research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based In Vitro Metabolic Profiling Reveals Altered Enzyme Expressions in Eicosanoid Metabolism
The method reliably profiles eicosanoids and shows epitestosterone reduces their levels, similar to common anti-inflammatory drugs.
research Hormonal Profile of Men with Premature Balding
Men with early balding often have hormone levels similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Epitestosterone: Regulatory Roles in Androgen-Dependent Processes
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Optimization of LC Method for the Determination of Testosterone and Epitestosterone in Urine Samples for Biomedical and Anti-Doping Research
Researchers developed a reliable method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in urine for medical and anti-doping use.
research Testosterone and Doping Control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Finasteride Treatment of Premature Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss medication, was found to be safe and effective in improving hair quality and stopping hair loss in men with early-onset baldness.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Influence of Finasteride Treatment on Metabolic Profile of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Taking 1 mg finasteride for a year reduces dihydrotestosterone levels in men with early hair loss, but doesn't change their metabolic state.
research Hair Steroid Profiling Reveals Racial Differences in Male Pattern Baldness Between Korean and Caucasian Populations
Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.
research Serum Concentrations of Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulfate in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with male pattern baldness don't necessarily have high levels of Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate, and there's no link between its levels and the severity of hair loss.
research The Role of Mutations on Gene AR in Androgenetic Alopecia Syndrome
Mutations in the AR gene cause hair thinning and loss.
research Serial Hydrolysis for the Simultaneous Analysis of Catecholamines and Steroids in the Urine of Patients with Alopecia Areata
A new method was created to analyze certain chemicals in the urine of alopecia areata patients, revealing they have higher metanephrine content. This method can also be used for other related diseases.
research Hormonal and Genetic Etiology of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Clinical Aspects and Treatment
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research A Platform for Determining Medicinal Plants with Targeted 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Modulation for Possible Hair Loss Prevention
The conclusion is that new plant-based treatments for hair loss may work by targeting certain enzymes.
research Revisiting Hyper- and Hypo-Androgenism by Tandem Mass Spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Allopregnanolone Promotes Proliferation and Differential Gene Expression in Human Glioblastoma Cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research Does a Male Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Equivalent Exist?
Early onset baldness in men may indicate a condition similar to PCOS, linked to heart disease, diabetes, and prostate issues.
research Androgen Binding Profiles of Two Distinct Nuclear Androgen Receptors in Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias Undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Alterations in Pattern Baldness According to Sex: Hair Metabolomics Approach
Hair loss causes differ between men and women due to changes in hormone levels and inflammation-related pathways.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research A Long-Term Follow-Up Study of Men Born with Very Low Birth Weight and Their Reproductive Hormone Profile
Men born very underweight had higher estrogen levels but normal reproduction compared to normal birth weight men.
research Therapeutic Maintenance Effect of Finasteride 1 Mg Every Other Month Regimen in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Prospective Cohort Study
Taking finasteride every other month can still help with hair loss but may be less effective over time compared to taking it daily.
research Male Gonadal Function in Coeliac Disease: Sex Hormones
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Comparison of In Vitro Hair Growth Promotion and Anti-Hair Loss Potential of Thai Rice By-Product from Oryza Sativa L. Cv. Buebang 3 CMU and Sanpatong
