research Effectiveness of Ethinylestradiol/Chlormadinone Acetate in Treating Dermatological Conditions Related to High Androgen Levels
The oral contraceptive ethinylestradiol/chlormadinone acetate is effective in reducing acne and improving other skin conditions related to high androgen levels.
research Safety and Efficacy of Rice Bran Supercritical CO2 Extract for Hair Growth in Androgenic Alopecia: A 16-Week Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Rice Bran Supercritical CO2 Extract significantly increased hair density and diameter in male alopecia patients without any side effects.
research Male Pattern Baldness: Psychological Impact, Disease Association, and Treatment Options
Male pattern baldness is often genetic and linked to a hormone, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being effective for some men.
research Hair Aging And Anti-Aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
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 Androgen Effects on the Skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research The Effect of Finasteride on the Secretion of Testosterone, DHT, LH, FSH, and Tissue Factors in the Testis of NMRI Mice
Finasteride reduces sperm count and quality and alters hormone levels in mice.
research Pharmacology of Anabolic Steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Fortnightly Review: Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in men is common, treatable, but not curable.
research Finasteride Treatment of Female Pattern Hair Loss
Finasteride with oral contraceptive helps improve hair loss in premenopausal women.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormonal treatments, including birth control and antiandrogens, can effectively treat acne in women.
research Androgen Excess: Investigations and Management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Approach to the Adult Female Patient with Diffuse Nonscarring Alopecia
The document concludes that careful evaluation is key to diagnose and treat women with hair loss, with tests for thyroid, iron, and hormones as needed.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Evidence-Based Approach to Cutaneous Hyperandrogenism in Women
The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
research Hair Growth: Focus on Herbal Therapeutic Agents
Some plants may help with hair growth and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treat hair loss with finasteride, minoxidil, or surgery; consider side effects and severity.
research Age-Related Hair Changes in Men: Mechanisms and Management of Alopecia and Graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Repurposing Existing Drugs for COVID-19: An Endocrinology Perspective
Existing drug dexamethasone may lower death risk in severe COVID-19 cases; more research needed for other drugs.
research Alopecia and the Metabolic Syndrome
Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Review of Human Hair Follicle Biology: Dynamics of Niches and Stem Cell Regulation for Possible Therapeutic Hair Stimulation for Plastic Surgeons
Understanding hair follicle biology and stem cell control could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors: Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Medical Treatment Regimens of Hirsutism
Low-dose anti-androgen drugs and certain drug combinations are effective for hirsutism, and insulin sensitizers show promise, especially for those with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5-Alpha-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
