Research
60-90 / 1000+ results research Emerging Roles of Steroid-binding Globulins
Steroid-binding globulins have important roles beyond just transporting steroids.
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Omega-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids in Leydig cells facilitate male sex hormone production
Omega-6 fats in certain cells boost male hormone production.
research Steroid inhibitors of androgen-potentiated actions on skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research Sex Hormones: Hormonal Contraception and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal contraceptives and therapies regulate organ functions and treat various conditions.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Male sex hormone and reduced plakoglobin jointly impair atrial conduction and cardiac sodium currents
Male hormones and reduced plakoglobin can impair heart electrical function and increase arrhythmia risk in males.
