research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Alterations in Pattern Baldness According to Sex: Hair Metabolomics Approach
Hair loss causes differ between men and women due to changes in hormone levels and inflammation-related pathways.
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 Finasteride Inhibits 5α-Reductase Activity in Human Dermal Fibroblasts: Prediction of Its Therapeutic Application in Androgen-Related Skin Diseases
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Is 3α, 17β-Androstanediol-Glucuronide a Diagnostic Marker in Women with Androgenic Manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Urinary 5-Ene-Steroid Excretion in Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Deficiency
Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.
research Hirsutism and Virilization in the Female
The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.
research The Influence of Low Dose Finasteride, a Type II 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Neuroactive Steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome: A Review of Current Literature
Post-finasteride Syndrome causes lasting negative effects, but more research is needed for treatment and risk evaluation.
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 Genetic Analysis of 5 Alpha Reductase Type 2 Enzyme in Relation to Oxidative Stress in Cases of Androgenetic Alopecia in a Sample of Egyptian Population
5α reductase type 2 enzyme mutation and oxidative stress may increase androgenetic alopecia risk in Egyptians.
research Acupuncture in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Potential and Challenges
Acupuncture may improve reproductive and metabolic functions in PCOS without negative side effects, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male androgenetic alopecia involves hair follicle miniaturization due to DHT, with potential treatments using inhibitors and blockers.
research Does Propecia Cause More Harm Than Good: Assessing Reproductive and Non-Reproductive Effects of Finasteride on Male Health
Finasteride treats hair loss but may cause low libido, erectile issues, and depression.
research Ton1 Recruiting Motif 21 Positively Regulates the Flavonoid Metabolic Pathway at the Translational Level in Arabidopsis Thaliana
TRM21 helps control flavonoid production and root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
research The Potential of Moringa (Moringa Oleifera Lamk) Seed Oil as Anti-Alopecia
Moringa seed oil may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research Major Approaches of Molecular and Physiopathological Mechanisms for Hormonal Treatment of Melasma: A Systematic Review
Estrogens and progesterone are key in regulating melasma pigmentation.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Steroid Hormones of Reproduction and Sexual Development
Sex hormones affect reproduction, sexual development, and oral health, and it's important for dental practitioners to understand their effects and interactions.
research Plasma Levels of C19 Steroid Glucuronides in Pre-Menopausal Women with Non-Classical Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research The Effects of Two Doses of Spironolactone on Serum Androgens and Anagen Hair in Hirsute Women
Spironolactone reduced hair thickness and some testosterone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Circulating Androgen Levels Before and After Oophorectomy in Premenopausal and Postmenopausal Women
Oophorectomy lowers testosterone and estrogen levels in both premenopausal and postmenopausal women, with postmenopausal women still producing significant testosterone.
research Simultaneous Quantitation of Nine Hydroxy-Androgens and Their Conjugates in Human Serum by Stable Isotope Dilution Liquid Chromatography Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine specific hormones in human blood.
research Preparation of Finasteride via Oxidative Elimination of 2-Iododihydrofinasteride Using Peroxydisulfates as Oxidizing Agents
Using K2S2O8 as an oxidizing agent in a specific condition, we can make Finasteride with 96.3% yield and 99.6% purity. This method is also good for other compounds and is environmentally friendly.
research Effect of Finasteride Treatment in Male Rat: Depressive-Like Behavior and Related Parameters
research A Risk-Benefit Assessment of Treatment with Finasteride in Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Finasteride helps reduce prostate size and symptoms in BPH but is less effective than terazosin and works best for larger prostates.
