Cyproterone acetate with ethinyl estradiol is effective for treating skin symptoms related to high androgen levels, like in PCOS.
research Treatment guidelines in adult women
Hormonal therapy is effective for treating acne in adult women, especially with signs of high androgen levels.
research Low Molecular Weight Collagen Peptide (LMWCP) Promotes Hair Growth by Activating the Wnt/GSK-3β/β-Catenin Signaling Pathway
A type of collagen helps hair grow by boosting cell growth and activating a specific hair growth pathway.
research Exploring the Mechanism of Platycladi Cacumen in Intervening Androgenetic Alopecia Based on Network Pharmacology, Molecular Docking, and Molecular Dynamics Simulation
Platycladi Cacumen may help treat hair loss by targeting specific proteins and pathways.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
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 Critical Developmental Periods for Effects on Male Rat Genitalia Induced by Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride affects male rat genitalia development, causing abnormalities during specific pregnancy days.
research New Donor Excision Design for Better Hair Alignment in Hair Restoration Surgery
The new triangular flag-shaped design for incisions in hair transplant surgery provides better hair alignment and cosmetic appearance without extra scarring, especially for patients with specific hair directions.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Recommendations of endocrine treatment for patients with gender dysphoria
The document concludes that hormone therapy is essential for treating gender dysphoria, with specific drugs and monitoring protocols recommended for safety and effectiveness.
