research Androgen insufficiency in women: diagnostic and therapeutic implications
Testosterone replacement can help women with low libido and mood, but they need to have enough estrogen first to avoid side effects.
research The effects of synthetic 19-norprogestins on osteoblastic cell function are mediated by their non-phenolic reduced metabolites
Synthetic 19-norprogestins promote bone cell growth and function through their non-phenolic metabolites.
research Immunoreactivity of the SARS-CoV-2 entry proteins ACE-2 and TMPRSS-2 in murine models of hormonal manipulation, ageing, and cardiac injury
Age affects how certain proteins involved in COVID-19 infection are expressed in mice, but sex hormones and heart injury do not.
research 6 Current concepts of polycystic ovary syndrome
PCOS is often caused by hormonal imbalances that can lead to various health issues and may indicate a risk for future metabolic and cardiovascular problems.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research The novel drug CS-891 inhibits 5alpha-reductase activity in freshly isolated dermal papilla of human hair follicles.
CS-891 may effectively treat hair loss by blocking enzymes in hair follicles.
research Autotaxin–lysophosphatidic acid– LPA 3 signaling at the embryo‐epithelial boundary controls decidualization pathways
LPA3 signaling in the uterus is crucial for placental formation and fetal development.
research The expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) in the testis and epididymis of rats with a dihydrotestosterone (DHT) deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Diagnostic Value of VDR in Bone Metastasis and Prognosis of Patients with Breast Cancer and Expression Correlation between Vitamin D Receptor and Hairless Protein
Low Vitamin D receptor levels in breast cancer are linked to worse outcomes and more bone metastases, and could be a marker for prognosis.
research Measures of Adult Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Disease Activity and Damage
Choosing the right tools is crucial for accurately measuring lupus activity and damage.
research Regulation of the Wound Healing Response during Aging
Aging slows wound healing due to weaker cells and immune response.
research TRPV Channels in Osteoarthritis: A Comprehensive Review
TRPV channels are important in osteoarthritis and could be key to new treatments.
research Guidelines for the prevention of lower extremity arterial ulcers
Prevent lower extremity arterial ulcers by screening for risk factors, using medical treatments, and involving interdisciplinary care.
research Ursolic acid reduces prostate size and dihydrotestosterone level in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Ursolic acid can shrink the prostate and lower a hormone linked to prostate growth in rats.
research Two Opposing Faces of Retinoic Acid: Induction of Stemness or Induction of Differentiation Depending on Cell-Type
Retinoic acid can either maintain stem cells or make them specialize, depending on the cell type.
research Evidence for 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3-independent Transactivation by the Vitamin D Receptor
The vitamin D receptor can work without its usual activating molecule.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
research Endocrine intervention for transsexuals
Hormone treatment for transsexual individuals is effective but carries risks like thromboembolic events and mood changes, with most side effects being minor and reversible.
research Gender Differences in Response to COVID-19 Infection and Vaccination
Men generally face more severe COVID-19 outcomes than women, partly due to hormonal differences.
research Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research Androgens in cervical cancer: Their role in epidemiology and biology
Androgens increase cervical cancer risk and affect its development.
research Practical approaches to the use of markers of biochemical hyperandrogenism in women
Accurate diagnosis and treatment of hyperandrogenism in women require comprehensive evaluation of symptoms and hormone levels.
research Integrated Multi-Omics Analysis Reveals Dysregulated Lipid Metabolism as a Novel Mechanism in Androgenetic Alopecia
Dysregulated lipid metabolism may play a role in male pattern baldness.
research Engineered Exosomes Biopotentiated Hydrogel Promote Hair Follicle Growth via Reprogramming the Perifollicular Microenvironment
The new hydrogel treatment promotes faster hair growth and better skin health for hair loss.
research A guide to understanding polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS)
PCOS is a common hormonal disorder in women, marked by high androgen levels and often seen in 20% of women via ultrasound.
