research EMQN best practice guidelines for molecular genetic testing and reporting of 21-hydroxylase deficiency
The guidelines ensure accurate genetic testing and reporting for 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness
Male pattern baldness is mostly inherited, involves many genes, and is linked to other traits like early puberty and strong bones.
research Established risk factors for coronary heart disease are unrelated to androgen-induced baldness in female-to-male transsexuals
Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.
research Recommendations for treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH): An update
The document suggests treating individuals with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia who show symptoms, especially those related to excess male hormones.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Hunting the genes in male‐pattern alopecia: how important are they, how close are we and what will they tell us?
Genes play a significant role in male-pattern baldness, and understanding them could lead to new treatments and insights into related health issues.
research Toward a Diagnostic Score in Cushing's Syndrome
The document suggests creating a validated score to diagnose Cushing's Syndrome and considers plasma steroid profiling as a simpler diagnostic method.
research Hypertension and Reproduction
Reproductive factors can increase hypertension risk and affect cardiovascular health.
research Frequency, severity and related factors of androgenetic alopecia in dermatology outpatient clinic: hospital-based cross-sectional study in Turkey
AGA more common in men, increases with age, linked to family history, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and smoking.
research Hepatotoxicity with low- and ultralow-dose flutamide: a surveillance study on 203 hyperandrogenic young females
Low and ultralow doses of flutamide can cause liver damage in young women with high androgen levels, regardless of dose or birth control use, with higher risk for those with higher BMI and liver enzyme levels before treatment.
research Androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance: are they really related?
There is no significant link between male pattern baldness and insulin resistance.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research How to Diagnose and Treat Medically Women with Excessive Hair
Treating excessive hair in women requires a holistic approach, including medical, aesthetic, and emotional support.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.
research Hormonal regulation in male androgenetic alopecia—Sex hormones and beyond: Evidence from recent genetic studies
Hormones and genes affect hair growth and male baldness.
research Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Treatment for Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Review of the Literature
PRP treatment may promote hair growth and improve hair density in women with AGA, but more research is needed.
research The Cycle Characteristics and Outcomes of Infertile Nonclassic 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Patients Undergoing Ovarian Stimulation for In Vitro Fertilization
Women with nonclassic 21-hydroxylase deficiency can have successful pregnancies through IVF, with certain factors affecting their chances.
research Cardiometabolic Risk Factors in Rosuvastatin-Treated Men with Mixed Dyslipidemia and Early-Onset Androgenic Alopecia
Rosuvastatin improves lipid levels, reduces inflammation, but worsens insulin sensitivity in men with early-onset hair loss.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
research Impact of One-Week Administration of Dihydrotestosterone in Rat Anterior Pituitary Gland
Dihydrotestosterone changes some hormone-related gene expressions in rat pituitary glands but doesn't affect the estrous cycle.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Heredity and hormones cause common hair loss, and topical minoxidil is the first recommended treatment.
research Precision therapeutics in non-scarring alopecia: a systemic genomic and pathway-based framework for targeted interventions
Personalized treatments for hair loss focus on specific genetic and biological pathways.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: update on Etiology, Pathophysiology, Diagnosis and Treatment
Androgenetic alopecia is influenced by various factors and can be treated with medications, procedures, and non-drug methods.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
