Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.
research ADT-G as a promising biomarker for peripheral hyperandrogenism in adult female acne
ADT-G may be a useful indicator of increased androgen levels in women with acne and can be lowered with certain birth control pills.
research Metabolic effects of 5α-reductase inhibition in humans
Dutasteride may reduce insulin sensitivity and increase body fat.
research Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Greater conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone, reflecting increased peripheral 5α-reductase activity in nude mice treated with high doses of cyclosporine A
High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research The human hair follicle has established a fully functional peripheral equivalent of the hypothamalic‐pituitary‐adrenal‐axis (HPA)
Human hair follicles can produce stress hormones like the body's main stress response system.
research UPDATE ON IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.
research Overview of the Circadian Clock in the Hair Follicle Cycle
