research Stress-related skin disorders
Stress can worsen skin conditions by affecting hormone levels and immune response.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Peripheral Skin Temperature and Circadian Biological Clock in Shift Nurses after a Day off
Shift nurses show altered body temperature and stress hormone levels, suggesting their body clocks adjust to irregular schedules.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Toward a Diagnostic Score in Cushing's Syndrome
The document suggests creating a validated score to diagnose Cushing's Syndrome and considers plasma steroid profiling as a simpler diagnostic method.
research A randomized placebo-controlled study on the effects of pioglitazone on cortisol metabolism in polycystic ovary syndrome
Pioglitazone improved insulin sensitivity and altered cortisol metabolism in PCOS patients.
research Alopecia areata – hyperactivity of the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis is a myth?
The study found no significant difference in stress hormone levels between people with alopecia areata and healthy individuals, suggesting that the disease is not caused by an overactive stress response system.
research A Large Benign Adrenocortical Adenoma Cosecreting Testosterone and Cortisol
A woman's rare benign tumor that released both cortisol and testosterone was successfully removed, improving her health.
research Efficacy and Safety of Topical Corticosteroid Treatment under Occlusion for Severe Alopecia Areata in Children. A single-center retrospective analysis
Topical corticosteroids may be a safe and effective treatment for severe alopecia areata in children.
research Long-term physiological trends and their drivers: linking hair hormone concentrations with telemetry data in GPS-collared Serengeti wildebeest
Wildebeest stress and hormone levels are influenced by food availability, human presence, and reproductive cycles.
research Pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism in a shi tzu dog treated with twice-daily oral trilostane: a case report
A Shi Tzu dog with high cortisol levels improved after increasing the dose of trilostane.
research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles
The method accurately measures steroid hormones in hair to study hormone dynamics related to hair loss.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Hormone therapy for transgender patients
Hormone therapy is essential for transgender individuals but requires careful management due to possible metabolic effects.
research Treatment of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Improves Cardiometabolic Function in Young Obese Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Treating sleep apnea in young obese women with PCOS can improve heart health and insulin sensitivity.
research Female Pseudohermaphroditism Caused by a Novel Homozygous Missense Mutation of the GR Gene
A new gene mutation causes female pseudohermaphroditism due to glucocorticoid resistance.
research Corticosterone inhibits GAS6 to govern hair follicle stem-cell quiescence
Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Dermatophytosis in companion animals: A review
Ringworm in pets is influenced by fungi type, immune status, and stress hormones.
research Mechanisms of Disease: selective inhibition of 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 as a novel treatment for the metabolic syndrome
Blocking the enzyme 11β-HSD1 might help treat obesity and metabolic issues.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Adrenal Disorders and the Paediatric Brain: Pathophysiological Considerations and Clinical Implications
Adrenal disorders can cause lasting brain and behavior issues in children.
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 Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research An Investigation of Hair Cortisol Concentration across Body Sites and within Hair shaft
