research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2019
The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
research C-MYC-Induced Sebaceous Gland Differentiation Is Controlled by an Androgen Receptor/p53 Axis
The balance between androgen receptor and p53 is crucial for sebaceous gland differentiation.
research Advances in Male Hormone Substitution Therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research Prostate-Sparing Effects in Primates of the Potent Androgen 7α-Methyl-19-Nortestosterone: A Potential Alternative to Testosterone for Androgen Replacement and Male Contraception
MENT could be a better option than testosterone for male hormone therapy and birth control because it works well at lower doses and has fewer side effects on the prostate.
research Estrogens and the Skin
Estrogen loss during menopause worsens skin health, but hormone replacement therapy may improve it, though more research is needed.
research Steady-State Pharmacokinetics of Oral Testosterone Undecanoate with Concomitant Inhibition of 5α-Reductase by Finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.
research Understanding Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS affects many women, causing various symptoms and health risks, and is managed through lifestyle changes, medication, and support groups.
research Hair Growth as Anti-Aging
Anti-aging treatments like hair transplants, minoxidil, and finasteride effectively promote hair growth.
research Menstrual Disorders in Adolescents
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.
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 Lean Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS in lean women is a serious health condition with implications beyond fertility, affecting metabolism and increasing cardiovascular disease risk.
research Expression of Type 1 5α-Reductase and Metabolism of Testosterone in Reconstructed Human Epidermis: A New Model for Screening Skin-Targeted Androgen Modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research The Androgen Receptor Antagonizes Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling in Epidermal Stem Cells
Androgen receptor activity blocks Wnt/β-catenin signaling, affecting hair growth and skin cell balance.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Main Plenary Sessions: Summaries of Papers
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and treatment are crucial in dermatology, and it presents various findings on skin conditions and treatments.
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 Androgen Therapy in Women: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The Endocrine Society advised against routine testosterone therapy for women, citing a need for more research on long-term safety and a clear definition of androgen deficiency.
research Androgen Treatment in Women: A Review of Testosterone Therapy and Its Effects
Testosterone therapy can help improve sexual function, mood, and bone density in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on long-term safety.
research Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inhibiting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production in Dermal Papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Hyaluronic Acid-FGF2-Derived Peptide Bioconjugates for Suppression of FGFR2 and AR Simultaneously as an Acne Antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research RU 58841, A New Specific Topical Antiandrogen: A Candidate of Choice for the Treatment of Acne, Androgenetic Alopecia, and Hirsutism
RU 58841 may treat acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Human Type 3 5α-Reductase Is Expressed in Peripheral Tissues at Higher Levels Than Types 1 and 2 and Its Activity Is Potently Inhibited by Finasteride and Dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray
Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.
research Hot Topics in Pediatric Dermatology
