research Hétérogénéité tumorale du cancer de la prostate et infection par le SARS-CoV2 : une relation complexe impliquant les vésicules extracellulaires et le récepteur des androgènes
Extracellular vesicles and androgen receptors may help identify prostate cancer resistance and reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection.
research Hair Loss and Androgen’s Role in the Era of COVID-19
Androgens may worsen COVID-19 and hair loss could indicate the disease's severity.
research Alopecia androgénica femenina: nuevos factores fisiopatológicos y futuras tendencias para un abordaje clínico más integral
New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Kennedy's disease and partial androgen insensitivity syndrome. Report of 4 cases and literature review
The conclusion is that adult males with muscle weakness and hormonal imbalances should be tested for Kennedy's disease.
research Molecular genetics of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause different levels of androgen insensitivity, making it hard to create simple tests for the condition.
research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Molecular basis of androgenetic alopecia: From androgen to paracrine mediators through dermal papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) in androgenic alopecia An effective phytotherapy
Saw palmetto is an effective natural treatment for hair loss with minimal side effects.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia
The document suggests more research is needed to understand the link between baldness and prostate cancer.
research Melatonin and hair physiology: reasons and clinical efficacy data as a topical treatment of androgenic alopecia
Melatonin applied to the scalp helps increase hair density in people with early hair loss.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research MECHANISM OF ACTION OF AVICENNIA MARINA HEARTWOOD EXTRACT AND AVICEQUINONE C ON HUMAN DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS ISOLATED FROM ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA PATIENTS
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research Mechanistic synergy of hair growth promotion by the Avicennia marina extract and its active constituent (avicequinone C) in dermal papilla cells isolated from androgenic alopecia patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research The Nuclear Vitamin D Receptor: Biological and Molecular Regulatory Properties Revealed
The vitamin D receptor is crucial for bone health and affects various body systems, with mutations potentially leading to disease.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Genetic Variation in the Human Androgen Receptor Gene Is the Major Determinant of Common Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variation in the androgen receptor gene mainly causes early-onset hair loss, with maternal inheritance playing a key role.
research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
