research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Premature Adrenarche, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and Intrauterine Growth Retardation: Does a Relationship Exist?
Low birthweight and rapid weight gain after birth may increase the risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome.
research COVID-19 Pandemic: What About the Gonads?

research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Testosterone Treatment in Women: An Overview
Testosterone treatment can improve sexual function and bone density in women but may have adverse effects and requires more research on safety and guidelines.
research Circulating and Intraprostatic Sex Steroid Hormonal Profiles in Relation to Male Pattern Baldness and Chest Hair Density Among Men Diagnosed with Localized Prostate Cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research COVID-19, Androgens, and Androgenic Alopecia
COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.
research Increased Androgen Receptor Messenger RNA in Frontal-Parietal Hair Follicles of Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
research Lack of Concordance and Linkage Disequilibrium Among Brothers for Androgenetic Alopecia and CAG/GGC Haplotypes of the Androgen Receptor Gene in Mexican Families
No clear link between specific gene and hair loss in Mexican brothers.
research Current Issues on the Genetic Implications and Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia
Hair loss is linked to heart disease and metabolic syndrome, and while current treatments vary in effectiveness, more research is needed for better solutions.
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 Insulin Resistance and Elevated Androgen Levels: A Major Cause of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance and high male hormone levels are major causes of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.

Testosterone may influence COVID-19 severity and outcomes.
research Cardiovascular Effects of Hormone Therapy for Prostate Cancer
Hormone therapy for prostate cancer can increase heart risks, especially in men with heart conditions.
research Male Pattern Baldness and Incidence of Prostate Cancer
Men with vertex baldness may have a higher risk of developing prostate cancer, but more research is needed to confirm this.
