420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Oral isotretinoin for acne
Oral isotretinoin may slightly improve acne but increases the risk of side effects like dry lips and skin; more research is needed to understand its full risks and benefits.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of esters of 16-formyl-17-methoxy-dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 2
Certain derivatives are more effective 5α-reductase type 2 inhibitors than finasteride.
research 193 Unveiling the role of estradiol in the pathogenesis of female pattern hair loss
research Significance of RU58841 as a therapeutic agent effecting androgen receptor molecular interactions in human hair follicles.
RU58841, a substance from France, can potentially block the effects of hormones that cause hair loss and excessive hair growth, performing better than a similar substance, cyproterone acetate.
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 DHEA : why, when, and how much ? D’après la conférence de Bruno Allolio (Wuerzburg), 50e Journées internationales d’endocrinologie clinique Henri-Pierre KLOTZ, septembre 2007
DHEA supplementation may improve quality of life, neuropsychological functions, and sexual satisfaction in individuals with adrenal insufficiency, but more research is needed to confirm its safety and effectiveness.
research Effect of norplant on androgens and sexual function
Norplant implants lower some androgen levels but don't significantly change sexual function.
research [Cutaneous effects in hormonal contraception].
Hormonal birth control can cause skin issues, but low-dose options and those with antiandrogens may reduce these effects.
research Preliminary pharmacokinetics and metabolism of novel non-steroidal antiandrogens in the rat: Relation of their systemic activity to the formation of a common metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research Antiandrogenic therapy with ciproterone acetate in female patients who suffer from both androgenetic alopecia and acne vulgaris
Ciproterone acetate improves hair regrowth and acne in most female patients.
research Virtual Bioequivalence Assessment of Ritlecitinib Capsules with Incorporation of Observed Clinical Variability Using a Physiologically Based Pharmacokinetic Model
50-mg ritlecitinib capsules are bioequivalent to 100-mg capsules.
research Classification scale for male and female androgenetic alopecia.
Scale created to measure hair loss in men and women; MK-386 reduces acne; Niaspan treats dyslipidemia; minoxidil increases heart rate.
research Leuprolide and estrogen versus oral contraceptive pills for the treatment of hirsutism: a prospective randomized study.
Leuprolide plus estrogen is more effective than oral contraceptives for reducing hirsutism.
research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy
3α‐OH‐DHP is essential for reducing nerve activity related to blood pressure control during pregnancy.
research Vitamin E TPGS based transferosomes augmented TAT as a promising delivery system for improved transdermal delivery of raloxifene
The new delivery system improved raloxifene's skin absorption and effectiveness against cancer cells.

research Retinoids in Dermatology
Retinoids are effective for severe acne and psoriasis but can cause serious side effects and birth defects.
research Polymer conjugated retinoids for controlled transdermal delivery
A new method allows for controlled, long-lasting delivery of retinoic acid through the skin with less inflammation.
research Low-Dose Flutamide (125 mg/Day) as Maintenance Therapy in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Low-dose flutamide effectively maintains reduced hirsutism with no side effects.
research Safety and efficacy of transdermal testosterone for treatment of hypoactive sexual desire disorder
