research Pediatric Dermatology Photoquiz: A 14-Year-Old Boy with Abrupt-Onset Hair Changes
A 14-year-old boy was diagnosed with a rare hair condition that may lead to hair thinning and has no known effective treatments.
research Anti-Androgenic Effect of Sesquiterpenes Isolated from the Rhizomes of Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Treatment of Female Androgenetic Alopecia With Cimetidine
A drug called cimetidine can help treat hair loss in women by blocking androgen receptors. However, it's not the first choice and needs more research.
research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
Antiandrogen therapy helps treat genetic hair loss.
research Guidelines on the Use of Finasteride in Androgenetic Alopecia
Taking 1 mg of finasteride daily can increase hair count and improve hair appearance, but it may have side effects on sexual function and a potential risk of prostate cancer. It may not be effective for postmenopausal women unless taken in higher doses.
research Histological and Immunohistochemical Examination of the Effect of the Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen Flutamide on Some Organs of the Male Reproductive System in Albino Rats
Flutamide caused damage to male rat reproductive organs and may affect fertility.
research Androgens Protect Against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Can Developmental Origins Explain the Pattern?
Male pattern hair loss may be linked to the developmental origins of hair follicles.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is excessive male-pattern hair growth in women, often caused by hormonal imbalances, and requires ongoing treatment to manage.
research Daily Intake of Alfalfa Sprouts, But Not Broccoli Sprouts, Influences Plasma Levels of Androgen in Middle-Aged Males
Eating alfalfa sprouts every day can raise testosterone levels in middle-aged men, but broccoli sprouts don't have this effect.
research 4-O-Methylhonokiol Protects HaCaT Cells from TGF-β1-Induced Cell Cycle Arrest by Regulating Canonical and Non-Canonical Pathways of TGF-β Signaling
4-O-Methylhonokiol helps protect skin cells from growth-stopping effects of a protein by regulating growth-related pathways.
research Identification of Androgen-Regulated Genes in SV40-Transformed Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
Hsc70 protein may influence hair growth by responding to androgens.
research Hirsutism: From Diagnosis to Use of Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are the main treatment for hirsutism, with individualized care and safe, affordable options needed.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research The Effect of Finasteride in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Finasteride effectively treats BPH but may increase sexual dysfunction risk.
research Comparison of Cyproterone Acetate Plus Ethinyl Estradiol and Finasteride in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate plus ethinyl estradiol is generally more effective in treating hirsutism, but consider side effects and patient characteristics.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Androgen Secreting Steroid Cell Tumor of the Ovary Presented with Postmenopausal Bleeding and Extensive Hirsutism
Ovarian steroid cell tumors should be considered in adults with hirsutism and high testosterone, with surgery as the main treatment.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
research Age-Dependent Associations Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Prostate Cancer Risk
Early balding at 40 increases prostate cancer risk.
research An Ovarian Leydig Cell Tumor Undetected by Ultrasound in a Postmenopausal Woman with Hirsutism and Hyperandrogenism
A postmenopausal woman's hirsutism and high testosterone levels improved after surgery for an ovarian tumor not seen on ultrasound.
research The Potential of Circulating Endothelial Cells as Prognostic Biomarkers in Prostate Cancer
CEC levels may be a useful marker for predicting prostate cancer progression.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.
research Androgens’ Effects Across the Lifespan in Men and Animal Models
Androgens, male hormones, affect physical and mental functions, with a decrease leading to health issues like muscle loss, bone disease, and depression, and more research is needed on long-term effects and treatments.
