Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and NC-CAH: Distinct Characteristics and Common Findings. A Systematic Review
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is common in women with conditions like anovulation, hirsutism, hair loss, and type 2 diabetes, and it can lead to health risks like heart disease, obesity, insulin resistance, and depression. Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia (NC-CAH) is also discussed.
research Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Management of the Female With Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia: A Patient-Oriented Approach
The document concludes that managing non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia in females requires personalized treatment, genetic counseling, and a team of specialists.
research New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Novel Insights Into the Pathways Regulating the Canine Hair Cycle and Their Deregulation in Alopecia X
The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
research Ovarian Hyperthecosis in Adolescent Females: Two Case Reports and a Review of the Literature
Ovarian hyperthecosis should be considered in young women with severe male-like symptoms and can be managed with hormone treatments.
research Baicalin Inhibits Recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 Promoter and Reverses Hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
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 Ovarian Vein Sampling, and Serum and Urine Testosterone Monitoring in Ovarian Leydig Cell Tumors: A Report of Two Cases
Ovarian vein sampling helped diagnose rare ovarian tumors causing high testosterone, and surgery to remove the tumors lowered the testosterone levels.
research Hyperandrogenism and Cardiometabolic Risk in Pre- and Postmenopausal Women: What Is the Evidence?
Hyperandrogenism increases heart disease risk in premenopausal women, but this risk is linked to obesity in postmenopausal women.
research Corticosterone Inhibits GAS6 to Govern Hair Follicle Stem-Cell Quiescence
Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Diagnostic Approach to Low-Renin Hypertension
Recent genetic insights show that low-renin hypertension includes a range from essential hypertension to secondary or familial forms, affecting diagnosis and treatment.
