research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in Males
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research The Endocrinology of Baldness
Hormones and genetics play key roles in male and female baldness, which can affect mental health and may be linked to other health issues.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Age-Related Changes in Brain and Pituitary 5α-Reductase with Finasteride (Proscar) Treatment
Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.
research Hormonal Therapy in Dermatology
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research And Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Evaluation and Treatment of Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
research Development and Homeostasis of the Sebaceous Gland
The document concludes that understanding the sebaceous gland's development and function is key to addressing related skin diseases and aging effects.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Pilosebaceous Physiology in Relation to Hirsutism and Acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Pathways to Inflammation: Acne Pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research The Effect of 5-Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research Treatment of Hirsutism with 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research The Endocrine System and Hair Growth in the Rat
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Measurement of Hair Growth
Scalp hair grows at 0.37 mm/day, forearm hair at 0.18 mm/day, and thigh hair at 0.30 mm/day, with no significant differences found in people with certain hair conditions.
research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
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 Experimental and Early Investigational Drugs for Androgenetic Alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Serum 3α-Androstanediol-Glucuronide Is Decreased in Nonhirsute Women with Acne Vulgaris
Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Potential Factors Contributing to Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Pattern Baldness: Its Genetics Revisited
Pattern baldness is likely caused by a dominant gene influenced by testosterone levels, making it more common in men.
research Androgen-Induced Norepinephrine Release in Male Accessory Sex Organ Smooth Muscle Growth and Differentiation
Androgens increase norepinephrine release, promoting smooth muscle growth in male sex organs, which may contribute to benign prostatic hypertrophy.
