Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and COVID-19: A Review of the Hypothetical Role of Androgens
Possible link between androgens and COVID-19 severity; more research needed.
research Endocrine Systems of the Skin: A 2019 Review
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, making hormones that affect skin diseases and respond to stress.
research Investigating the Safety and Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma Treatment for Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Review of the Literature
PRP treatment may promote hair growth and improve hair density in women with AGA, but more research is needed.
research Emerging Topics in Cardiometabolic and Psychological Sequelae, Pathogenesis, and Treatment of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: A Review
The review concludes that more research is needed to better improve the health outcomes for people with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome.
research Identification of 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in Canine Skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action, and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Effect of Decellularisation Methods on Methacryloyl-Substituted Placental ECM Hydrogels
PlacMA hydrogels from human placenta are versatile and useful for cell culture and tissue engineering.
research Gonads
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis of male and female gonadal disorders is crucial for effective treatment and better patient outcomes.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Criteria for the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Complete Task Force Report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2012 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study updated its design and objectives in 2012, providing insights into various diseases in the elderly, including skin cancer, bone health, liver disease, neurological and psychiatric conditions, and respiratory issues.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido, Erectile Dysfunction, and Depression in a Subset of Patients
Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research Biomaterials Functionalized with MSC Secreted Extracellular Vesicles and Soluble Factors for Tissue Regeneration
Biomaterials with MSC-derived substances could improve tissue repair and have advantages over direct cell therapy.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor Beta Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor Alpha and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
