research Molecular Basis of Androgenetic Alopecia: From Androgen to Paracrine Mediators Through Dermal Papilla
Male pattern baldness involves hormones and cell signals affecting hair growth.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenesis and Potential for Therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research Cardiac and Renal SARS-CoV-2 Viral Entry Protein Regulation by Androgens and Diet: Implications for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and COVID-19
Androgens and a high-fat diet may increase the risk of severe COVID-19 in women with PCOS by upregulating certain proteins in the heart and kidneys.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women: An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
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 The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Histological and Immunohistochemical Examination of the Effect of the Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen Flutamide on Some Organs of the Male Reproductive System in Albino Rats
Flutamide caused damage to male rat reproductive organs and may affect fertility.
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 Androgen Receptor Antagonists Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances, and requires ongoing treatment to manage.
research 5α-Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Managing the PCOS-Related Symptoms of Hirsutism, Acne, and Hair Loss
Birth control pills and anti-androgen medications help manage hair growth, acne, and hair loss in women with PCOS.
research Morphogenetic Mechanisms in the Cyclic Regeneration of Hair Follicles and Deer Antlers from Stem Cells
Hair follicles and deer antlers regenerate similarly through stem cells and are influenced by hormones and growth factors.
research Emerging Medication for the Treatment of Male Hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that proper diagnosis and combined treatments are key for hirsutism management, and weight loss may help overweight patients.
research PCOS: Update and Diagnostic Approach
The document concludes that more research is needed to fully understand the causes of PCOS.
research Application of Multi-Omics Techniques to Androgenetic Alopecia: Current Status and Perspectives
Multi-omics techniques help understand the molecular causes of androgenetic alopecia.
research The Evolving Role of Autologous Adipose Tissue in Treating Hair Loss
Using one's own fat may help treat hair loss.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Recent Developments in Alopecias
Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.
research The Mechanism of Androgen Actions in PCOS Etiology
