research Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur Syndrome Associated with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (Testicular Feminization)
A woman had both Graham Little-Piccardi-Lassueur syndrome, causing hair loss, and complete androgen insensitivity syndrome, making her genetically male but physically female. This suggests androgens don't affect the hair loss condition.
research Hair Growth as Anti-Aging
Anti-aging treatments like hair transplants, minoxidil, and finasteride effectively promote hair growth.
research Regulatory Roles of Androgens in Cutaneous Wound Healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Androgenic Alopecia in Females: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia: The 3 Alpha, 17 Beta-Androstanediol Glucuronide/Sex Hormone Binding Globulin Ratio as a Possible Marker for Female Pattern Baldness
Women with more 3α,17β-androstanediol glucuronide compared to sex hormone binding globulin are more likely to have female pattern baldness.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Obstructive Sleep Apnea Due to Endogenous Testosterone Production in a Woman
Removing a testosterone-producing tumor cured a woman's sleep apnea and other symptoms.
research Hair, Aging, And Environment: Clinical Epidemiological Aspects
Environmental factors like smoking, UV exposure, and poor diet contribute to hair loss and graying, and lifestyle changes can help manage it.
research The Effect of GGC and CAG Repeat Polymorphisms on the Androgen Receptor Gene in Response to Finasteride Therapy in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Fewer GGC sequences in the androgen receptor gene improve finasteride treatment for hair loss.
research Fetal Programming of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome by Androgen Excess: Evidence from Experimental, Clinical, and Genetic Association Studies
Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
research Rooster Feathering, Androgenic Alopecia, And Hormone-Dependent Tumor Growth: What Is In Common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Plants as Potential Active Components in Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Plant extracts may help treat hormone-related hair loss.
research The Influence of Androgens on Insulin Resistance
Higher levels of unbound testosterone are linked to increased insulin resistance, especially in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research Reexamining the Role of Diet in Dermatology
