research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
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 Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Retrospective Analysis of 72 Patients from a German Academic Center
Combination therapy with steroids and pimecrolimus improved or stabilized hair loss in most patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, who also had a high rate of hypothyroidism.
research Testosterone levels in relation to oral contraceptive use and the androgen receptor CAG and GGC length polymorphisms in healthy young women
Oral contraceptives lower testosterone levels in women, especially those with certain genetic traits, and may be linked to increased breast cancer risk.
research An update of the pathogenesis of frontal fibrosing alopecia: What does the current evidence tell us?
The current understanding of frontal fibrosing alopecia involves immune, genetic, hormonal factors, and possibly environmental triggers, but more research is needed for effective treatments.
research Evaluation of androgen receptor gene as a candidate gene in female androgenetic alopecia
AR gene not major factor in female hair loss; different from male hair loss.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
All treatments reduce hair growth; low dose flutamide most effective with fewer side effects.
research The Hirsute Woman: Challenges in Evaluation and Management
Most hirsutism cases are due to PCOS, and treatment focuses on lowering testosterone and blocking its effects.
research What is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research EFFECT OF POTASSIUM ON BLOOD-SUGAR AND PLASMA-INSULIN LEVELS IN PATIENTS UNDERGOING PERITONEAL DIALYSIS AND HÆMODIALYSIS
Potassium levels affect blood sugar and insulin during dialysis, and malnutrition changes children's hair roots.
research Phospholipid–polymer hybrid nanoparticle-mediated transfollicular delivery of quercetin: prospective implement for the treatment of androgenic alopecia
Quercetin-loaded nanoparticles can penetrate skin, minimize hair loss, and promote hair regrowth, showing slightly better results than a marketed product.
research Unusual patterns of presentation of frontal fibrosing alopecia: A clinical and trichoscopic analysis of 98 patients
Trichoscopy helps diagnose frontal fibrosing alopecia, even with unusual patterns.
research Genetic basis of polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research No metabolic impact of surgical normalization of hyperandrogenism in postmenopausal women with ovarian androgen-secreting tumours
Surgery to lower high testosterone in postmenopausal women with certain ovarian tumors doesn't significantly affect their metabolism.
research Treatment of hirsutism with cimetidine: a prospective randomized controlled trial
Cimetidine did not reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research New Biomarkers to Evaluate Hyperandrogenemic Women and Hypogonadal Men
The document concludes that hormonal biomarkers are key for diagnosing hyperandrogenemia in women and hypogonadism in men.
research Targets to treat androgen excess in polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research The investigation and management of severe hyperandrogenism pre- and postmenopause: Non-tumor disease is strongly associated with metabolic syndrome and typically responds to insulin-sensitization with metformin
High levels of male hormones in women without tumors are linked to metabolic problems and can be treated with metformin.
research Clinical efficacy of oral administration of finasteride at a dose of 2.5 mg/day in women with female pattern hair loss
Finasteride 2.5 mg/day can effectively treat female hair loss.
research Lack of effect of topical finasteride suggests an endocrine role for dihydrotestosterone
Topical finasteride doesn't reduce DHT levels, hinting at an endocrine role in hair loss.
research Need for liver evaluation in polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS often have liver disease, so liver health checks are important for them.
research Clinical characteristics, trichoscopy, histopathology and treatment outcomes of frontal fibrosing alopecia in an Asian population: A retro‐prospective cohort study
Asian patients with Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia often lose eyebrow hair and respond well to combined antiandrogen or antimalarial and topical treatments.
research Single-center analysis of patients with frontal fibrosing alopecia: evidence for hypothyroidism and a good quality of life
Frontal fibrosing alopecia is linked to hypothyroidism but doesn't affect quality of life.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia after antiandrogen hormonal therapy in a male patient
A male patient developed frontal fibrosing alopecia after antiandrogen therapy for prostate cancer.
research Polymorphism of CAG and GGN repeats of androgen receptor gene in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Longer GGN repeats in the androgen receptor gene are linked to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia in Asians: a retrospective clinical study
The study concluded that combination therapy with topical corticosteroids and hydroxychloroquine or finasteride is effective in treating Frontal fibrosing alopecia in Asians.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women – An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Vulvar problems in elderly women
Older women often have vulva issues due to less estrogen, which can be misdiagnosed and lead to wrong treatments.
