research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Ganoderma lucidum is an inhibitor of testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat enlarged prostate in rats.
research Evaluation of affective temperament and anxiety–depression levels of patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS tend to have higher anxiety and depression levels compared to healthy women.
research Evaluation of cardiac risk marker levels in obese and non-obese patients with polycystic ovaries
Obese and non-obese women with PCOS have higher heart risk markers, especially if they are obese.
research Detection of cortisol, estradiol, and testosterone in archaeological human hair from the Dakhleh Oasis, Egypt
Ancient hair can preserve hormones, revealing health and fertility insights.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research COMBINATION OF AN ANTIANDROGEN AND A 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR: A FURTHER STEP TOWARDS TOTAL ANDROGEN BLOCKADE?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
research An isotope dilution-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry-based candidate reference measurement procedure for the quantification of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in human serum and plasma
A new method accurately measures DHEAS in blood, improving on current tests.
research 원저 : 안드로겐성 탈모증의 임상적 고찰
Androgenetic alopecia is linked to family history and androgen effects.
research Current recommendations for the diagnostic evaluation and follow-up of patients presenting with symptomatic polycystic ovary syndrome
The diagnosis of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) requires a detailed patient history, ultrasound scanning, hormone level checks, and assessments of ovulation, obesity, and insulin resistance. It's a variable condition that needs individualized management and is a significant risk factor for type 2 diabetes.
research A study of clinical and investigational profile of hirsute women at a tertiary care center in Western India
Idiopathic hirsutism is the most common cause of hirsutism in women, followed by PCOS.
research The Diagnostic Value of Serum Ferritin for Telogen Effluvium: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study
Low iron levels in the blood could be a sign of Telogen Effluvium, a type of hair loss, but it's not always accurate in distinguishing it from other hair loss types.
research Homocysteine in androgenetic alopecia: A case control study and observational experiments on mice
Higher homocysteine levels may inhibit hair growth and are linked to androgenetic alopecia.
research The Diagnostic Value of Free Androgen Index in Obese Adolescent Females with Idiopathic Hirsutism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
FAI is a reliable marker for identifying and monitoring hyperandrogenism in obese adolescent females with PCOS.
research A long-term follow-up study of men born with very low birth weight and their reproductive hormone profile
Men born very underweight had higher estrogen levels but normal reproduction compared to normal birth weight men.
research Acanthosis nigricans in adolescents with polycystic ovary syndrome
Acanthosis nigricans in teenage girls with PCOS is a sign of obesity, not insulin resistance or glucose intolerance.
research Assessment of adipokines, hormonal profile, lipid profile, and insulin resistance in patients with androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is linked to insulin resistance and hormonal imbalances.
research Oral and Topical Administration of a Standardized Saw Palmetto Oil Reduces Hair Fall and Improves the Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia Subjects – A 16-Week Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Study
Saw palmetto extract reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in people with hair thinning.
research Investigation, Treatment, and Monitoring of Late‐Onset Hypogonadism in Males: ISA, ISSAM, and EAU Recommendations
Men with low testosterone should be carefully evaluated and monitored before and during treatment.
research Endocrinology
The document concludes that inflammation markers can be used in diabetes, vitamin D3 affects immune pathways, hyperthyroidism changes hormone levels, androgen levels help diagnose Adrenocortical Carcinoma, erectile dysfunction is linked to diabetes, hypogonadism is common in HIV-infected males, and hormones can be biomarkers for various conditions.
research A Model for Predicting Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Using Serum AMH, Menstrual Cycle Length, Body Mass Index and Serum Androstenedione in Chinese Reproductive Aged Population: A Retrospective Cohort Study
A model using hormone levels, cycle length, and BMI can help identify PCOS in Chinese women but isn't for screening teens.
research Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research In vivo and in vitro exposure to free fatty acids induce increased androgen production in animal models: a potential pathogenic factor of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The prevention of benign prostatic hyperplasia (bph)
A vaccine may prevent benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
research Serum anti-Müllerian hormone as a predictor of polycystic ovarian syndrome among women of reproductive age
High levels of anti-Müllerian hormone can indicate polycystic ovarian syndrome in women who can have babies.
research Is There Any Association Between Clinical and Biochemical Hyperandrogenism in Women With Female Pattern Hair Loss?
