The removed ovarian tumor was a rare type of blood vessel tumor that improved the patient's symptoms and hormone levels after surgery.
research The laboratory in the multidisciplinary diagnosis of differences or disorders of sex development (DSD)
Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research The acne hormones
Eating high-glycemic and dairy foods can increase hormones that may cause acne and other health issues.
research Modelling androgen synthesis and action during human sexual differentiation
Male sexual differentiation is regulated independently, while female differentiation occurs in an androgenic environment, affecting conditions like congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research The role of dutasteride in the treatment of benign prostatic obstruction and related conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.
research Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3): A Patient’s Perspective
Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3) can effectively manage prostate cancer but requires careful monitoring for heart risks.
research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factor(s) in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells
Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.
research Androgenetic alopecia in a postmenopausal woman as a result of ovarian hyperthecosis
Hair loss in postmenopausal woman caused by ovarian issue.
research Endocrinologic Aspects of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hormones might affect the skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa, but their exact role is unclear.
research Understanding and Addressing Hair Disorders in Transgender Individuals
Hormone therapy affects hair growth in transgender individuals, with testosterone potentially causing hair loss in trans men and estrogen reducing facial/body hair in trans women; treatment options vary.
research Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis
Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.
research Age-dependent endocrine disorders involved in the pathogenesis of refractory acne in women
Hormonal imbalances, often indicating conditions like PCOS, are common in women with hard-to-treat acne, and a treatment approach addressing these imbalances may be needed.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research Sub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α,βandγin the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone increases certain kidney protein levels, potentially raising blood pressure.
research An ovarian Leydig cell tumor of ultrasound negative in a postmenopausal woman with hirsutism and hyperandrogenism
A postmenopausal woman's hirsutism and high testosterone levels improved after surgery for an ovarian tumor not seen on ultrasound.
research New Insights into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations from HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Effect of Saw Palmetto Supplements on Androgen-Sensitive LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Number and Syrian Hamster Flank Organ Growth
Saw palmetto supplements may reduce prostate cancer cell growth without being toxic.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) in androgenic alopecia An effective phytotherapy
Saw palmetto is an effective natural treatment for hair loss with minimal side effects.
research Treatment of female sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women—What is the evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research Free Androgen Index (FAI): Marker of Premature Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
The Free Androgen Index (FAI) is the best indicator of early hair loss in men before age 30.
research Androgen replacement therapy in women
Androgen replacement therapy can improve libido and mood in women with severe androgen deficiency, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
