Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) can mimic PCOS and requires genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
research A novel actor in skin biology: the mineralocorticoid receptor
Blocking the mineralocorticoid receptor can help treat skin thinning caused by steroids.
research Steroids and the Skin: A General Review
Steroids can treat skin conditions but must be used carefully to avoid side effects.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some hormone changes similar to humans, but also have key differences.
research SUN-069 A 14 Year Old Female with Primary Amenorrhea
A 14-year-old girl with no menstrual period was diagnosed with Swyer Syndrome and treated for a related cancer risk.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
research Health consequences of anabolic steroids: a sexual-medicine perspective
Anabolic steroid abuse can cause sexual, fertility, and health problems.
research FRI-02 FROM GIRLS TO BOYS TO OLDER MEN, THE INTERESTING TALE OF THE GUEVEDOCES AND 5-ALPHA REDUCTASE INHIBITORS
The discovery of 5α-reductase deficiency in guevedoces led to the development of important urologic medications.
research The Interplay between Finasteride-Induced Androgen Imbalance, Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Oxidative Stress, and Liver Disorders in Paternal and Filial Generation
Finasteride in male rats causes liver and metabolic issues in their offspring.
research Challenges in treatment of patients with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Treating non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is complex because the benefits of hormone treatment must be weighed against potential health risks.
research Hyperandrogenism, Elevated 17-Hydroxyprogesterone and Its Urinary Metabolites in a Young Woman with Ovarian Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified: Case Report and Review of the Literature
A young woman's symptoms suggested PCOS, but tests and surgery confirmed and treated a rare ovarian tumor, resolving her condition.
research Patent Evaluation: Δ-4,6-Steroids as Potent 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroids were patented as effective for treating acne, hair loss, and other conditions related to hormones.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
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 Gender-specific alteration of steroid metabolism and its impact on viral replication in a mouse model of hepatitis B virus infection
Hepatitis B virus alters steroid hormones in male mice, reducing dihydrotestosterone to inhibit viral replication.
research Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Early diagnosis and treatment of congenital adrenal hyperplasia are crucial to manage symptoms and prevent complications.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Testosterone Hormone ; Clinical Indications, Dysregulation and Therapeutic methods
Testosterone is vital for male health, and its deficiency is linked to aging and common health issues.
research 211 TRIGLYCERIDEMIA IN CONDITION OF FOOD STRESS IN WOMEN WITH POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME AND ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA
Women with PCOS and androgenic alopecia have different triglyceride metabolism compared to those without hair loss.
research Adverse health effects of androgen use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research Anabolic androgenic steroids and carcinogenicity focusing on Leydig cell: a literature review
Anabolic androgenic steroids can increase cancer risk and disrupt hormones.
research Aromatase-independent testosterone conversion into estrogenic steroids is inhibited by a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.
research Altered Hormone and Bioactive Lipid Plasma Profile in Rodent Models of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Revealed by Targeted Mass Spectrometry
Rodent models of PCOS show some similar and some different lipid changes compared to humans.
research Endocrine Disorders and Infertility
Hormone imbalances from the pituitary, thyroid, and adrenal glands can cause infertility, but treating these disorders can improve fertility.
