research PV-0538 Prostaglandin related distinct regenerative activities in hair follicles following radiation injury
HPV infection is linked to better survival in advanced anal cancer, higher radiation doses improve survival, especially in HPV-negative patients, and prostaglandin E₂ pretreatment can protect mouse hair follicles from radiation damage.
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 Family planning 2011: better use of existing methods, new strategies and more informed choices for female contraception
The conclusion is that there is a high demand for new contraceptives that provide both pregnancy prevention and protection against STIs, along with additional health benefits.
research Metabolic Effect at Six and Twelve Months of Cyproterone Acetate (2 mg) Combined with Ethinyl Estradiol (35 μg) in 31 Patients
The medication combination did not affect glucose tolerance but increased some cholesterol levels due to its estrogen component.
research Pharmacology and Potential Use of Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone Acetate effectively treats androgen-related conditions and is used in prostate cancer therapy and hormone therapy for transgender women.
research Prostaglandin metabolism in human hair follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research [Hair-growth disorders in relation to pregnancy and hormonal contraception].
Pregnancy and hormonal contraceptives can cause temporary hair loss on the scalp and increased hair growth on the face and body.
research Comparison of resumption of ovulation after cessation of oral contraceptives and medroxyprogesterone acetate in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Medroxyprogesterone acetate is as effective as oral contraceptives for resuming ovulation in women with PCOS.
research Prostaglandin D2(PGD2); prostaglandin D2 receptor (CRTH2; GPR44; CD294); prostaglandin D2 synthase (PTGDS)
Blocking a protein called prostaglandin D2 might help treat hair loss.
research [Long-term treatment of virilized women with cyproterone acetate (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate effectively treats virilized women, especially under 35, despite some side effects.
research THE TREATMENT OF HIRSUTISM WITH A COMBINATION OF DESOGESTREL AND ETHINYL OESTRADIOL
A combination of desogestrel and ethinyl oestradiol effectively reduces hair growth in hirsute women.
research Investigation of the mechanisms of progesterone protection following oxygen–glucose deprivation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone protects brain cells by converting to allopregnanolone and involving GABAA receptors.
research Neuroactive steroids induce changes in fetal sheep behavior during normoxic and asphyxic states
Neurosteroids help protect fetal brains from asphyxia damage.
research Gonadotrophin-releasing hormone agonist therapy for hirsutism is as effective as high dose cyproterone acetate but results in a longer remission
Hormone therapy for excessive hair growth is as good with GnRHa as with high-dose CPA, but GnRHa has longer-lasting results.
research Balancing metabolic optimization and reproductive safety in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: a Bayesian-informed framework for GLP-1 receptor agonists
The document discusses the use of GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) in managing Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), focusing on their metabolic benefits rather than confirmed fertility enhancement. The narrative synthesis highlights the need for individualized treatment plans, emphasizing the distinction between metabolic optimization and reproductive outcomes. The study suggests GLP-1RAs should be used as short-term, preconception tools, with careful planning for drug discontinuation to avoid rebound effects. The authors call for future trials to standardize reproductive endpoints and capture periconception exposure to better assess the benefits and risks.
research Noncontraceptive benefits of the estradiol valerate/dienogest combined oral contraceptive: a review of the literature
The estradiol valerate/dienogest oral contraceptive helps with heavy periods, may improve acne and symptoms in PCOS, and doesn't affect sexual function.
research Lifestyle and Adiponectin Level: Four-Year Follow-up of Controlled Trials
Prostaglandins may protect hair follicles during chemotherapy.
research Synthesis of novel andostane-N-cyclohexyl-17-carboxamides, and their effect on the 5α-reductase isoform 2, the androgen receptor, and androgen-dependent glands
New compounds were made and tested, with compound 6 showing potential for treating prostate-related diseases.
research THE PEDIATRICIAN AND THE SEXUALLY ACTIVE ADOLESCENT
Pediatricians should advise sexually active teens on safe sex and STD prevention, and discuss contraceptive options and their side effects.
research Novel treatment of female-pattern androgenetic alopecia with injected bimatoprost 0.03% solution.

research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth, suggesting that blocking its receptor could potentially treat hair loss.
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.
