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 Acanthosis nigricans, insulin resistance and cutaneous virilism
Patients with acanthosis nigricans often have insulin resistance and signs of increased male hormones, but treatment targeting these male hormones is generally ineffective.
research Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Rat Testicular Descent
Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Anti-androgenic effect of sesquiterpenes isolated from the rhizomes of Curcuma aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
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 Low sex-hormone binding globulin levels in young women with diffuse hair loss
Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.
research Detection of testosterone propionate administration in horse hair samples
Hair analysis can detect testosterone in horses after drug administration.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome is associated with atherogenic changes in lipoprotein particle number and size independent of body weight
Women with PCOS have unhealthy changes in their cholesterol particles that are not related to their body weight.
research Ovarian morphology and prevalence of polycystic ovary syndrome in reproductive aged women with or without mild acne
Women with mild acne are more likely to have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) than those without acne.
research The frequency of polycystic ovary syndrome in females with resistant acne vulgaris
Many women with hard-to-treat acne also have PCOS.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Gonadal Dysgenesis: Associations between Clinical Features and Sex of Rearing.
Gonadal biopsy is the best method to diagnose gonadal dysgenesis.
research Transcriptomic profiling in Silurana tropicalis testes exposed to finasteride
Finasteride affects frog testes by increasing testosterone, decreasing 5α-DHT, and impacting genes related to reproduction and other functions.
research Selective induction of apoptosis in the hamster flank sebaceous gland organ by a topical liposome 5-α-reductase inhibitor: A treatment strategy for acne
A topical treatment safely and effectively reduced acne by causing targeted cell death in sebaceous glands without side effects.
research Acne in hirsute women
Hormonal treatments like birth control pills can improve acne in women with excess hair growth and hormone imbalances.
research Long-term treatment with finasteride induces apoptosis and pathological changes in female mice
Finasteride causes harmful organ changes in female mice.
research Unusual Presentation of Denys-Drash Syndrome in a Girl with Undisclosed Consumption of Biotin
A girl with Denys-Drash syndrome was misdiagnosed due to biotin affecting her hormone test results.
research Change in hair growth-related gene expression profile in human isolated hair follicles induced by 5-alpha reductase inhibitors – dutasteride and finasteride – in the presence of testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research Impact of Cernitin™ on induced chronic prostatitis in animal model for understanding management of lower urinary tract symptoms
Cernitin™, a pollen extract, was found to significantly reduce pain and inflammation in rats with chronic prostatitis, suggesting it could be a useful alternative to certain anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Tissue Engineering of the Reproductive System
Cell transplantation faces challenges in genitourinary reconstruction, but alternative tissue sources and microencapsulation show promise.
research Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide improves hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice and is associated with coordinated changes in local steroid metabolism, ESR1 activation, and keratin-related follicular responses
Dendrobium officinale polysaccharide helps hair regrowth in hair loss mice by affecting local steroid metabolism and hair follicle responses.
research Synergistic Effects of Cinnamomum zeylanicum and Inositol on Metabolic and Hormonal Parameters in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Combining cinnamon and inositol improves hormone and metabolism issues in women with PCOS.
research Testosterone Pellets in Women: Revisiting Safety and Clinical Outcomes
Testosterone pellets may help women's sexual function but have safety concerns and need more research.
research Correlation between Hormonal Imbalances and Adult Female Acne
Hormonal imbalances, especially high androgen levels and insulin resistance, are linked to worse acne in adult women.
