This study found that finasteride treatment significantly reduced hirsutism scores in women with idiopathic hirsutism over 6 months and was well tolerated.

This study found that both finasteride and flutamide effectively reduced hirsutism, with flutamide being more effective than finasteride in decreasing hirsutism scores and hair diameter over 12 months.

This study found that formulating raloxifene in nano-lipid carriers significantly enhanced its permeation and cytotoxicity against cancer cells compared to raw raloxifene.

This study found that minoxidil absorption through the skin increased with longer contact times, reaching over 75% of the maximum absorption within four hours.

This document studied minoxidil in healthy volunteers. Minoxidil is quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body.

This study found that a low-dose intermittent finasteride regimen significantly reduced hirsutism scores in adolescent girls with PCOS or idiopathic hirsutism, with similar efficacy but potentially safer and less expensive than continuous administration.

This study found that three months of oral finasteride treatment significantly decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and hair growth in hirsute women without negatively affecting gonadotropin secretion.

Testosterone therapy can help improve mood, sexual function, and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed to establish safe and effective guidelines.

This review discusses treatments for female acne, highlighting the effectiveness of low-dose oral contraceptives and noting their similar side effects to placebo; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that serum PSA levels are higher in hirsute women and can be significantly reduced by antiandrogen treatment, suggesting PSA as a marker of androgen action in females.

This study found that during the Covid-19 lockdown, the percentage of abstinent and low-risk alcohol drinkers increased while moderate and chronic drinking decreased compared to the previous four years.

This study used a newly validated method to find that one-year finasteride treatment resulted in no significant differences in urinary androgen and prostaglandin levels between male pattern baldness patients and normal controls.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher total PSA levels than controls, and the total PSA level correlates positively with testosterone and free androgen index.

This review discusses idiopathic hirsutism and suggests that combination treatment, including androgen suppression and cosmetic methods, is most effective, but notes that its pathogenesis remains unclear.

This review explores the pharmacological effects of Glycyrrhiza glabra, or liquorice, highlighting its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antiviral properties, but reports no new experimental results.

This article reviews the mechanisms and uses of minoxidil for hypertension and androgenetic alopecia, without presenting new clinical findings.

This study found that women with PCOS displayed significantly higher activity of 5alpha-reductase, suggesting an additional role for liver and peripheral tissues in their androgen excess.

This study found that women with PCOS have higher activity of the enzyme 5alpha-reductase, which may contribute to their elevated androgen levels.

Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.

Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.

This review summarizes current knowledge on the diagnosis and treatment of hirsutism but provides no new clinical results.

This article discusses the preparation of tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites and reports no new experimental findings.

This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

A new method can almost perfectly distinguish adenomyosis from similar conditions using blood tests.

Flutamide worked better than finasteride for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but had more side effects.

This review discusses the role of DHEA in intracrinology, highlighting its impact on breast and prostate cancer treatment and potential as a menopause therapy, but reports no new research findings.

Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.

This study describes the enzymatic processes through which DHEA is converted to active sex steroids in human skin, highlighting an androgenic effect on sebaceous glands and estrogenic effects in the vagina.

In this study, 50 mg/day of DHEA supplementation in postmenopausal women did not significantly improve sexual function compared to a placebo over 26 weeks.

This study found that taking a daily oral dose of 50mg DHEA for one year had no significant impact on blood lipids, insulin sensitivity, or the endometrium in postmenopausal women with low libido.
