research A Teenage Girl with Unexpected Pubertal Changes
The girl's unexpected pubic hair growth led to a diagnosis different from complete androgen insensitivity syndrome.
research Comparative Efficacy of Topical Finasteride (0.25%) in Combination With Minoxidil (5%) Against 5% Minoxidil or 0.25% Finasteride Alone in Male Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot, Randomized Open-Label Study
Using both minoxidil and finasteride together is more effective for male hair loss than using either one alone.
research Hormonal and Genetic Etiology of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
research Visually Scoring Hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research Evaluation of Long-Term Efficacy of Finasteride in Korean Men with Androgenetic Alopecia Using the Basic and Specific Classification System
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss in Korean men for at least 5 years, with V type responding better.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Expression of mRNA for Androgen Receptor, 5α-Reductase, and 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research 5α-Reduced Glucocorticoids: A Story of Natural Selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
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 Menstrual Disorders in Adolescents
The document concludes that early recognition and treatment of PCOS in adolescents is crucial for managing symptoms and long-term health risks.
research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Hormonal Therapy in Dermatology
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Androgen Receptor-Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Androgenetic Alopecia – Current Status
The document discusses male and female pattern hair loss, its diagnosis methods, FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, their side effects, and the role of lifestyle changes.
research The Association of Urolithiasis and Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss linked to kidney stones in people under 60.
research Association of Androgenetic Alopecia with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Case Control Study
Hair loss linked to prostate enlargement; stress and family history important factors.
research Pharmacology of Anti-Androgens in the Skin
Anti-androgens can help reduce the effects of male hormones on the skin.
research The Enzyme and Inhibitors of 4-Ene-3-Oxosteroid 5α-Oxidoreductase
Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.
research Alopecias
The document discussed hair loss causes and treatments but didn't give a final summary.
research Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase: Role in Hair Loss and Prostate Health
Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase play a role in hair loss and prostate health, and finasteride can increase hair growth in men without affecting sperm production, but it doesn't work for postmenopausal women with hair loss.
research Induction of Hair Growth in Hair Follicle Cells and Organ Cultures Upon Treatment with 30 kHz Frequency Inaudible Sound via Cell Proliferation and Antiapoptotic Effects
Inaudible sound at 30 kHz can boost hair growth and decrease hair loss by promoting cell growth and reducing cell death in hair follicles.
research Androgen Biosynthetic Pathways in the Human Prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome – Does It Really Exist?
Post-finasteride syndrome's existence is uncertain; more research needed.
research Regulation of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase in the Skin of Normal and Hirsute Women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Deficiency in a Saudi Girl
A Saudi individual initially identified as a girl had a genetic disorder affecting gender development.
research The Hair Growth Promoting Effect of Sophora Flavescens Extract and Its Molecular Regulation
Sophora flavescens extract may help hair grow by affecting growth factors and blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Curcumin Derivatives Inhibit Testicular 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
