Finasteride and flutamide effectively reduce hirsutism in PCOS women, with flutamide also lowering hormone levels.
research The Metabolic Syndrome-Associated Small G Protein ARL15 Plays a Role in Adipocyte Differentiation and Adiponectin Secretion
ARL15 is important for fat cell development and the release of the hormone adiponectin.
research 5α-Reductase Isozymes and Aromatase mRNA Levels in Plucked Hair from Young Women with Female Pattern Hair Loss
Higher enzyme levels found in women with hair loss, suggesting hormone imbalance.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Adolescents
The document concludes that diagnosing PCOS in teenagers is difficult and should focus on specific hormone levels and menstrual irregularities, while also considering treatment for symptoms and related health issues.
research Impact of Testosterone on Hair and Skin
Testosterone can cause acne and male-pattern baldness, affects hair growth in men and women, and makes male skin more sensitive.
research Hormonal and Clinical Evaluation of Patients with Moderate Body Hair Growth
Women with moderate body hair have higher levels of certain hormones and may benefit from treatment that increases sex hormone-binding protein.
research Role of Environmental Factors and Gonadotoxin Exposure in Unexplained Male Infertility
Environmental factors and exposure to toxins may contribute to male infertility by affecting sperm and hormone function.
research Probing Androgen Receptor Co-Factor Selectivity Profiles: A Chemical Tool to Determine Cross-Talk Between Androgen Receptor and Beta-Catenin In Vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
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 Contemporary Medical Therapy for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
New treatments for PCOS focus on insulin resistance and reducing testosterone levels, along with traditional hormone therapies.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Antiandrogen Drugs Lower Serum Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels in Hirsute Subjects: Evidence That Serum PSA Is a Marker of Androgen Action in Women
Antiandrogen drugs can reduce PSA levels in women with excess hair, suggesting PSA is a sign of male hormone activity in women.
research Minoxidil and Male-Pattern Alopecia: A Potential Role for a Local Regulator of Sebum Secretion with Vasoconstrictive Effects?
Minoxidil, a common hair loss treatment, might work by counteracting a hormone that reduces hair growth and promotes hair loss.
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 Pegylated Liposomal Doxorubicin: Metamorphosis of an Old Drug into a New Form of Chemotherapy
Doxil is an effective, modified chemotherapy drug with a unique toxicity profile and shows promise in treating certain cancers.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia Due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Revisited: An Update with a Special Focus on Adolescent and Adult Women
The update highlights that non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia is common in women with excess male hormones, requires specific hormone tests for diagnosis, and has various treatment options depending on age and symptoms.
research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
research Endocrinological Evaluation and Hormonal Therapy for Women with Difficult Acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
research Endocrine Aspects of Female Sexual Dysfunction
Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.
research Potential Health Benefits of Dates Based on Human Intervention Studies: A Brief Overview
Dates may improve heart health, fight infections, protect kidneys, reduce inflammation, support pregnancy, promote dental and bone health, enhance mental function, and have anti-cancer properties, and are also beneficial for skin and hair care.
research Androgens Trigger Different Growth Responses in Genetically Identical Human Hair Follicles in Organ Culture Reflecting Their Epigenetic Diversity in Life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
research Menstrual Disorders: Comprehensive Overview and Diagnostic Approaches
The document says menstruation is important for women's health, discusses menstrual disorders, and suggests personalized treatment options.
