PCOS is linked to a higher risk of endometrial cancer but not ovarian or breast cancer, and more research is needed on its role in cancer development and treatment effects.
research Bladder Cancer Survival in Men Using 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Using 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may improve bladder cancer survival in men.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Sex Hormones Modulate Pathogenic Processes in Experimental Traumatic Brain Injury
Sex hormones affect brain injury differently in males and females.
research Polygonum Multiflorum Extract Supports Hair Growth by Elongating Anagen Phase and Abrogating the Effect of Androgen in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps hair grow longer and fights the effects of hormones that cause hair loss.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2019
The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
research Screening of Euphorbiaceae Plant Extracts for Anti-5α-Reductase Activity
Phyllanthus urinaria extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Androgenic Alopecia in a Postmenopausal Sicilian Baroness
The painting of an 18th-century Sicilian baroness shows she had hair loss, possibly due to ovarian issues, insulin resistance, or a specific type of tumor.
research Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Alter But Do Not Eliminate Androgen Synthesis Mechanisms During Progression to Castration-Resistance in LNCaP Prostate Xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Establishment and Characterization of Five Immortalized Human Scalp Dermal Papilla Cell Lines
Researchers created five new human scalp cell lines that could be useful for hair growth and loss research.
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 Finasteride in the Treatment of Female Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride may help postmenopausal women with hair loss but is not effective for all and should be used cautiously in premenopausal women.
research Hirsutism: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that hirsutism can be managed with various treatments tailored to the individual, potentially improving quality of life.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors in Dermatologic Treatments
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
