research Identification of Androgen-Inducible TGF-β1 Derived from Dermal Papilla Cells as a Key Mediator in Androgenetic Alopecia
TGF-β1 from dermal papilla cells suppresses hair growth, and targeting it may help treat androgenetic alopecia.
research Dermatology of Androgen-Related Disorders
Androgens cause skin issues like acne and hair growth in women, often due to PCOS, and can be treated with medication and lifestyle changes.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research The Mechanism of Androgen Actions in PCOS Etiology
Androgens play a key role in causing PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome).
research Adverse Health Effects of Androgen Use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research Metabolism and Action of Androgen in the Skin
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research Clinical Case Seminar: Postmenopausal Androgen Excess - Challenges in Diagnostic Work-Up and Management of Ovarian Thecosis
The conclusion is that removing both ovaries is the best treatment for excess male hormones in postmenopausal women, with medication as another option, and managing insulin resistance is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research Safety Aspects of Androgen Treatment with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Hair Growth and Androgen Responses in Hirsute Women Treated with Continuous Cyproterone Acetate and Cyclical Ethinyl Estradiol
The treatment significantly reduced hair growth and male hormone levels in hirsute women.
research Aspects of Cutaneous Androgen-Dependent Syndromes
Understanding hormones is key to treating certain skin conditions.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Steroid Inhibitors of Androgen-Potentiated Actions on Skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research Digit-Length Ratios (2D:4D) as a Phenotypic Indicator of In Utero Androgen Exposure Is Not Prognostic for Androgenic Alopecia: A Descriptive-Analytic Study of 1200 Iranian Men
Finger length ratios don't predict baldness in men.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid, and Carnitine-Containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-Based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
research Testosterone Metabolite Nonessential For Androgen Effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
research Evaluation of Androgen-Dependent Skin Findings of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
The most common skin issues in females with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are excessive hair growth, hair loss, oily skin, acne, dark skin patches, and skin tags, which may be linked to hormone and insulin levels.
research Novel Androgen Receptor Degrader for Androgenetic Alopecia Application
research The Observation of Androgen Receptor Expression in Androgenetic Alopecia Patients
research Analysis of Polymorphism of Androgen Receptor in Cases of Androgenetic Alopecia
research Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk and Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: A Consensus Statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Women with PCOS should be screened for heart disease risk and manage their health to prevent it.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Germacrene Analogs Are Anti-Androgenic on Androgen-Dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Differences in the Mechanisms of Androgen Action in Hair Follicles from Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
research The Case of the Elusive Androgen
The patient's high testosterone was reduced by a medication that suppresses gonadotropin.
research A Missense Mutation in Lama3 Causes Androgen Alopecia
A gene mutation in Lama3 is linked to a common type of hair loss.
research Measurement and Comparison of Various Androgen Levels in Women with Severe Acne, Hirsutism, and Androgenic Alopecia
Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.
