Research
870-900 / 1000+ results research Neuroactive steroids inhibit spinal reflex potentiation by selectively enhancing specific spinal GABAA receptor subtypes
Progesterone reduces spinal reflex activity by increasing certain GABA(A) receptor subtypes.
research Transient mitochondrial DNA double strand breaks in mice cause accelerated aging phenotypes in a ROS-dependent but p53/p21-independent manner
Damaging mitochondrial DNA in mice speeds up aging due to increased reactive oxygen species, not through the p53/p21 pathway.
research Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Allopregnanolone and Induction of Endogenous Opioid Inhibition of Oxytocin Responses to Immune Stress in Pregnant Rats
Allopregnanolone helps control oxytocin levels during pregnancy to prevent preterm labor.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research Ameliorative effects of rutin against metabolic, biochemical and hormonal disturbances in polycystic ovary syndrome in rats
Rutin may help treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in rats.
research GRHL3 binding and enhancers rearrange as epidermal keratinocytes transition between functional states
GRHL3 is important for controlling gene activity in skin cells during different stages of their development.
research Pharmacologic Therapy of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that treating PCOS requires a combination of drugs to manage reproductive and metabolic symptoms, with more research needed on combination therapies.
research Evaluation of the Hairless Rat as a Model for in Vivo Percutaneous Absorption
Hairless rats absorb substances through their skin more easily than hairy rats.
research Effect of finasteride on behavioural arousal and somatosensory evoked potentials in fetal sheep
Finasteride may affect fetal brain development and increase arousal, but more research is needed for safety confirmation.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research Common Skin Disorders in Pediatric Skin of Color
Children with darker skin tones can have specific skin conditions that need tailored treatments.
research Destruction of the arrector pili muscle and fat infiltration in androgenic alopecia
Hair loss in male pattern baldness involves muscle degeneration and increased scalp fat.
research Skin permeation of different steroid hormones from polymeric coated liposomal formulations
Polymers increased skin permeation and stability of steroid hormones in liposomal formulations.
research Binding of Steroid Hormones by the 105,000 x g Supernatant Fraction from Homogenates of Rat Skin and Variations during the Hair Cycle
Steroid hormone binding in rat skin varies with pH, heat, and hair cycle phases.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Presentation of a meningioma in a transwoman after nine years of cyproterone acetate and estradiol intake: case report and literature review
A transwoman developed a brain tumor after nine years of hormone therapy, suggesting a possible link between the treatment and tumor development.
research Higher PDCD4 expression is associated with obesity, insulin resistance, lipid metabolism disorders, and granulosa cell apoptosis in polycystic ovary syndrome
More PDCD4 is linked to obesity, insulin problems, and cell death in ovaries for those with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Retrospective evaluation of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Hair follicle stem cell replication stress drives IFI16/STING-dependent inflammation in hidradenitis suppurativa
Stress in hair follicle stem cells causes inflammation in a chronic skin condition through a specific immune response pathway.
research Rapid nongenomic modulation by neurosteroids of dendritic spines in the hippocampus: Androgen, oestrogen and corticosteroid
Sex and stress steroids quickly change brain cell structures in the hippocampus.
research The quantification of reproductive hormones in the hair of captive adult brown bears and their application as indicators of sex and reproductive state
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Contemporary medical therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome
New treatments for PCOS focus on insulin resistance and reducing testosterone levels, along with traditional hormone therapies.
research Beyond goosebumps: Does the arrector pili muscle have a role in hair loss?
The arrector pili muscle might play a role in hair loss and needs more research to understand its impact.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome: A review for dermatologists
A team approach is crucial for managing PCOS, with dermatologists playing a key role.
research Gsdma3 is required for hair follicle differentiation in mice
The Gsdma3 gene is essential for normal hair development in mice.
research Pharmacologic Modulation of Sebaceous Gland Activity: Mechanisms and Clinical Applications
The document concludes that new treatments are needed to better manage acne and reduce side effects related to current therapies.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Premature aging syndromes: From patients to mechanism
Studying premature aging syndromes helps understand human aging and suggests potential treatments.
