Testosterone therapy can help postmenopausal women with low sexual desire but needs more safety research and should be used with estrogen therapy.

The study found that sweat glands normally suppress immune responses, but this is disrupted in certain skin diseases, possibly contributing to their development.

Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.

Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.

Hormones might affect the skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa, but their exact role is unclear.

The conclusion suggests that prostate cancer should be classified by castration status and that new therapies targeting androgen receptor signaling show promise.

Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.

Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.

Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.

Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.

Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.

Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.

Negative expectations can cause adverse effects in dermatology treatments, like with finasteride for baldness, and careful communication can help reduce these nocebo responses.

Men with less sun-sensitive skin have lower PSA levels, while men with more sun-sensitive skin have higher PSA levels.

The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.

Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.

LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.

The document concludes that certain genetic mutations and dietary factors are involved in acne development, and treatments like isotretinoin and diet changes can help manage it.

FPHL is a common, age-related, genetic hair loss with unclear causes and limited treatment options.

The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.

Hair problems are common and distressing for women, but increasing knowledge of treatments offers hope.

Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.

Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.

Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.

Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.

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.

AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.

DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.

Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.

COVID-19 may affect male fertility and women might have better outcomes due to hormonal and immune differences.
