research Androgenic and Anti-Androgenic Effects of Progesterone Derivatives with Different Halogens as Substituents at the C-6 Position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research Effect of MK-386, a Novel Inhibitor of Type 1 5 Alpha-Reductase, Alone and in Combination with Finasteride, on Serum Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Men
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research The Use of Testosterone After Menopause
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual satisfaction and mood in surgically menopausal women when used with estrogen, but its long-term safety and effects on naturally menopausal and premenopausal women are unclear.
research Cutaneous Effects in Hormonal Contraception
Hormonal birth control can cause skin issues, but low-dose options and those with antiandrogens may reduce these effects.
research Reply to Finasteride and Dutasteride May Reduce Melanoma Risk
Finasteride and dutasteride may lower melanoma risk, with teenage acne possibly indicating higher risk.
research Fifteen-Minute Consultation: Approach to the Adolescent Presenting with Hirsutism
Hirsutism in teens is often due to polycystic ovarian syndrome and needs careful assessment and support.
research Proceedings From the Third Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies
The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.
research Hair Problems in Women: A 1997 Study on Prevalence, Psychological Impact, and Treatment Approaches
Hair problems are common and distressing for women, but increasing knowledge of treatments offers hope.
research Reexamining the Role of Diet in Dermatology
The ketogenic diet might improve certain skin conditions, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Potential Adverse Effects of Long-Term Testosterone Therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Androgens and Hair Growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Other Antiandrogens: Alternative Treatments for Acne and Hirsutism
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.
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 Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Antiandrogenic Activity of Riboflavin 5′-Phosphate (FMN) in 22Rv1 and LNCaP Human Prostate Cancer Cell Lines
Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.
research Molecular Interactions of Natural and Synthetic Steroids in Female Hamsters’ Flank Organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
research Pharmacological Basis for Clinical Use of Antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Promotion of Hair Growth by Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
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 Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research Pathomechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia and New Treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Endocrinology Overview: Male Reproductive Endocrinology and HPT Axis
