research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research 17-Oximino-5-androsten-3β-yl esters: synthesis, antiproliferative activity, acute toxicity, and effect on serum androgen level
Some synthesized compounds were more effective than Finasteride in reducing prostate cancer cell growth and androgen levels.
research Obesity and female androgenic alopecia: A cause and an effect?
Obesity may contribute to female hair loss by increasing male hormone levels that affect hair follicles.
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 Testosterone concentrations and oligomenorrhea in women with acne
Women with acne and irregular periods had higher active testosterone levels, which could suggest the usefulness of antiandrogen treatment.
research Treatment guidelines in adult women
Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.
research Exogenous Testosterone or Testosterone with Finasteride Increases Bone Mineral Density in Older Men with Low Serum Testosterone
Testosterone therapy increases bone density in older men with low testosterone levels.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
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 Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research The use of cyproterone acetate/ethinyl estradiol in hyperandrogenic skin symptoms – a review
Cyproterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol is effective for treating skin symptoms related to high androgen levels, like in PCOS.
research The effects of finasteride (Proscar) on hair growth, hair cycle stage, and serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in adult male and female stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides).
Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Hirsutism and the Variable Response of the Pilosebaceous Unit to Androgen
Different women's hair and skin glands respond to hormones in varied ways, which can cause unwanted hair growth even with normal hormone levels, and more research is needed to treat this effectively.
research Cutaneous manifestations of polycystic ovary syndrome
Skin problems in PCOS, like excess hair, acne, and hair loss, may not always indicate high male hormone levels and need careful diagnosis for proper treatment.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research AKT2 Gene Polymorphisms, sRANKL/OPG and Hormone Measurements in Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) Women
Certain gene variations in AKT2 are more common in women with PCOS and are linked to higher levels of specific hormones and symptoms.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and the differential diagnosis of hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Androgens stimulate specific aspects of maternal nest-building and reduce food intake in rabbits
Androgens boost certain nest-building behaviors and greatly reduce food intake in rabbits.
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 Sex hormone supplementation improves breathing and restores respiratory neuroplasticity following C2 hemisection in rats
Sex hormone supplements help improve breathing and nerve recovery after spinal injury in rats.
