research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Detailed Examination and Management Strategies
PCOS is a genetic disorder affecting women's reproductive health, with treatments focused on symptoms like insulin resistance and fertility.
research Androgens and Alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
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.
research Assessment of the Usefulness of Dihydrotestosterone in the Diagnostics of Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Safety Aspects of Androgen Treatment with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Androgen Receptor Activation Integrates Complex Transcriptional Effects in Osteoblasts, Involving the Growth Factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and Transcription Factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
research Big Head? Bald Head! Skull Expansion: Alternative Model for the Primary Mechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia
The paper suggests that hair loss might be caused by skull growth, not just DHT's effect on hair follicles, and calls for more research.
research Plasma-Polymerized Antibacterial Coating of Ovine Tendon Collagen Type I Crosslinked with Genipin and Dehydrothermal-Crosslinked as a Cutaneous Substitute for Wound Healing
The GNP crosslinked scaffold with antibacterial coating is effective for rapid wound healing and infection prevention.
research Insulin Resistance in Androgenetic Alopecia and Acne Vulgaris
Insulin might be involved in causing hair loss and acne.
research Low Anabolic Profile in Assessing a Patient’s Overall Hair Loss
Some supplements and hormones can increase hair loss by raising DHT levels.
research Associations Between Serum Dihydrotestosterone Levels, Lipid Parameters, and Anthropometric Measurements in Male Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus
Men with Type 2 Diabetes have lower DHT levels, which may affect fertility and lipid profiles.
research Acne-Associated Syndromes
Acne is linked to inflammation and insulin resistance, and is associated with various syndromes that require different treatments.
research Botanical Treatment for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Some plant-based treatments may help with ovary function, insulin resistance, and excess male hormones in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm their safety and effectiveness.
research Hyperandrogenemia in an Ethnically Heterogeneous Cohort of Midwestern United States Diabetic Pregnancies
Exposure to fatty acids significantly increased androgen levels in female dogs, suggesting a link to conditions like insulin resistance and PCOS.
research Acanthosis Nigricans, Insulin Resistance, and Cutaneous Virilism
The conclusion is that there's a link between high testosterone levels, insulin resistance, and certain skin conditions, regardless of obesity.
research Resistance Training Ameliorates Finasteride-Induced Disturbance in Protein Homeostasis in Skeletal Muscle of Rats
Resistance exercise can reduce muscle protein issues caused by finasteride.
research Genetic Ablation of Myelin Protein Zero-Like 3 in Mice Increases Energy Expenditure, Improves Glycemic Control, and Reduces Hepatic Lipid Synthesis
Removing myelin protein zero-like 3 in mice leads to better metabolism and resistance to obesity.
research The Acne Hormones
Eating high-glycemic and dairy foods can increase hormones that may cause acne and other health issues.
research Regulation of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase in the Skin of Normal and Hirsute Women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Hirsutism and Acne in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Lower doses of treatments for hirsutism and acne in PCOS are effective and cause fewer side effects.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Comparison of Finasteride Versus Flutamide in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
research Pharmacologic Therapy of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The document concludes that treating PCOS requires a combination of drugs to manage reproductive and metabolic symptoms, with more research needed on combination therapies.
research Maternal Androgen Excess Induces Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction in Female Mice Offspring
