research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Current evaluation of amenorrhea
Amenorrhea is relatively rare and initial testing should check FSH, TSH, and prolactin levels.
research What every physician should know about polycystic ovary syndrome
Doctors should know how to diagnose and treat PCOS, which often involves checking for high male hormone levels and using medications to manage symptoms.
research Bone mineral density in hyperandrogenic amenorrhoea
Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
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 Pattern of dyslipidemia among adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome in Port Harcourt, Nigeria
Most adult women with PCOS in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, have high levels of bad fats in their blood, especially younger women.
research Síndrome de ovario poliquístico: la distancia anogenital como marcador del entorno androgénico prenatal y revisión y comparación de los criterios diagnósticos
Longer anogenital distance may indicate a higher chance of having polycystic ovary syndrome, and measuring this distance along with hormone levels could improve diagnosis.
research Depletion of cortical allopregnanolone potentiates stress-induced increase in cortical dopamine output
Lower allopregnanolone levels increase stress-related dopamine release in the brain.
research Investigation of the relationship between serum hormones and pilonidal sinus disease: a cross‐sectional study
Higher prolactin levels in women may be linked to pilonidal sinus disease.
research Baicalin inhibits recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 promoter and reverses hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research Dysregulation of Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Signalling Pathway by Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone in Female Sprague Dawley Rats During Development of Endometrial Receptivity
High testosterone levels can harm fertility by disrupting the LIF signaling pathway in the uterus.
research Deciphering the Role of Androgen in the Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients: A State-of-the-Art Review
High androgen levels cause skin issues in PCOS, affecting quality of life.
research Inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis increases asphyxia-induced brain injury in the late gestation fetal sheep
Reducing neurosteroid levels worsens brain injury in fetal sheep.
research The role of pregnane neurosteroids in ethanol withdrawal: behavioral genetic approaches
Adjusting neurosteroid levels may help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
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 Exploring rat corpus cavernosum alterations induced by finasteride treatment and withdrawal
Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.
research Effect of Neurosteroids on Basal and Stress-Induced Oxytocin Secretion in Luteal-Phase and Pregnant Sheep
Neurosteroids help regulate oxytocin levels, especially during stress and pregnancy, to protect against premature labor.
research Marked Suppression of Dihydrotestosterone in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Dutasteride, a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
research SERUM STEROIDS AND PITUITARY HORMONES IN FEMALE PUBERTY: A PARTLY LONGITUDINAL STUDY
During puberty, hormone levels rise, with early increases in some steroids and most menstrual cycles becoming regular by six years after menarche.
research Hormone replacement therapy in morphine-induced hypogonadic male chronic pain patients
Testosterone therapy can improve hormone levels and quality of life in men with morphine-induced hormone issues.
research Isolation rearing-induced reduction of brain 5α-reductase expression: Relevance to dopaminergic impairments
Isolation stress in rats reduces brain enzyme levels, affecting dopamine function.
