research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Neuroendocrinology of the Hair Follicle: Principles and Clinical Perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research Treatment of Hirsutism with 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Hirsutism II: Treatment
The document concludes that various cosmetic and drug treatments are available for hirsutism, and some new drugs show promise.

research Distribution of 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D3[22-Oxa] In Vivo Receptor Binding in Adult and Developing Skin
OCT binds strongly to hair sheath cells and may affect skin and hair growth with fewer side effects than vitamin D3.
research Polymorphisms in Androgen and Estrogen Receptor Genes: Effects on Male Aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Impact of One-Week Administration of Dihydrotestosterone in Rat Anterior Pituitary Gland
Dihydrotestosterone changes some hormone-related gene expressions in rat pituitary glands but doesn't affect the estrous cycle.
research Topical and Nutricosmetic Products for Healthy Hair and Dermal Anti-Aging Using Dual-Acting Plant-Based Peptides, Hormones, and Cannabinoids
Plant-based products can improve hair and skin health without harmful side effects.
research Fetal Alpha 5-Reductase Val89Leu Mutation Is Associated With Late Miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research Recent Advances in Neuropeptide-Related Omics and Gene Editing: Spotlight on NPY and Somatostatin and Their Roles in Growth and Food Intake of Fish
New tools show that in fish, NPY increases feeding and somatostatin decreases it.
research Sex Hormones in SARS-CoV-2 Susceptibility: Key Players or Confounders?
Sex hormones' effects on COVID-19 are unclear and more research is needed to understand their potential as treatment.
research Cannabinoid Compounds as a Pharmacotherapeutic Option for the Treatment of Non-Cancer Skin Diseases
Cannabinoids like CBD and THC may help treat non-cancer skin diseases, but more research is needed.
research The Human Skin as a Hormone Target and an Endocrine Gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Impact of Estrogens in Males and Androgens in Females
Both estrogens and androgens are important for health in both males and females.
research Active Anti-Alopecia Chemical Identification of Merremia Peltata Leaves and Computational Study Toward Androgen Receptor Using Molecular Docking and Molecular Dynamic Simulation
Merremia peltata leaf extract, particularly the bufotalinin compound, shows potential for treating hair loss.
research 17β-Estradiol Inhibits the Production of RANTES in Human Keratinocytes
17β-estradiol can reduce inflammation in the skin.
research The Rationale for Physiological Testosterone Replacement in Women
Testosterone replacement may help post-menopausal women with androgen insufficiency, but more research is needed on its benefits and risks.
research The Effect of Menopause on the Skin and Other Connective Tissues
Menopause significantly reduces skin collagen, leading to thinner, less elastic skin, and hormone replacement may help but requires careful consideration.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Mutants Demonstrate Increased Motility Inside the Nucleus of Living Cells: Time of Fluorescence Recovery After Photobleaching Is an Integrated Measure of Receptor Function
Certain defective glucocorticoid receptor mutants move faster inside cell nuclei and work less effectively.
research Cyproterone Acetate: A Genotoxic Carcinogen?
Cyproterone acetate may cause liver cancer at high doses, but is considered safe at recommended doses for approved uses.
research Pharmacology of Different Progestogens: The Special Case of Drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Prolactin Delays Hair Regrowth in Mice
