Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.

Metformin and rosiglitazone improve blood vessel function in women with PCOS, with metformin also reducing insulin resistance and testosterone levels.

Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.

The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.

Simvastatin may help manage symptoms in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia by lowering cholesterol and certain hormone levels.

Leonuri Herba alkaloids may help treat hormone-induced enlarged prostate in rats.

Testosterone affects blood vessel relaxation in hypertensive rats.

The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.

Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.

Sex hormones, especially estradiol, can change chicken feather shapes and colors.

Paeonia lactiflora and Poria cocos extracts can potentially increase hair growth and reduce hair loss symptoms by lowering testosterone and inflammation levels.

Increased free testosterone can lead to stronger bones and less body fat but also higher risks of prostate cancer, hair loss, spine issues, and high blood pressure.

Testosterone treatment in trans men increases body and facial hair and may lead to hair loss over time, but severe skin issues are rare.

Doxil showed some effectiveness against advanced prostate cancer but caused severe side effects at higher doses.

Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.

Furless male rabbits grew slightly faster and heavier than furred ones, but testosterone levels were not the cause.

A new method can almost perfectly distinguish adenomyosis from similar conditions using blood tests.

Vitamin D deficiency is common in temporary hair loss, and stress is often a suspected cause.

Vitamin D is important for bones, hair, blood pressure, and breast development.

Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.

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.

Certain gene variations might help protect against insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in people with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

High levels of male hormones are very common in women with PCOS and affect their metabolism differently depending on their weight.

Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.

Both finasteride and GnRH agonist treatments reduced hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but GnRH agonist was more effective.
