research Pilosebaceous Unit: Structure, Function, and Disorders
Androgens and other hormones affect hair growth and skin conditions like acne.
research Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors in Dermatologic Treatments
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Comparison of Finasteride Versus Flutamide in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
research Becker's Nevus Associated with Chromosomal Mosaicism and Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
High androgen levels and genetic factors likely cause Becker's nevus and related symptoms.
research Local Heroes or Villains: Tissue-Resident Memory T Cells in Human Health and Disease
Tissue-resident memory T cells can protect against infections and cancer but may also contribute to autoimmune diseases.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.

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 Association of Insulin Resistance with Hyperandrogenism in Women
Insulin resistance is linked to high male hormone levels in women, often seen in those with PCOS.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: A New Hope in Dermatology?
Finasteride shows promise for treating hair loss and excessive hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
research Lack of Endocrine Systemic Side Effects After Topical Application of Spironolactone in Men
Topical spironolactone cream doesn't cause hormone-related side effects in the body.
research Clinical Efficacy of Topical or Oral Soy Supplementation in Dermatology: A Systematic Review
Soy supplements improve various skin conditions and aging signs, with topical use boosting skin barrier function.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Steroidogenesis of the Testis: New Genes and Pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Comparison of Flutamide and Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsutism: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Flutamide is more effective and has fewer side effects than spironolactone for treating hirsutism.
research Androgen Receptors And Their Biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
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 Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-Pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Androgen Role and Treatment Options
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Inhibitory Activities of Some Traditional Chinese Herbs Against Testosterone 5α-Reductase and Effects of Cacumen Platycladi on Hair Regrowth in Testosterone-Treated Mice
Certain Chinese herbs, especially Cacumen platycladi, can promote hair regrowth and reduce hair loss-related hormone levels in mice.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Serum C-19 Steroid Sulphates in Females with Clinical Hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
