Research
780-810 / 1000+ results research [Female contraception: hormonal methods].
Hormonal contraceptives are highly effective but require medical evaluation due to potential health risks.
research Abstract 5561: 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone downregulates full-length and ligand-independent splice variants of androgen receptor
20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone may help prevent and treat prostate cancer by reducing androgen receptor activity.
research Androgens in women
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research [Cutaneous effects in hormonal contraception].
Hormonal birth control can cause skin issues, but low-dose options and those with antiandrogens may reduce these effects.
research Do androgens really play a major role in the pathophysiology of androgenetic alopecia?
Androgens might not be the only major factor in hair loss; other elements could also be important.
research Hippocampal 3α,5α-THP may alter depressive behavior of pregnant and lactating rats
Higher 3α,5α-THP levels in the brain may reduce depression in pregnant rats.
research Topical Finasteride Therapy in Hirsutism
Topical finasteride may help treat facial hirsutism in women.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a quick and accurate method to measure hormones in urine, confirming a baldness treatment's effectiveness without altering hormone levels.
research Bicalutamide does not raise transaminases in comparison to alternative anti-androgen regimens among transfeminine adolescents and young adults: a retrospective cohort study
Bicalutamide does not significantly affect liver enzymes and is a safe anti-androgen option for transfeminine individuals.
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 A clinico-pathological study of Neogynon as a new oral contraceptive steroid.
Neogynon effectively prevents pregnancy but may cause side effects like headaches and menstrual changes.
research Treat androgenetic alopecia with antiandrogens, as well as other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions
Use antiandrogens and other treatments for hair loss.
research Human scalp hair: Modulation by various factors and hormones do estrogens inhibit or stimulate—A perplexing perspective
The effects of estrogen on human scalp hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research Treatment of alopecia X with medroxyprogesterone acetate
Medroxyprogesterone injections caused hair regrowth in some dogs with alopecia X.
research Comparison of a gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist and a low dose oral contraceptive given alone or together in the treatment of hirsutism.
Combining a GnRH agonist with a low-dose oral contraceptive is more effective and safer for treating hirsutism than using either alone.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Neurosteroid Synthesis-Mediated Regulation of GABAAReceptors: Relevance to the Ovarian Cycle and Stress
Ovarian and stress hormones can change GABA A receptors through neurosteroids.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research New Methods of Endocrine Management of Prostatic Cancer
New hormonal therapies can help treat advanced prostate cancer but may cause testicular issues.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Medical treatment of male pattern alopecia (androgenic alopecia)
Topical minoxidil is the most promising treatment for male pattern hair loss, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research ANTI‐ANDROGENS IN HIRSUTISM
Cyproterone acetate effectively treats hirsutism and related conditions.
research SAT-224 Polycystic Ovary Syndrome with Adrenal Hyperandrogenemia and Refractory Hirsutism
Glucocorticoid treatment lowered androgen levels but didn't improve hirsutism or ovulation and caused weight gain.
research Involvement of neurosteroids in the control of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity in pregnant sheep under basal and stressful conditions
Neurosteroids play a key role in controlling the brain-adrenal gland activity in pregnant sheep, both in normal and stressful situations.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research ADT-G as a promising biomarker for peripheral hyperandrogenism in adult female acne
ADT-G may be a useful indicator of increased androgen levels in women with acne and can be lowered with certain birth control pills.
