research Approach to Androgen Excess in Women: Clinical and Biochemical Insights
The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
research Approach to Investigation of Hyperandrogenism in a Postmenopausal Woman
Postmenopausal hyperandrogenism, a condition with symptoms like increased hair growth and acne, is usually caused by PCOS but can also be due to other factors. It's diagnosed by checking testosterone levels and treated either by removing the adrenal tumor or through antiandrogen therapy.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research A Recently Characterized, Underdiagnosed Cause of Female Androgenetic Alopecia and Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Non-Classical 21 Hydroxylase Deficiency
Non-classical 21 hydroxylase deficiency is an underdiagnosed cause of female hair loss and polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Disruptors of Androgen Action and Synthesis
Certain pesticides and fungicides can interfere with male hormone functions, potentially causing reproductive issues in male rats.
research Metabolism of Finasteride in Rat Hepatic Microsomes: Age and Sex Differences and Effects of P450 Inducers
Finasteride metabolism varies by age, sex, and P450 inducers, with males processing it faster.
research Genetic Basis of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that PCOS has a strong genetic component, but more research is needed to fully understand the specific genes involved.
research Detecting the Mechanism Behind the Transition from Fixed Two-Dimensional Patterned Sika Deer (Cervus Nippon) Dermal Papilla Cells to Three-Dimensional Pattern
The study concluded that changing the culture conditions can cause sika deer skin cells to switch from a flat to a 3D pattern, which is important for creating hair follicles.
research On the Role of Melatonin in Skin Physiology and Pathology
Melatonin is important for skin health and protection, and can be made by the skin or applied to it.
research Downstream Molecular Responses to Volatile Signaling in Roots
Plant roots respond to fungus smells by possibly using certain proteins and a plant hormone to change root growth, but more research is needed.
research Prolonged Use of Finasteride-Induced Gonadal Sex Steroids Alterations, DNA Damage, and Menstrual Bleeding in Women
Long-term use of finasteride in women can cause hormonal changes, DNA damage, and menstrual issues.
research Androgenic Alopecia in Females: Diagnosis and Treatment
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Alopecia: Unapproved Treatments or Indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Treatment of Acne Vulgaris: A Literature Review
The document concludes that effective acne treatment requires a personalized combination of therapies and long-term commitment, with retinoids being important for maintenance.
