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 Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Treatment Approaches
Androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition, is linked to changes in androgen metabolism and genetics, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil, but these treatments are only fully effective in 10% of patients.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Non-Invasive Diagnosis of Prostate Cancer from Body Fluids Using a Panel of Tumor Suppressor Genes
Blood tests for tumor cells could improve prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment; hair loss severity linked to a gene affecting prostate conditions.
research Serum Prostate Specific Antigen Levels in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with androgenetic alopecia (hair loss) have normal prostate specific antigen levels but higher testosterone levels.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Physiology of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis in the Male
The document explains how the male reproductive system works, its role in making testosterone, and how conditions like obesity can disrupt it, leading to low testosterone and fertility issues.
research New Methods of Endocrine Management of Prostatic Cancer
New hormonal therapies can help treat advanced prostate cancer but may cause testicular issues.
research Potential Targets in the Discovery of New Hair Growth Promoters for Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Epitestosterone: Regulatory Roles in Androgen-Dependent Processes
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
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 Acne: A Side Effect of Masculinizing Hormonal Therapy in Transgender Patients
Testosterone therapy in transgender men can cause acne.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is a common disorder causing symptoms like acne and infertility, and it's managed based on symptoms, not just test results. Treatment can improve fertility and reduce miscarriage risk.
research Low Sex-Hormone Binding Globulin Levels in Young Women with Diffuse Hair Loss
Young women with diffuse hair loss may have low SHBG levels, which could lead to more active testosterone and contribute to their hair loss.
research Changes in Androgen Levels in Menopausal Women
Menopausal women have higher androgen levels, which can cause symptoms like facial hair growth and low sexual desire.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Scalp Hair Regrowth in Hormone-Treated Transgender Woman
Hormone therapy with estradiol and spironolactone can regrow scalp hair in transgender women by lowering testosterone to female levels.
research The Hirsute Woman: Challenges in Evaluation and Management
Most hirsutism cases are due to PCOS, and treatment focuses on lowering testosterone and blocking its effects.
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.
research Postmenopausal Virilization After Spousal Use of Topical Androgens
A woman developed male traits from accidental contact with her husband's testosterone gel.
research Update on the Pathogenesis, Genetics, and Medical Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss
New genetic insights have improved understanding of hair loss, leading to a new test and treatments, but more research is needed on the test and laser comb effectiveness.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and the Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism
The document concludes that careful evaluation is needed to diagnose PCOS correctly due to similar symptoms in other conditions, and accurate testosterone level measurement is crucial.
research Immuno-Endocrinology of COVID-19: The Key Role of Sex Hormones
Sex hormones may affect COVID-19 severity, with estrogen possibly reducing risk and testosterone potentially increasing it.
research Antiandrogenic Activities of Glycyrrhiza Glabra in Male Rats
Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research The Effect of Alfacalcidiol and Metformin on Phenotype Manifestations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – A Preliminary Study
