research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
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 Probing Androgen Receptor Co-Factor Selectivity Profiles: A Chemical Tool to Determine Cross-Talk Between Androgen Receptor and Beta-Catenin In Vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
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 Clinical Exome Sequencing Unveils the Genetic Landscape of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Focusing on Lean and Obese Phenotypes: Implications for Cost-Effective Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment
Young women in West Bengal, India, with PCOS often have estrogen resistance, leptin receptor issues, folate deficiency, T2DM, and acanthosis, commonly linked to obesity.
research Analysis of Androgen Receptor Expression and Activity in the Mouse Brain
Androgen receptors in the mouse brain may explain cognitive and mood changes in prostate cancer treatment.
research Hair Cortisol: A Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Animals and Its Association With Reproduction
High levels of cortisol in hair show long-term stress which can lower fertility in animals.
research Design and Synthesis of Novel Androgen Receptor Antagonists with Sterically Bulky Icosahedral Carboranes
New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.
research The Role of Leptin in Selected Skin Diseases
Leptin affects skin and hair health and may worsen some skin conditions, but more research is needed to understand its full impact.
research The Effects of Estrogens on Linear Bone Growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Testosterone Is a Contraceptive and Should Not Be Used in Men Who Desire Fertility
Testosterone replacement therapy can prevent men from fathering children and should not be used by those wanting to stay fertile.
research Insulin Resistance Is Increased in Alopecia Areata Patients
People with alopecia areata have higher insulin resistance.
research PCOS: Perspectives from a Pediatric Endocrinologist and a Pediatric Gynecologist
The document concludes that early and personalized treatment for PCOS in adolescents is crucial to manage symptoms and prevent long-term health issues.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action, and Interactions in Mammals
The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.
research The Glucocorticoid Resistance Syndrome: Two Cases of a Novel Pathogenic Variant in the Glucocorticoid Receptor Gene
A new gene variant causes glucocorticoid resistance in a mother and son.
research Advances in Mitochondria-Centered Mechanism Behind the Roles of Androgens and Androgen Receptor in the Regulation of Glucose and Lipid Metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Targeted Transfollicular Delivery of Artocarpin Extract from Artocarpus Incisus by Means of Microparticles
Microparticles containing artocarpin extract could effectively treat hair loss and acne with minimal side effects.
research The Effects of Estrogens on Linear Bone Growth
Oestrogens are key for bone growth during puberty in both boys and girls.
research Neuroimmunology of Stress: Skin Takes Center Stage
Stress can worsen skin and hair conditions by affecting the skin's immune response and hormone levels.
research Light Scattering from Human Hair Fibers
Researchers developed a new model for more realistic computer graphics rendering of hair by considering how light scatters on hair fibers.

Targeting the IL-23/IL-17 pathway effectively treats several inflammatory skin diseases.
research Male-Pattern Baldness Susceptibility Locus at 20p11
Researchers found a new gene area linked to male-pattern baldness, which, along with another gene, significantly increases the risk of hair loss in men.
research Hyperandrogenism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
