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 Treatment of androgenetic alopecia.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Androstenedione
Androstenedione, a hormone supplement, doesn't improve muscle or performance and can cause harmful side effects.
research [Hyperandrogenism and pilosebaceous follicles].
High levels of androgens can cause skin issues like acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Antiandrogens — Basic Concepts for Treatment
Antiandrogens can treat excess body hair and hair loss by blocking male hormones.
research [G-proteins, receptor signal transduction, and growth hormone secretion].
The document concludes that antiandrogenic drugs like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone are effective but not permanent treatments for skin-related androgenization in women.
research Clinical and Hormonal Evaluation of Androgen Excess
Most cases of high male hormone levels in women are due to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ANTIANDROGENS
Antiandrogens may help treat conditions like excessive hair growth, prostate tumors, male baldness, and acne by blocking male hormone effects.
research Steroid 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency in man: An inherited form of male pseudohermaphroditism
Affected males are born with ambiguous genitalia, raised as females, but develop male traits at puberty due to enzyme deficiency.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Androgenetic alopecia - Current status
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research 409 ANDROGEN RECEPTOR GENE POLYMORPHISM (SNP RS6152) – ITS RELATIONSHIP TO ANDROGEN-SENSITIVE GENES EXPRESSION IN BENIGN PROSTATIC HYPERPLASIA, CARCINOMA OF THE PROSTATE AND ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Gene variation affects prostate issues and hair loss.
research Discovery of Nonsteroidal Androgens
Scientists found new nonsteroidal compounds that can act like natural male hormones and might help treat male fertility and hormone issues.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Urinary 5-ene-steroid excretion in non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (NC-3BHSD)
Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.
research Synthesis of novel andostane-N-cyclohexyl-17-carboxamides, and their effect on the 5α-reductase isoform 2, the androgen receptor, and androgen-dependent glands
New compounds were made and tested, with compound 6 showing potential for treating prostate-related diseases.
research Topical Antiandrogens
Topical antiandrogens might treat skin issues like hair growth, balding, and acne, but finding effective treatments without side effects is challenging.
research Advance in classification of androgenetic alopecia
research 1407 ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA, PROSTATE VOLUME AND URINARY SYMPTOMS. IS THERE A RELATIONSHIP? A CASE-CONTROL STUDY
Hair loss, prostate size, and urinary issues are related due to androgen effects.
research PMON319 A Pure Androgen Secreting Adrenal - Cortical Tumor in a 13 Year Old Female
A 13-year-old girl's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a rare adrenal tumor that produced male hormones.
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 Androgens and hair: a biological paradox
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas but hair loss on the scalp.
research Abdominal obesity and androgenetic alopecia in male patients of the dermatological profile
research Visual Vignette
The woman's symptoms and tests suggest her adrenal glands are producing too many male hormones.
research Pharmacology of Anti-androgens in the Skin
Anti-androgens can help reduce the effects of male hormones on the skin.
research 17-Oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters: synthesis, antiproliferative activity, acute toxicity, and effect on serum androgen level
Some synthesized compounds were more effective than Finasteride in reducing prostate cancer cell growth and androgen levels.
research Rare steroid cell tumor found in region North Brazil: case report
A rare ovarian tumor was diagnosed in a woman from North Brazil, and surgery is the preferred treatment.
