research Evaluation of the Relationship Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Demodex Infestation
There's no significant relationship between hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) and demodex infestation.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Treatment Approaches
Androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition, is linked to changes in androgen metabolism and genetics, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil, but these treatments are only fully effective in 10% of patients.
research Depression, Higher Level of Tension Induction, and Impaired Coping Strategies in Response to Stress in Women with PCOS Correlate with Clinical and Laboratory Indices of Hyperandrogenism and Not with Central Obesity and Insulin Resistance
Women with PCOS have more depression and stress due to high androgen levels, not obesity or insulin resistance.
research Cells to Surgery Quiz: April 2020

research Cartilage to Bone Transformation During Fracture Healing Is Coordinated by the Invading Vasculature and Induction of the Core Pluripotency Genes
Blood vessels and specific genes help turn cartilage into bone when bones heal.
research 3 Alpha, 17 Beta-Androstanediol Glucuronide in Plasma: A Marker of Androgen Action in Idiopathic Hirsutism
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
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 Clinical Usefulness of Plasma Androstanediol Glucuronide Measurements in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism
Measuring androstanediol glucuronide in blood is useful for assessing and tracking treatment in women with excessive hair growth.
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 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.
