Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Sex Steroid Synthesis in Human Skin In Situ: The Roles of Aromatase and Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein in the Homeostasis of Human Skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Androgen Regulation of a Specific Gene in Hamster Flank Organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Melanocyte and Gonad Activity as Potential Severity Modifying Factors in C3H/HeJ Mouse Alopecia Areata
Gonadal hormones significantly affect the severity of alopecia areata in mice.
research Analysis of Hair Steroid Hormone Concentrations at Different Parts of the Head by Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Hormone levels in hair vary across the head, with the highest concentration of a key hormone linked to hair loss at the top.
research Prolonged Use of Finasteride-Induced Gonadal Sex Steroids Alterations, DNA Damage, and Menstrual Bleeding in Women
Long-term use of finasteride in women can cause hormonal changes, DNA damage, and menstrual issues.
research A New Look at the 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research Adrenal Steroid Hormone Concentrations in Dogs with Hair Cycle Arrest (Alopecia X) Before and During Treatment with Melatonin and Mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Androgens
Male hormones and their interactions are crucial for male sexual development and characteristics.
research Recent Advances in the Molecular Mechanisms Causing Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance
Mutations in the NR3C1 gene cause a rare condition that affects hormone signaling and can lead to various symptoms, with dexamethasone as a treatment option.
research Cholesterol Homeostasis: Links to Hair Follicle Biology and Hair Disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
