Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.

Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.

Obesity may contribute to female hair loss by increasing male hormone levels that affect hair follicles.

Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.

Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.

Hair loss may link to weaker COVID-19 immunity, suggesting possible need for extra vaccine boost.

Men have worse COVID-19 outcomes than women due to genetic and hormonal differences.

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.

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.

Male hormones like testosterone may make COVID-19 worse, and testing for sensitivity to these hormones could help predict how severe a patient's symptoms might be. Treatments that reduce these hormones are being explored.

Polycystic Ovary Syndrome is linked to higher risk of hypertension and heart disease.

Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.

Certain medications and maintaining adequate iron levels can help manage women's hair loss.

Betacoronaviruses, like COVID-19, may cause hormone system dysfunction and affect disease susceptibility and severity.

Women's hair gets thinner and grayer as they age, with treatments available for hair loss and graying.

Androgens, like testosterone, are crucial for early testicular descent in rats.

Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.

Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.

COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.

Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.

Androgenetic alopecia in men is genetic and linked to health issues like obesity and heart disease, with treatments including minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants.

Low-dose oral minoxidil effectively reduces hair loss in women with female pattern hair loss.

Personalized treatments for hair loss are becoming more effective by using genetic information.

CT scans can find serious prostate cancer even when PSA levels are low.

Green algae can break down finasteride, reducing environmental harm.

Higher DHT in male baldness may protect against prostate cancer.

PSA levels could help detect illegal steroid use in female athletes but face challenges like cost and PCOS prevalence.

Common acne treatments can cause various side effects, like skin irritation and more serious issues, but combination therapies are often more effective and better tolerated.
