research Lifestyle changes in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Lifestyle changes can improve body composition, excess male hormone levels, and insulin resistance in women with PCOS.
research Endocrinology of Transgender Medicine
Hormone treatments for transgender individuals generally improve mental health and physical transition, with some health risks that require medical supervision.
research The influence of androgens on insulin resistance
Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research SOX11 and SOX4 drive the reactivation of an embryonic gene program during murine wound repair
SOX11 and SOX4 help skin cells act like embryonic cells to heal wounds in mice.
research Wnt signaling in skin organogenesis
Wnt signaling is crucial for skin and hair development and its disruption can cause skin tumors.
research Approach to the adult female patient with diffuse nonscarring alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Menstrual Irregularity in Women with Acromegaly
Women with acromegaly often have irregular periods due to hormone imbalances and growth hormone effects.
research The use of a transscrotal testosterone delivery system in the treatment of patients with weight loss related to human immunodeficiency virus infection
The transscrotal testosterone patch normalizes hormone levels in men with AIDS and weight loss but does not improve weight, body mass, or quality of life.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research Multi-layered environmental regulation on the homeostasis of stem cells: The saga of hair growth and alopecia
Environmental factors at different levels control hair stem cell activity, which could lead to new hair growth and alopecia treatments.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Module-based complexity formation: periodic patterning in feathers and hairs
The conclusion is that understanding how feathers and hairs pattern can help in developing hair regeneration treatments.
research Endocrine-skin interactions
Hormone imbalances can cause specific skin changes, which may help in early detection of endocrine disorders.
research Dynamic interplay between IL-1 and WNT pathways in regulating dermal adipocyte lineage cells during skin development and wound regeneration
IL-1 promotes fat cell growth in skin, while WNT inhibits it and encourages scar formation.
research The developmental basis of fingerprint pattern formation and variation
Fingerprints form uniquely before birth due to specific genetic pathways and local signals.
research The Role of Adipocytes in Tissue Regeneration and Stem Cell Niches
Fat cells are important for tissue repair and stem cell support in various body parts.
research Role of insulin resistance and diet in acne
Eating high glycemic foods and drinking milk may worsen acne by increasing insulin and IGF-1 levels.
research PLASMA C19 STEROID SULPHATE LEVELS AND INDICES OF ANDROGEN BIOAVAILABILITY IN FEMALE PATTERN ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism*
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research Ectodysplasin research—Where to next?
Future research on ectodysplasin should explore its role in diseases, stem cells, and evolution, and continue developing treatments for genetic disorders like hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.
research Early lead exposure and pubertal development in a Mexico City population
Higher early lead exposure is linked to delayed puberty in girls.
research The rationale for physiological testosterone replacement in women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Changes of androgens levels in menopausal women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Use of Hair Products Containing Hormone or Placenta by US Military Personnel
About 15% of US Army personnel use hair products containing hormone or placenta, with higher usage among non-whites, females, and enlisted personnel.
