Camel hair structure, not color, helps camels stay cool in the desert.
research Prevalence of androgenic alopecia in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome and characterization of associated clinical and biochemical features
Women with PCOS often have hair loss, which is linked to acne or excess body hair but not to worse hormone or metabolic issues.
research Assessment of diagnostic competence of plasmatic androgens on polycystic ovary syndrome based on receiver operator characteristic curves
Free Testosterone Index, bioavailable testosterone, and androstenedione are the most accurate for diagnosing excess male hormones in PCOS.
research Botanical Treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Some plant-based treatments may help with ovary function, insulin resistance, and excess male hormones in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Therapeutic strategies for treating hair loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
research Adrenal and Gonadal Activity, Androgen Concentrations, and Adult Height Outcomes in Boys With Silver-Russell Syndrome

research Cutaneous Manifestations and Hormonal Changes Among Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients at a Tertiary Care Center
Most women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have skin issues like excessive hair, acne, or hair loss. Hormone imbalances are common, and age, certain hormones, and hormone ratios can predict acne. Obesity, infertility, and high cholesterol are also common in these women.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
research Endocrine intervention for transsexuals
Hormone treatment for transsexual individuals is effective but carries risks like thromboembolic events and mood changes, with most side effects being minor and reversible.
research Impaired Prolactin-Lowering Effects of Metformin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.
research Assessment of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Patients with Premenopausal Female Pattern Hair Loss
Female pattern hair loss does not significantly affect sexual dysfunction.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Within-person changes of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone in hair across pregnancy, with comparison to a non-pregnant reference group
Hormone levels in hair change during pregnancy, with progesterone increasing significantly compared to non-pregnant women.
research Plasma Diaphanous Related Formin 1 Levels Are Associated with Altered Glucose Metabolism and Insulin Resistance in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Case Control Study
Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) have lower levels of a substance called DIAPH1 in their blood, which is linked to changes in sugar metabolism and insulin resistance.
research Impact of subclinical hypothyroidism on endocrine features in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
