research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss: Current Treatment Concepts
Female pattern hair loss, common in women, can be treated with oral antiandrogens and topical minoxidil, but these are more effective at preventing further loss than regrowing hair. Other helpful methods include counseling, cosmetic camouflage, and hair transplantation. Treatment must continue for effects to last and it may take up to 2 years to see results.
research Hair Problems in Women: A 1997 Study on Prevalence, Psychological Impact, and Treatment Approaches
Hair problems are common and distressing for women, but increasing knowledge of treatments offers hope.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Finasteride And Dutasteride May Reduce Melanoma Risk
Finasteride and dutasteride might lower melanoma risk.
research Antiandrogens: Clinical Applications
Antiandrogens help treat hormone-related conditions in both men and women.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by genetic factors and hormones, with different mechanisms in men and women, and can be linked to insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Sulfatase Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The document concludes that research on sulfatase inhibitors should continue due to their potential in treating various diseases, despite some clinical trial failures.
research Actions of Isotretinoin and Etretinate on the Pilosebaceous Unit
Isotretinoin shrinks sebaceous glands without affecting hair or skin color, unlike etretinate.
research Other Antiandrogens: Alternative Treatments for Acne and Hirsutism
Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.
research Acne
Acne is a common skin condition linked to diet, hormones, and genetics, and early treatment can prevent scarring.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often treated cosmetically or with hormone therapy if contraception is also desired.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgens Protect Against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Promotion of Hair Growth by Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
research Anti-Androgenic Effect of Sesquiterpenes Isolated from the Rhizomes of Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Endocrinology of the Aging Prostate: Current Concepts
Hormones affect prostate health and disease, with certain hormone imbalances linked to prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adult Women
PCOS is a common hormonal disorder in women that can affect skin, fertility, and metabolism, and treatment is tailored to individual needs.
research Pathomechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia and New Treatment
Male hormones can cause hair loss, but treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride can help, and targeting TGF-B1 could be a future solution.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Pathomechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia and New Treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research A Role for Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 in Vascular Remodeling During Endometrial Decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
