Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Profile of the Progesterone Derivative Chlormadinone Acetate: Pharmacodynamic Properties and Therapeutic Applications
Chlormadinone acetate is a strong, well-tolerated hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy with benefits for menstrual pain and skin conditions.
research Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inhibiting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production in Dermal Papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Premature Adrenarche: Early Maturation of Adrenal Glands in Children
Early adrenal gland maturation in young children can be normal, but other serious conditions should be ruled out first.
research Carriers of 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency Are Not at Increased Risk for Hyperandrogenism
People who carry the 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency gene are not more likely to have excessive male hormone levels.
research HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research What Does Acne Genetics Teach Us About Disease Pathogenesis?
Acne is significantly influenced by genetics, and understanding its genetic basis could lead to better, targeted treatments.
research Insulin Resistance and the Long-Term Consequences of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance in women with PCOS can lead to serious health issues, but lifestyle changes and certain medications can help manage symptoms.
