Obesity and bariatric surgery can cause hair thinning and temporary hair loss due to nutritional deficiencies and stress.
research COVID-19-induced hair shedding and related risk factors: A Saudi perspective
Many people in Saudi Arabia experienced hair loss after COVID-19, especially women, those treated with antivirals, and those with a history of hair shedding.
research Confocal microscopy and optical coherence tomography of inflammatory skin diseases in hairs and pilosebaceous units: A systematic review
RCM and OCT are effective for diagnosing and monitoring hair-related skin diseases but lack standardized protocols and need more research.
research The immune response to COVID ‐19: Does sex matter?
Men and women get COVID-19 at similar rates, but men tend to get sicker and have a higher risk of dying, while women usually have stronger immune responses and vaccine reactions.
research Transitional Changes in Fatigue-Related Symptoms Due to Long COVID: A Single-Center Retrospective Observational Study in Japan
Patients with long COVID after Omicron had fewer hospitalizations and milder symptoms but more fatigue, insomnia, and cough compared to those with Delta.
research Recommendations for treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH): An update
The document suggests treating individuals with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia who show symptoms, especially those related to excess male hormones.
research Allopregnanolone promotes proliferation and differential gene expression in human glioblastoma cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research The effect of finasteride and dutasteride on the synthesis of neurosteroids by glioblastoma cells
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Inhibition of rat α-reductases by finasteride: Evidence for isozyme differences in the mechanism of inhibition
Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Metabolic study of androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione in horses using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research The therapeutic use of androgens in women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
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 Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Neonatal allopregnanolone or finasteride administration modifies hippocampal K+ Cl− co-transporter expression during early development in male rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
research Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Clinical applications of cortisol measurements in hair.
Hair cortisol measurement is a promising, non-invasive tool for monitoring cortisol exposure over time.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS), an inflammatory, systemic, lifestyle endocrinopathy
PCOS is a complex condition in women that can lead to health issues, and lifestyle changes are the best management approach.
research The impact of VDR expression and regulation in vivo
VDR regulation varies by tissue and is crucial for its biological functions.
research The 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3-independent actions of the vitamin D receptor in skin
The vitamin D receptor helps regulate skin and hair health independently of its usual vitamin D ligand.
