research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research A review of the treatment of male pattern hair loss
Finasteride and minoxidil work best together for hair loss.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Association of biochemical hyperandrogenism with type 2 diabetes and obesity in Chinese women with polycystic ovary syndrome
High androgen levels in Chinese women with PCOS are linked to a higher risk of diabetes and obesity.
research Melatonin promotes secondary hair follicle development of early postnatal cashmere goat and improves cashmere quantity and quality by enhancing antioxidant capacity and suppressing apoptosis
Melatonin improves cashmere goat hair growth and quality by increasing antioxidants and reducing cell death.
research Hypertension and aldosterone levels in women with early-onset androgenetic alopecia
Women with early hair loss have higher blood pressure and aldosterone; screening and treatment may help.
research Ghrelin levels are suppressed and show a blunted response to oral glucose in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
Women with PCOS have lower ghrelin levels and a weaker response to sugar, which might affect their feeling of fullness and lead to overeating.
research Recent Progress in Prostaglandin F2αEthanolamide (Prostamide F2α) Research and Therapeutics
New research on prostamide F2α has led to treatments for glaucoma and eyelash growth and may have more medical uses.
research Cushing Syndrome from Percutaneous Absorption of 1% Hydrocortisone Ointment in Netherton Syndrome
Low-potency steroids can cause serious side effects in people with skin conditions like Netherton syndrome.
research Chemoprevention of smoke-induced alopecia in mice by oral administration of l-cystine and vitamin B6
Taking L-cystine and vitamin B6 can prevent hair loss caused by smoke in mice.
research Effect of topical application of raspberry ketone on dermal production of insulin-like growth factor-I in mice and on hair growth and skin elasticity in humans
Raspberry ketone may help grow hair and improve skin elasticity.
research Minoxidil exerts different inhibitory effects on gene expression of lysyl hydroxylase 1, 2, and 3: Implications for collagen cross-linking and treatment of fibrosis
Minoxidil affects collagen-related genes, potentially helping treat fibrosis.
research An investigation of vitamin D status in alopecia areata
People with alopecia areata often have lower vitamin D levels and more inflammation, suggesting vitamin D might be involved in the condition.
research The Fusion of Craniofacial Reconstruction and Microsurgery
Combining microsurgery with craniofacial reconstruction improves aesthetic results and reduces harm to the area where tissue is taken from.
research Bimatoprost versus Mometasone Furoate in the Treatment of Scalp Alopecia Areata: A Pilot Study
Bimatoprost was found to be safer and more effective than mometasone furoate for treating scalp hair loss.
research Guidelines of care for superficial mycotic infectionsof the skin: Tinea capitis and tinea barbae
Treat scalp and beard fungal infections early with oral antifungal medication and sometimes topical therapy, avoiding unnecessary allergy tests and surgery.
research Anthralin/dithranol in dermatology
Anthralin is effective for psoriasis and alopecia with minimal systemic side effects but can irritate the skin.
research Controversies Regarding Transdermal Androgen Therapy in Postmenopausal Women
Testosterone therapy may slightly improve sexual function in postmenopausal women, but its long-term safety is unknown.
research A hypothetical pathogenesis model for androgenic alopecia: clarifying the dihydrotestosterone paradox and rate-limiting recovery factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome: A review for dermatologists
A team approach is crucial for managing PCOS, with dermatologists playing a key role.
research Endocrine correlates of male breast cancer risk: a case-control study in Athens, Greece
Reduced sexual drive may be linked to male breast cancer, while anti-estrogenic factors might lower the risk.
research Elevated aldosterone levels in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Higher aldosterone levels link to hair loss and high blood pressure.
research Role of Arachidonic Acid in Promoting Hair Growth
Arachidonic acid helps hair grow by increasing growth factors and improving follicle health.
research Sex hormone-binding globulin and saliva testosterone levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Men with hair loss have lower SHBG and higher saliva testosterone levels, suggesting increased androgen activity.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Interaction between stem cell factor and endothelin-1: effects on melanogenesis in human skin xenografts
SCF and ET-1 together significantly increase skin pigmentation and melanin production.
research Breakdown of Immune Tolerance in AIRE-Deficient Rats Induces a Severe Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy–Candidiasis–Ectodermal Dystrophy–like Autoimmune Disease
AIRE-deficient rats developed severe autoimmune disease similar to APECED, useful for testing treatments.
research Insulin resistance and its relationship with high molecular weight adiponectin in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome and a maternal history of polycystic ovary syndrome
Teens with PCOS and a mom with PCOS have higher insulin resistance and lower adiponectin levels, which could signal early metabolic problems.
research Clinical, hormonal and metabolic parameters in women with PCOS with different combined oral contraceptives (containing chlormadinone acetate versus drospirenone)
Both types of oral contraceptives improved symptoms and hormone levels in women with PCOS.
