research Roles of steroid receptors in the lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Intracrine androgen biosynthesis, metabolism and action revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research The Important Role of Leptin in Modulating the Risk of Dermatological Diseases
Leptin, a hormone from fat cells, affects immune responses and can influence skin diseases and hair growth.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research 916 Gynecologic and hormonal comorbidities of scarring alopecia: A retrospective review
Women with scarring alopecia are less likely to have used hormone replacement therapy or oral contraceptives compared to those with female pattern hair loss.
research Sexually dimorphic sail feathers in the Mandarin duck as a model for lifelong developmental modulation
Mandarin duck sail feathers change with seasons due to hormones and genetic regulation.
research Growth Hormone and the Human Hair Follicle
Growth hormone levels affect hair growth and loss, with too much causing excess hair and too little leading to hair loss.
research Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia as Model Epithelial Stem Cell Diseases
Lichen Planopilaris and Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia may help us understand hair follicle stem cell disorders and suggest new treatments.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Cell type‐specific actions of thyroid hormones in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis and liver fibrosis
Targeting thyroid hormone receptor α in liver cells may help treat liver fibrosis.
research Cutaneous malignant melanoma incidences analyzed worldwide by skin type over advancing age of males and females: Evidence estrogen and androgenic hair are risk factors
Estrogen and androgenic hair increase melanoma risk, especially in European-ancestry individuals.
research An integrative view of mammalian seasonal neuroendocrinology
The article concludes that better understanding gene regulation related to seasonal changes can offer insights into the mechanisms of seasonal timing in mammals.
research Sex- or Gender-specific Differences in the Clinical Presentation, Outcome, and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2
Men face more severe COVID-19 outcomes, while women are more likely to have long-term symptoms.
research Protective cardiovascular and renal actions of vitamin D and estrogen
Vitamin D and estrogen may help protect heart and kidney health, and maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels could be especially beneficial for African Americans, postmenopausal women, and people with chronic kidney disease.
research Clinical Observation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Treatment with Resveratrol
Resveratrol improved hormone levels, menstrual cycles, hair loss, and ovarian function in PCOS patients.
research Cholesterol homeostasis: Links to hair follicle biology and hair disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Restricted effects of androgens on glucocorticoid signaling in the mouse prefrontal cortex and midbrain
Androgens can affect glucocorticoid signaling in specific mouse brain areas.
research 863 Molecular basis of hair follicle donor dominance in androgenetic alopecia and sexual dimorphism of the skin
Hair loss patterns differ between males and females due to 5 master regulators and JAK-STAT signaling affects hair growth.
research TMPRSS2: A Key Host Factor in SARS-CoV-2 Infection and Potential Therapeutic Target
TMPRSS2 is crucial for COVID-19 infection and is a potential target for treatment.
research Sex Differences in Reaction to Chronic Unpredictable Stress in the House Mouse (<em>Mus m. musculus</em>) of Wild Origin
Male and female mice handle stress differently.
research Is polycystic ovary syndrome a sexual conflict? A review
The conclusion suggests that PCOS may persist due to genetic traits that, while harmful for female fertility, could have provided survival and reproductive benefits to males.
research Deletion of Deoxyribonucleic Acid Binding Domain of the Vitamin D Receptor Abrogates Genomic and Nongenomic Functions of Vitamin D
Removing part of the vitamin D receptor stops vitamin D from working properly.
research Hypertrichosis induced by latanoprost
Latanoprost, a glaucoma medication, caused excessive eyelid hair growth in many patients.
research The Role of Micronutrients and Thyroid Function Tests in Pediatric Hair Loss
Low zinc and folate levels are linked to hair loss in children.
research Anogenital distance as a biomarker for incomplete masculinization : Molecular mechanisms in the perineum
A short male anogenital distance may indicate incomplete masculinization due to disrupted androgen action.
research Cosmetic Approach for Men
