research Liver Transplantation for Propionic Acidemia in Children
Liver transplantation is a viable option for children with propionic acidemia, improving quality of life and diet, but does not remove all risks and long-term brain outcomes are uncertain.
research Biotin-Responsive Alopecia and Developmental Regression
Biotin treatment can significantly improve hair loss and motor functions in certain metabolic disorders.
research Potential Adverse Effects of Long-Term Testosterone Therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Estrogen Functions in Skin and Skin Appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research The Effect of Finasteride, a 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor, on Scalp Skin Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Patients with Male Pattern Baldness
Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.
research C19 and C21 5β/5α Metabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency
