research Hormonal profile in Indian men with premature androgenetic alopecia
Premature balding in some men may be linked to altered hormones, but it's not the male equivalent to polycystic ovary syndrome or metabolic syndrome.
research Effects of pre- and post-pubertal dihydrotestosterone treatment on penile length in 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency
Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.
research Addisonian crisis in a young man with atypical anorexia nervosa
A young man with an eating disorder had a life-threatening adrenal crisis due to an autoimmune condition, highlighting the need for better education on managing hormone treatments.
research Current and Future Medical Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for hair loss vary, but cell-based options may be the future.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Trace elements content and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research Comparison of Finasteride, Metformin, and Finasteride Plus Metformin in PCOS
Finasteride and metformin both help treat PCOS, but using them together works best.
research Hyperadrenocorticism in Ferrets
Hyperadrenocorticism in ferrets is linked to neutering and indoor housing, and is best treated with surgery and a deslorelin implant.
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 Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis in transgender women: a subgroup analysis of the iPrEx trial
PrEP for HIV is less effective in transgender women mainly due to low adherence to the treatment.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research ORIGINAL RESEARCH—ENDOCRINOLOGY: Comparison of the Steady‐State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic disorder causing hormone imbalances, affecting fertility and requiring personalized treatment.
research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals
Estrogen and androgen signals control synaptic changes in rat brains.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Is there a role for 5α‐reductase inhibitors in transgender individuals?
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may not be effective or safe for transgender individuals, and more research is needed.
research Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy
Testosterone changes important cell communication proteins in pregnant rats' uteruses, which might affect pregnancy success.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in androgenetic alopecia: is there a difference between frontal and vertex baldness?
Vertex baldness has higher DHT levels than frontal baldness, but testosterone and PSA levels are similar.
research Beneficial effects of finasteride on hepatic and pulmonary immune response after trauma hemorrhage in mice
Finasteride improves immune response and reduces organ damage after trauma hemorrhage in mice.
research Treatment of hirsutism by finasteride and flutamide in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.
research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3 levels, suggesting these factors might influence male pattern baldness.
research Oestrogen receptor evaluation in Pomeranian dogs with hair cycle arrest (alopecia X) on melatonin supplementation
Melatonin helped some Pomeranian dogs regrow hair, but it wasn't linked to estrogen receptors.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
