Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research When Acne, Hirsutism, and Menstrual Irregularities Are More Than PCOS
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia (NCCAH) can mimic PCOS and requires genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment.
research Drug-Induced Hair Loss and Hair Growth
Some drugs can cause hair loss or increase hair growth, but these effects are usually reversible when the drug is stopped.
research Indications for a Brain-Hair Follicle Axis: Inhibition of Keratinocyte Proliferation and Up-Regulation of Keratinocyte Apoptosis in Telogen Hair Follicles by Stress and Substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research A Novel Point Mutation in the Ligand-Binding Domain of the Human Glucocorticoid Receptor Causing Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance: The Importance of the C Terminus in Conferring Transactivational Activity
A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Neurosteroids, Neuroactive Steroids, and Symptoms of Affective Disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Expression and Roles of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR) Protein in Non-Classical, Extra-Adrenal, and Extra-Gonadal Cells and Tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Chrousos Syndrome: From Molecular Pathogenesis to Therapeutic Management
The review suggests thorough evaluation and genetic testing for proper diagnosis and treatment of Chrousos syndrome.
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 Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Premature Adrenarche: Early Maturation of Adrenal Glands in Children
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
