300-330 / 1000+ resultsresearch Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia
research Diseases Of The Canine Prostate Gland
The main prostate diseases in dogs are benign growth, infections, and cancer, with various treatments ranging from drugs to surgery, but cancer treatments have limited success.
research Androgen Biosynthetic Pathways in the Human Prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists Medical Guidelines for Clinical Practice for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
The guidelines help doctors diagnose and treat hormone-related disorders in women.
research Aldo-Keto Reductase (AKR) 1C3 Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.
research Treatment Options for Androgenetic Alopecia: Efficacy, Side Effects, Compliance, Financial Considerations, and Ethics
Combination therapies for androgenetic alopecia work best but can have significant side effects and costs.
research Activation of Extrasynaptic δ-GABAA Receptors Globally or Within the Posterior VTA Has Estrous-Dependent Effects on Alcohol Consumption and Estrous-Independent Effects on Locomotion
δ-GABAA receptors affect alcohol consumption based on the estrous cycle and influence movement regardless of the cycle.
research Alcohol and Prostate Cancer: Time to Draw Conclusions
Drinking a lot of alcohol increases the risk of prostate cancer and can worsen the condition.
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research The Relationship Between Acne and Other Hyperandrogenism Signs
Acne is strongly linked to high BMI, hair loss, menstrual issues, family history, and eating too many sweets and fatty foods, but not to excessive hair growth.
research The Endocrine Function Of The Skin: An Analytical Narrative
The skin acts like an endocrine organ, producing hormones that affect various body functions and skin health, and understanding this can lead to new treatments.
research Sex Differences in Opioid-Mediated Effects: Role of Androgens
Men and women react differently to opioids, with hormones potentially influencing these differences.
research Elevated Free Testosterone Levels in Women With Acne
Some women with acne have higher levels of free testosterone, which might suggest using hormonal treatments for acne.
research Plasma Testosterone Glucosiduronate: A Reliable Indicator of Female Hyperandrogenism (Idiopathic Hirsutism and Androgenic Alopecia)
Measuring plasma testosterone glucosiduronate is a reliable way to detect high male hormone levels in women.
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 Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Features, Diagnostic Criteria, and Treatments
PCOS is a long-term condition that needs more research for better understanding and treatment.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Urinary Steroid Analysis of Women with Effluvium
Women with effluvium have higher levels of certain urinary steroids, possibly due to stress and increased adrenal activity.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Management of Endocrine Disease: Hyperandrogenic States in Women - Pitfalls in Laboratory Diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
research Androgenic Alopecia in Females: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Activity of Type 1 5α-Reductase Is Greater in the Follicular Infrainfundibulum Compared with the Epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Clinical Use of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
