research The effects of finasteride (Proscar) on hair growth, hair cycle stage, and serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in adult male and female stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides).
Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.
research Patch Testing in Allergic Contact Dermatitis from Minoxidil
Patch testing helps find allergens in minoxidil treatments, but doesn't ensure alternatives will be tolerated.
research Increased DHEAS and Decreased Total Testosterone Serum Levels in a Subset of Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Exist?
Some men with early hair loss may have a male version of PCOS, affecting hormones and increasing health risks.
research Patch tests with commercial hair dye products in patients with allergic contact dermatitis to para-phenylenediamine
Most hair dyes can cause allergic reactions, so test before use.
research Delayed hypersensitivity reaction to intralesional triamcinolone acetonide following treatment for alopecia areata. Intradermal testing.
Intradermal testing can better detect corticosteroid allergies than patch testing.
research PLASMA TESTOSTERONE GLUCOSIDURONATE: A RELIABLE INDICATOR OF FEMALE HYPERANDROGENISM (IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM AND ANDROGENIC ALOPECIA)
Measuring plasma testosterone glucosiduronate is a reliable way to detect high male hormone levels in women.
research Clinical benefits and adverse effects of genetically-elevated free testosterone levels: a Mendelian randomization analysis
Higher free testosterone levels can increase bone density and decrease body fat but may raise the risk of prostate cancer, hair loss, and benign prostate enlargement.
research Hair Evaluation Method: Pull Test and Wash Test
The pull and wash tests are simple, cost-effective ways to diagnose hair loss severity and type.
research A Dissolution Test for Finasteride in Immediate-Release Capsules
A method was developed to test the breakdown of Finasteride capsules, showing it can tell the difference between different brands and highlighting the need for standard tests and ingredient consistency.
research Patch testing procedures in patients suffering from suspected allergic contact dermatitis to minoxidil
Allergic reactions to minoxidil may be due to the propylene glycol it is mixed with, not the minoxidil itself.
research Intricate diagnosis due to falsely elevated testosterone levels by immunoassay
Confirm testosterone levels with advanced tests to avoid unnecessary procedures.
research Children’s hair cortisol and hair testosterone concentrations in response to environmental changes: from summer holidays to school
Girls had higher stress hormone levels during school due to social and emotional issues, while boys had higher overall hormone levels with slight changes when school started.
research The potential for occupational exposure of veterinarians to ketamine resulting in positive drug tests
Veterinarians could test positive for ketamine from work exposure, not just substance abuse.
research Diagnosis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome using Free Testosterone levels via Surface Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Induced by Gold Nanostar
A new low-cost method can accurately detect PCOS early by measuring free testosterone levels.
research Fail-tests of DNA methylation clocks, and development of a noise barometer for measuring epigenetic pressure of aging and disease
Elastic Net DNA methylation clocks are inaccurate for predicting age and health status; a "noise barometer" may better indicate aging and disease.
research Cognitive testing of a survey instrument for self-assessed menstrual cycle characteristics and androgen excess
The survey helps identify menstrual irregularities and excess male hormones, aiming to detect conditions like Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Ocfentanil testing in hair from a fatality case: Comparative analysis of a lock of hair versus a single hair fiber
