research Maternal nutrition at conception modulates DNA methylation of human metastable epialleles
A mother's diet at conception can cause lasting genetic changes in her child.
research Fibrinogen and LDL apheresis in treatment of sudden hearing loss: a randomised multicentre trial
Fibrinogen/LDL apheresis may improve speech perception in sudden hearing loss, especially for those with high fibrinogen and LDL levels.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation/Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Skin expression of mammalian target of rapamycin and forkhead box transcription factor O1, and serum insulin‐like growth factor‐1 in patients with acne vulgaris and their relationship with diet
Eating a high-glycemic diet may worsen acne by increasing certain protein levels and expressions in the skin.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Emerging nonmetabolic functions of skin fat
Skin fat has important roles in hair growth, skin repair, immune defense, and aging, and could be targeted for skin and hair treatments.
research Effective medical treatment for common baldness in women
Antiandrogen therapy helped increase hair growth in women with hormonal imbalances related to baldness.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research The effect of St. John’s wort on the pharmacokinetics, metabolism and biliary excretion of finasteride and its metabolites in healthy men
St. John's wort increases finasteride metabolism, reducing its effectiveness; use caution when combining them.
research Is Xanthine oxidase activity in polycystic ovary syndrome associated with inflammatory and cardiovascular risk factors?
Women with PCOS have higher xanthine oxidase activity linked to inflammation and heart disease risks.
research Hormonal trends in patients suffering from long COVID symptoms
Long COVID patients may have hormonal imbalances linked to their symptoms.
research Simultaneous effects of tocopheryl polyethylene glycol succinate (TPGS) on local hair growth promotion and systemic absorption of topically applied minoxidil in a mouse model
Adding a small amount of TPGS to minoxidil can help hair growth, but too much TPGS reduces this effect and increases minoxidil in the blood.
research Epimorphin expression during human foetal hair follicle development
Epimorphin, a protein, plays a key role in the development of hair follicles in human fetuses, but it doesn't help in maintaining the stem cell population of the follicular skin layer.
research Applications of Plasma-Activated Liquid in the Medical Field
Plasma-activated liquid can kill harmful cells, speed up wound healing, and potentially treat cancer without damaging healthy cells.
research Effects of photoperiod on nutrient digestibility, hair follicle activity and cashmere quality in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats
Short daily photoperiods improve cashmere production in Inner Mongolia white cashmere goats.
research Granulation Tissue that Developed after a Minor Trauma in a Psoriatic Patient on Long-term Etretinate Therapy
Long-term etretinate use may cause delayed wound healing and extra tissue growth after injury.
research Hair Follicle Disruption Facilitates Pathogenesis to UVB-Induced Cutaneous Inflammation and Basal Cell Carcinoma Development in Ptch+/− Mice
Damaged hair follicles make mice more prone to skin inflammation and skin cancer after UV exposure.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Lipin 1 Gene Polymorphisms in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Certain gene variations might help protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome: Challenges in adolescence
Diagnosing and managing PCOS in teens is hard, but early diagnosis and lifestyle changes are key, and more research is needed for long-term health.
research Salivary testosterone levels in infertile men
Men with low or no sperm count have lower salivary testosterone levels, and saliva testing can measure their testosterone well.
research Alopecia in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome
Hair loss in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome may be due to an autoimmune response.
research Increased plasma renin by vasodilators promotes the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm
Vasodilators may worsen abdominal aortic aneurysm.
research Ovarian and Adrenal Venous Catheterization for Hyperandrogenism
Venous catheterization may help diagnose the cause of female hyperandrogenism when imaging is unclear.
research The Impact of Metformin on Plasma Prolactin Levels in Antipsychotics‐Treated Men With Hyperprolactinemia and Early‐Onset Androgenic Alopecia
