research The Need and Management of Hormone Imbalances in Women
The document highlights the prevalence and management of hormonal imbalances in women, which occur during various life stages such as puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, and post-menopause. Symptoms include irregular periods, hair loss, and mental health issues. It emphasizes the importance of maintaining balanced hormone levels for overall well-being, suggesting natural remedies like exercise and stress reduction. Hormone therapy (HT) is recommended for those unable to achieve balance naturally, as it can alleviate symptoms like hot flashes and reduce risks of chronic conditions. The document includes case reports on hormone imbalances, such as precocious and delayed puberty, PCOS, and menopausal symptoms, demonstrating the need for tailored hormone treatments. It also discusses lifestyle changes to naturally balance hormones and the role of primary care physicians in managing these imbalances.

research Ovarian Intratumoral 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency in a Postmenopausal Hirsute Woman
A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Decoding The Role Of OsPRX83 In Enhancing Osmotic Stress Tolerance In Rice Through ABA-Dependent Pathways And ROS Scavenging
OsPRX83 helps rice survive stress by improving stress response and antioxidant activity.
research Cloning, Computational Analysis and Expression Profiling of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase 1 (SRD5A1) Gene During Reproductive Phases and Ovatide Stimulation in Endangered Catfish, Clarias Magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research The Molecular Link Between Auxin and ROS-Mediated Polar Root Hair Growth
Plant root hair growth is controlled by the hormone auxin, which affects the production of certain oxygen-related molecules through a specific process.
research Mechanism of Action of Avicennia Marina Heartwood Extract and Avicequinone C on Human Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated from Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research The Relationship Between the Expression of Cytokeratin 5/6 and Clinicopathologic Factors in Invasive Breast Carcinoma
