research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Choice of treatment for women with polycystic ovary syndrome
The conclusion is that metformin is a first-line treatment for PCOS, particularly for restoring ovulation and increasing pregnancy rates, with other treatments depending on specific symptoms.
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 CONTRACEPTION AND THE SKIN
Birth control pills can cause skin issues but may help with acne and hirsutism, and choosing the right type can minimize side effects.
research [Antiandrogen therapy of acne, falling hair and hirsutism (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate is an effective treatment for women with acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Treatment of hyperandrogenism in women
Cyproterone acetate is the preferred treatment for women's hyperandrogenism when estrogen/progestogen use is safe.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
research Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research Profile of the progesterone derivative chlormadinone acetate — Pharmocodynamic properties and therapeutic applications
Chlormadinone acetate is a strong, well-tolerated hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy with benefits for menstrual pain and skin conditions.
research Venous and pulmonary thromboembolism and combined hormonal contraceptives. Systematic review and meta-analysis
Some birth control pills have a higher risk of blood clots than others.
research Sex hormones and related compounds, including hormonal contraceptives
Exposure to certain sex hormones can increase health risks, while some hormone therapies may offer benefits for specific conditions.
research Depo-Provera: an injectable contraceptive.
Depo-Provera effectively prevents pregnancy but has many side effects and safety concerns, leading to its ban in the U.S.
research Antiandrogenic progestins for treatment of signs of androgenisation and hormonal contraception
Certain hormone medications can treat symptoms like acne and unwanted hair, regulate periods, and prevent pregnancy in women and teenage girls.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research Molecular interactions of progesterone derivatives with 5α-reductase types 1 and 2 and androgen receptors
Certain progesterone derivatives can inhibit enzymes and reduce androgenic activity, potentially affecting prostate growth.
research 5. Novel anticonvulsant effects of supraphysiological doses of progesterone in hippocampal-kindled mice
High doses of progesterone can reduce seizures in mice.
research Progesterone and its Metabolites: Anticonvulsant and Behavioral Studies
Progesterone and its metabolites can prevent seizures without major side effects.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective
Progesterone protects brain cells, but Provera does not.
research Progesterone in gender-affirming therapy of trans women
Progesterone may help trans women with breast development and health, but more research is needed.
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 Sex Hormones: Hormonal Contraception and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal contraceptives and therapies regulate organ functions and treat various conditions.
research [Differentiated application of oral contraceptives basing on the different side effects of synthetic progestins (author's transl)].
