research The Pathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecias
The document concludes that more research is needed to better understand and treat primary cicatricial alopecias, and suggests a possible reclassification based on molecular pathways.
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 Anatomy and Function of the Skin
The skin is the largest organ, protecting the body, regulating temperature, and producing hormones.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research The heart of the hair fiber: How the inner structure of the coat reflects adaptive variation across color, sex, age, and body region in dromedary camels (Camelus dromedarius)
Camel hair structure, not color, helps camels stay cool in the desert.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Recommendations for treatment of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH): An update
The document suggests treating individuals with nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia who show symptoms, especially those related to excess male hormones.

research The relationship between Homeostatic Model Assessment Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) values and pilonidal sinus disease in female adolescents: A retrospective study
High insulin levels may increase the risk of pilonidal sinus disease in female teens.
research Circulating androgen regulation by androgen-catabolizing gut bacteria in male mouse gut
Gut bacteria can lower androgen levels in male mice.
research Resistance to the Insulin and Elevated Level of Androgen: A Major Cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance and high male hormone levels are major causes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research [Hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia as a possible cause of androgenetic alopecia in the female].
Hypothyroidism and hyperprolactinemia may cause hair loss in women.
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 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 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 Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
research Hyperandrogenic eumenorrheic NON-PCOS women versus women with PCOS after the GnRH-agonist stimulation test preceded by suppression of adrenal steroidogenesis with dexamethasone
PCOS women have more severe metabolic issues and higher androgen levels than hyperandrogenic women without PCOS.
research Adrenal and Gonadal Activity, Androgen Concentrations, and Adult Height Outcomes in Boys With Silver-Russell Syndrome
Higher androgen levels during puberty are linked to shorter adult height in boys with Silver-Russell syndrome.
research Early breast development in girls after prenatal exposure to non‐persistent pesticides
