research Early onset and novel features in a spinal and bulbar muscular atrophy patient with a 68 CAG repeat
A patient with a larger than usual genetic mutation had a broader range of symptoms for a muscle disease.
research Patterns of ovarian morphology in polycystic ovary syndrome: a study utilising magnetic resonance imaging
The study found that women with PCOS have more and larger ovarian follicles and differences in ovarian structure, but these features alone can't always diagnose PCOS.
research Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism and Prostate Zonal Volumes in Australian and Chinese Men
CAG repeat polymorphism and prostate zone volume are not reliable markers of long-term androgen sensitivity.
research Becker's nevus associated with chromosomal mosaicism and congenital adrenal hyperplasia
High androgen levels and genetic factors likely cause Becker's nevus and related symptoms.
research Premature Adrenarche
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research Contemporary medical therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome
New treatments for PCOS focus on insulin resistance and reducing testosterone levels, along with traditional hormone therapies.
research PCOS in Adolescence and Type 2 Diabetes
Girls with PCOS during adolescence have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, and early treatment can help manage this risk.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research Male hormonal contraception: looking back and moving forward
New male hormonal contraceptives show promise but need more research on long-term effects and funding for larger trials.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Common Reproductive and Metabolic Disorder Necessitating Early Recognition and Treatment
Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS is crucial to reduce emotional distress and health risks.
research Pharmacologic Treatment of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that various drugs can manage symptoms and metabolic issues in women with PCOS.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Skin and Hair Disease
Antiandrogen therapies are beneficial for treating skin and hair conditions related to androgen levels.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Clinicopathologic study of 90 cases of trichofolliculoma
Trichofolliculoma is a unique benign tumor mainly affecting middle-aged adults' faces, often misdiagnosed without histopathology.
research Trace elements content and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research PCOS: update and diagnostic approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Novel Uses for the Anabolic Androgenic Steroids Nandrolone and Oxandrolone in the Management of Male Health
Nandrolone and oxandrolone could help treat male health issues like muscle loss and low testosterone.
research The influence of obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone ratio in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research The influence of long-term treatment with cyproterone acetate or a cyproterone acetate-ethinyl oestradiol combination on androgen levels in blood of hirsute women
Both treatments reduced androgen levels and hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Distribution of Body Hair in Young Australian Women and Associations With Serum Androgen Concentrations
More body hair in young Australian women is linked to higher androstenedione levels.
research Testosterone in Women: Measurement and Therapeutic Use
Testosterone therapy can modestly improve sexual function in menopausal women but should be used cautiously and is not recommended for routine measurement in sexual dysfunction or hirsutism.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
