research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research The Function of 5α-reductase in Related Diseases
5α-reductase enzyme affects hormone levels, influencing conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women
The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Dermatological alterations induced by gynecological hormonal imbalances: Acne, hirsutism and alopecia
Hormonal imbalances can cause acne, excess hair growth, and hair loss in women, needing combined medical and emotional care.
research Local stimulation of sebaceous gland activity by the topical administration of dehydroepiandrosterone
Topical DHEA safely increases skin oil production.
research 498 Innate immunity activation of sebocyte cells by living bacteria. Evidence of a potential immunosuppressive effect of DHT
DHT may reduce inflammation caused by certain bacteria in skin cells.
research [Epididymis in an experimental model of DHT deficiency: immunolocalization of ERalpha and ERbeta in rat epididymal epithelial cells. In vivo and in vitro studies].
DHT deficiency may disrupt rat epididymis function by affecting estrogen receptors.
research Female androgenic alopecia. The 3 alpha,17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide/sex hormone binding globulin ratio as a possible marker for female pattern baldness
Women with more 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide compared to sex hormone binding globulin are more likely to have female pattern baldness.
research Untreated Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Presenting with Severe Androgenic Alopecia
Untreated Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia can cause severe hair loss due to high androgen levels.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research [Endocrinologic diagnosis in hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women].
Hirsutism and androgenetic alopecia in women are often due to increased androgen effects, and antiandrogen treatment is recommended to prevent further issues.
research [Hirsutism].
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often treated cosmetically or with hormone therapy if contraception is also desired.
research [Androgenetic alopecia. Denser hair growth on two-thirds of balding scalps].
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Hormone-induced aberrations in electromagnetic adhesion signaling as a developmental factor of androgenetic alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research DHEA and frontal fibrosing alopecia: molecular and physiopathological mechanisms
DHEA reduction may be linked to frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer
Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Disorders in Male Sexual Differentiation Due to 5α-Reductase-2 Deficiency
5α-reductase-2 deficiency causes ambiguous genitalia at birth and affects male sexual development, but individuals often develop male characteristics at puberty.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Adrenal androgenic female-pattern alopecia: sex hormones and the balding woman
Higher DHEAS levels may cause hair loss in women by disrupting hair growth.
research Systematic analyses of murine masculinization processes based on genital sex differentiation parameters
DHT is crucial for urethral formation, and its disruption can affect masculinization and lead to hypospadias.
research Concept and Management of Diffuse Hair Loss (Intithār al-Sha‘r) in the light of Unani medicine: A Review
Unani medicine links diffuse hair loss to poor skin pore function and body dryness, leading to thinning hair.
research Bone mineral density in hyperandrogenic amenorrhoea
Women with hyperandrogenic amenorrhea have similar bone density to healthy women but lower than androgenized women without amenorrhea, and high DHEAS levels might affect bone density.
research Hormone und Behaarung
Hormones, especially androgens, affect hair growth and can cause hair loss or excess hair in both men and women.
research Heterozygous 21‐hydroxylasedeficiency as a cause of hyperandrogenism
A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.
research Steroid Chemistry and Hormone Controls during the Hair Follicle Cycle
Differences in enzyme activity and androgen receptors in hair follicles may explain why hair loss appears differently in men and women.
research Hormonal Basis of Male and Female Androgenic Alopecia: Clinical Relevance
Hair loss in men and women is linked to high stress hormone levels and other hormonal imbalances, suggesting treatments should be customized to each person's hormones.
