Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.

The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.

MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.

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.

Hormonal birth control can cause skin issues, but low-dose options and those with antiandrogens may reduce these effects.

Finasteride and dutasteride may lower melanoma risk, with teenage acne possibly indicating higher risk.

Hirsutism in teens is often due to polycystic ovarian syndrome and needs careful assessment and support.

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.

The ketogenic diet might improve certain skin conditions, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

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

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.

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.

Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.

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.

Riboflavin 5′-phosphate (FMN) shows potential for treating androgen-related conditions but may be limited in treating prostate cancer.

Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.

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.

Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.

Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.

Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.

Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.

Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.

Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.

The document explains how male reproductive hormones work and affect the body.

The conclusion is that oral contraceptives and antiandrogens can treat hirsutism and acne in women with cutaneous hyperandrogenism, but more research is needed for effective treatments, especially for hair loss.
