research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Androgen Effects in Mammals
Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
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 Adverse Health Effects of Androgen Use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research Age-Dependent Endocrine Disorders Involved in the Pathogenesis of Refractory Acne in Women
Hormonal imbalances, often indicating conditions like PCOS, are common in women with hard-to-treat acne, and a treatment approach addressing these imbalances may be needed.
research Urinary Steroids in Men with Male-Pattern Alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
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 The Influence of Obesity on Androstenedione to Testosterone Ratio in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Hyperandrogenemia
Obesity changes androgen levels in women with PCOS, leading to higher testosterone relative to androstenedione.
research Prevalence of Polycystic Ovaries in Women with Androgenic Alopecia
Women with androgenic alopecia are more likely to have polycystic ovaries and higher androgen levels, which may indicate PCOS.
research What Does the Research Say About Androgen Use and Cerebrovascular Events?
Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.
research Pharmacology of Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Hidradenitis Suppurativa/Acne Inversa: An Endocrine Skin Disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research Serum C-19 Steroid Sulphates in Females with Clinical Hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Hormones and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Autosomal Dominant Disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Expression of Steroidogenic Enzymes in Human Sebaceous Glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Contraceptive Use in Acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Unwanted Hair
Women with excessive hair growth often have hormonal issues and need medical advice and treatment.
research Serum Metabolomics Study of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Liquid Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry
Women with PCOS have different levels of certain fats and proteins in their blood, which could help diagnose the condition.
research Patterned Androgenic Alopecia in Women
"Male-pattern" hair loss is common in women, especially after menopause, and doesn't always mean there's a problem with hormone balance.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Inhibition of Skin 5α-Reductase by Oral Contraceptive Progestins In Vitro
Norgestimate is the most effective birth control progestin for reducing an enzyme linked to acne and excessive hair growth in women.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Gene Expression of Type 2 17β Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Scalp Hairs of Hirsute Women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
