research Spironolactone versus placebo or in combination with steroids for hirsutism and/or acne
Spironolactone is better than placebo for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but its effectiveness for acne is unclear due to small study sizes.
research Hypertrichosis as a side effect of inhaled steroids in children
Inhaled steroids in children may cause excessive hair growth and not always go away after stopping the medication.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
research Tumor Promotion in Skin: Are Active Oxygen Species Involved?
Active oxygen species might be involved in skin tumor growth, but their exact role is unclear.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research Intraethnic variation in steroid-5-alpha-reductase polymorphisms in prostate cancer patients: a potential factor implicated in 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
