research The C3H/HeJ Mouse and DEBR Rat Models for Alopecia Areata: Review of Preclinical Drug Screening Approaches and Results
Both mouse and rat models are effective for testing alopecia areata treatments.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Cutaneous Findings and Systemic Associations in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have more body hair, acne, and skin darkening, and these signs are linked to metabolic issues like insulin resistance and high cholesterol.
research Decreased Androgen Receptor Gene Methylation in Premature Pubarche: A Novel Pathogenetic Mechanism?
Reduced AR gene methylation may cause early pubic hair growth in girls.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
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 A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Flutamide (250 mg/d) and Finasteride (5 mg/d) in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Flutamide reduces hair growth better but has more side effects.
research Gender Aspects in Skin Diseases
Men are more likely to get infectious skin diseases, while women are more prone to autoimmune and pigment-related skin conditions, influenced by biological and environmental factors.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Original Research—Endocrinology: Comparison of the Steady-State Pharmacokinetics, Metabolism, and Variability of a Transdermal Testosterone Patch Versus a Transdermal Testosterone Gel in Hypogonadal Men
The testosterone patch and gel are both effective, but they have different absorption patterns and effects on hormone levels.
research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana Tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research The Changes in the Hair Cycle During Gestation and the Post-Partum Period
Hair growth slows and shedding increases after childbirth, but most women don't experience excessive hair loss.
research Factors Associated With Female Pattern Hair Loss And Its Prevalence In Taiwanese Women: A Community-Based Survey
FPHL common in Taiwanese women; risk factors include BMI, high glucose, early puberty, fewer childbirths, oral contraceptives, and UV exposure.
research FOXN1 Deficient Nude Severe Combined Immunodeficiency
FOXN1 gene mutations cause a rare, severe immune disease treatable with cell or tissue transplants.
research Hedonic Sensitivity to Natural Rewards Is Affected by Prenatal Stress in a Sex-Dependent Manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research Development of Gene Therapy for Inner Ear Disease: Using Bilateral Vestibular Hypofunction as a Vehicle for Translational Research
Gene therapy, especially using atoh1, shows promise for creating functional sensory hair cells in the inner ear, but dosing and side effects need to be managed for clinical application.
research HaCaT Cell Proliferation Influenced by Melatonin
Melatonin affects skin cell growth differently based on how much and how long it's used.
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 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 Sex-Specific Difference of Hippocampal Synaptic Plasticity in Response to Sex Neurosteroids
Sex neurosteroids cause different effects on hippocampal synaptic plasticity in males and females.
research The Efficacy of Latanoprost in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata of Eyelashes and Eyebrows
Latanoprost, a glaucoma treatment, was found ineffective in treating hair loss in eyebrows and eyelashes.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Hirsutism, Postpartum Telogen Effluvium, and Male Pattern Alopecia
Hormonal changes during and after pregnancy can cause hair growth changes and hair loss, with treatments available for some conditions.
research Dynamic Trichoscopy: Advancements in Hair and Scalp Examination
Trichoscopy is useful for diagnosing and monitoring hair and scalp conditions over time.
research Comparative Proteomic Analysis in Scar-Free Skin Regeneration in Acomys Cahirinus and Scarring Mus Musculus
The African spiny mouse heals skin without scarring due to different protein activity compared to the common house mouse, which heals with scarring.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Microneedling Versus 5% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Patterned Hair Loss
Minoxidil works faster and is more cost-effective for treating hair loss, but platelet-rich plasma microneedling can be an alternative for those who can't use minoxidil.
