Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Endocrine evaluation of hirsutism
Women with excessive male-pattern hair growth should get a full hormone check-up to find and treat any underlying issues, considering both medical and emotional aspects.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is often caused by high male hormone levels and can be treated with lifestyle changes and medications.
research Implications of neuroimaging for the treatment of epilepsy
Neuroimaging suggests that treatments targeting brain steroids could help control epilepsy, especially types linked to the menstrual cycle.

New drugs are improving treatment for hormone-related diseases in small pets.
research The pathophysiology of polycystic ovary syndrome: trying to understand PCOS and its endocrinology
The conclusion is that PCOS is caused by ovarian sensitivity to hormones and disrupted hormone control, possibly due to ovarian factors, and more research is needed.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society criteria for the polycystic ovary syndrome: the complete task force report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research A Prospective Study of the Prevalence of Nonclassical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia among Women Presenting with Hyperandrogenic Symptoms and Signs
About 2.2% of women with symptoms of high male hormones have a mild form of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, and measuring a specific hormone level can accurately diagnose it.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern hair loss is genetic and influenced by hormones, with treatments like minoxidil and surgery available.
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 Graphene oxide and indole-3-acetic acid cotreatment regulates the root growth of Brassica napus L. via multiple phytohormone pathways
Graphene oxide and indole-3-acetic acid together inhibit root growth in Brassica napus L. by affecting multiple plant hormone pathways.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Insights learned from L457(3.43)R, an activating mutant of the human lutropin receptor
The L457(3.43)R mutation in the human lutropin receptor causes increased activity and hormone insensitivity, leading to precocious puberty.
