Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Clinical and Histopathological Features and Potential Pathological Mechanisms of Skin Lesions in COVID-19: Review of the Literature
COVID-19 can cause various skin lesions, which may result from the virus and immune response, and are not directly linked to illness severity.
research The SAHA Syndrome: Overview and Classification
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Does Prostaglandin D2 Hold the Cure to Male Pattern Baldness?
Prostaglandin D₂ might be targeted for new male pattern baldness treatments.
research Novel ALK5 Inhibitor TP0427736 Reduces TGF-β Induced Growth Inhibition in Human Outer Root Sheath Cells and Elongates Anagen Phase in Mouse Hair Follicles

research Table 1
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might reduce it. AST decreases recurrence-free survival but doesn't affect overall survival or progression-free survival. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits.
research Table 2
Androgen suppression therapy (AST) doesn't significantly lower bladder cancer risk, but using finasteride, a type of AST, might decrease the risk. AST also lessens the chance of cancer coming back but doesn't really affect survival rates. More research is needed to understand AST's benefits for different bladder cancers.
research Estrogens and Aging Skin
Estrogen therapy can reduce skin aging but has cancer risks.
research Testosterone Target Therapy: Focus on Immune Response, Controversies, and Clinical Implications in Patients with COVID-19 Infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
