose syphilitic alopecia, and treatment with penicillin can regrow hair.
research Molecular Genetics of Alopecias
Scientists have found specific genes linked to different hair loss conditions, which could lead to new treatments.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research Evaluation of insulin resistance in idiopathic hirsutism compared with polycystic ovary syndrome patients and healthy individuals
Insulin resistance is not more common in idiopathic hirsutism patients than in healthy individuals.
research Quintaquinone, a Merosesquiterpene from the Yellow Sponge Verongula cf. rigida Esper
A new compound from a sponge strongly inhibits an enzyme linked to male-pattern hair loss without being toxic at low levels.
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 Theoretical evaluation of interaction of some dibenzo derivatives on both androgen receptor and 5α-reductase enzyme
Certain Dibenzo derivatives may help treat prostate cancer.
research Salivary testosterone levels in infertile men
Men with low or no sperm count have lower salivary testosterone levels, and saliva testing can measure their testosterone well.
research Hairy Pinnae after Orchiectomy and Chemotherapy for Testicular Cancer: Acquired Localized Hypertrichosis of the Ears
A patient grew extra hair on their ears after treatment for testicular cancer, possibly due to hormonal changes or genetics.
