research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Androgen metabolism in hirsute patients treated with cyproterone acetate
Cyproterone acetate effectively reduced hair growth in hirsute patients by lowering androgen levels and altering androgen metabolism.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Current understanding of androgenetic alopecia. Part I: etiopathogenesis.
Androgenetic alopecia is common hair loss due to genetics and DHT.
research Dutasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Dutasteride is becoming a popular hair loss treatment, proving more effective than finasteride with similar side effects.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Androgen physiology and the cutaneous pilosebaceous unit.
Androgen hormones affect hair growth and oil production, influencing conditions like hair loss and acne.
research Anti-Androgen Effects of Extracts and Compounds fromGanoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat prostate cancer by blocking male hormones and slowing cancer cell growth.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research Urinary steroids in women with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research Hirsutism, its pathogenesis
Hirsutism in females is caused by high male hormones or sensitive hair follicles.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Age‐dependent regulation by androgens of gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus and stress‐induced release of adrenal hormones in adolescent and adult male rats
Testosterone affects stress hormone levels differently in adolescent and adult male rats.
research Anti-androgenetic alopecia effect of policosanol from Chinese wax by regulating abnormal hormone levels to suppress premature hair follicle entry into the regression phase
Policosanol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair growth.
research Finasteride-related Leydig cell tumour: report of a case and literature review
Finasteride use may be linked to rare testicular tumor, but more research needed.
research Drug-induced gynecomastia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Certain drugs, especially antiandrogens and spironolactone, significantly increase the risk of gynecomastia.
research Mechanism of androgenic alopecia: Addressing speculations through empirical evidences
Hair loss in men is mainly caused by hormones and genes, and while current treatments can slow it down, they can't fully stop it.
research Nonscarring alopecias
Male pattern hair loss affects up to 80% of men due to genetics and hormone sensitivity.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Effects of finasteride on the morphology of polycystic ovaries
Finasteride doesn't change polycystic ovary size or cyst number, suggesting testosterone's role in their appearance.
research Evaluation of men on finasteride.
Finasteride reduces prostate size and serum levels, helping manage benign prostatic hyperplasia, without affecting prostate cancer detection. Regular monitoring is needed for users.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
