research Liver function congruence with contraceptive medical profile in women at child-bearing ages
This study assessed the impact of hormonal contraceptives on liver function in 46 women aged 25-45 and found that contraceptive users, particularly those using combined oral contraceptives, had significantly higher liver enzyme levels compared to non-users, suggesting potential adverse effects that warrant further investigation.
research Detection of Iodine by Scanning Electron Microscopy(SEM) and Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy(EDS) Following Contact with an Iodine Releasing Coating
This study used novel methods to detect and map iodine concentrations in pig skin, finding iodine present in the coating, stratum corneum, and tissue around hair follicles.
research The effects of inositol in the female androgenetic alopecia: preliminary data
research Sequential estrogen-progestin addition to gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist suppression for the chronic treatment of ovarian hyperandrogenism: a pilot study.
This study concluded that a regimen of transdermal estradiol and oral medroxyprogesterone acetate effectively reduces hirsutism while minimizing side effects in women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Rheological Properties and Composition Affecting the Skin Permeation of a Model of a Hydrophilic Drug in Lecithin Reverse Wormlike Micelles
This study found that combining lecithin reverse wormlike micelles with isopropyl myristate enhanced the skin permeability of a model hydrophilic drug, facilitated by interactions with sebum in hair follicles.
research Solubilization and Solid‐State Characterization of a Poorly Soluble 5‐α Reductase Inhibitor
This study explored the solubility and crystal structure of GI197111X, a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor for androgenetic alopecia, finding its solubility in Capmul MCM suitable for a soft gel dosage form.
research ORLISTAT
This abstract provides information on various oral contraceptives, their potential hazardous interactions, and possible side effects, without presenting new research findings.
research Simultaneous spectrophotometric determination of finasteride and tadalafil in recently FDA approved Entadfi™ capsules
This study introduced and validated new spectrophotometric methods to simultaneously determine finasteride and tadalafil in Entadfi™ capsules with high sensitivity and without interference from excipients.
research Pharmakokinetik und Biokonversion von Dehydroepiandrosteron nach Dexamethason-Vorbehandlung bei Frauen mit dem Syndrom der polyzystischen Ovarien
This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.
research Study on Changes of 19 Steroids in Plasma From 9 Diagnosed Patients With P450 Oxidoreductase Deficiency
This study found that measuring specific steroid hormone levels can aid in diagnosing P450 oxidoreductase deficiency, a subtype of congenital adrenal hyperplasia, by distinguishing affected patients from healthy individuals.
