research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research Treatment of hyperandrogenic alopecia in women
Flutamide may slightly improve hair loss in women, but finasteride does not work.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Androgen Replacement in Women: A Commentary
Testosterone replacement may help some postmenopausal women with symptoms like fatigue and low libido, but more research is needed to fully understand its effects.
research Comparison of Spironolactone, Flutamide, and Finasteride Efficacy in the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Randomized, Double Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial1
Spironolactone most effective for hirsutism, but has side effects.
research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Comparison of high-dose finasteride (5 mg/day) versus low-dose finasteride (2.5 mg/day) in the treatment of hirsutism
Low-dose finasteride effectively treats hirsutism, is safe, and cost-effective.
research Role of androgens in female-pattern androgenetic alopecia, either alone or associated with other symptoms of hyperandrogenism
Androgens significantly affect female hair loss, and hormonal treatments may help.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Minoxidil in the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Minoxidil helps treat pattern hair loss in both men and women.
research Hormonal Basis of Male and Female Androgenic Alopecia: Clinical Relevance
Hair loss in men and women is linked to high stress hormone levels and other hormonal imbalances, suggesting treatments should be customized to each person's hormones.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Liposomes in cancer therapy
Liposomes show promise in cancer treatment by delivering drugs with less toxicity and improved effectiveness.
research What is the Rationale for Androgen Therapy for Women?
Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.
research Leucaena Leucocephala a Nutrition Profile
Leucaena leucocephala is nutritious but needs careful processing to remove toxins.
research Low-dose (2.5 mg/day) finasteride treatment in hirsutism
Low-dose finasteride effectively reduces hirsutism without serious side-effects.
research Vitamin D activates type A natriuretic peptide receptor gene transcription in inner medullary collecting duct cells
Vitamin D boosts a specific gene activity in kidney cells that could improve heart and kidney function.
research Caffeic acid skin absorption: Delivery of microparticles to hair follicles
Microparticles help caffeic acid stay longer in hair follicles for better treatment of folliculitis.
research Topical and oral minoxidil for hair disorders in pediatric patients: What do we know so far?
Minoxidil, applied on the skin or taken orally, can improve hair growth in kids, but more research is needed due to possible side effects.
research Low-dose daily aspirin reduces topical minoxidil efficacy in androgenetic alopecia patients
Daily low-dose aspirin lowers minoxidil's effectiveness for hair loss treatment.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Oral minoxidil bio‐activation by hair follicle outer root sheath cell sulfotransferase enzymes predicts clinical efficacy in female pattern hair loss
