Pregnancy can cause skin pigmentation, stretch marks, and changes in hair, nails, and sweat glands, with most resolving after birth.
research Male Pattern Alopecia: A Histopathologic and Histochemical Study
Male pattern baldness involves smaller hair follicles, larger oil glands, and other tissue changes, but not major blood supply issues.
research Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Pilosebaceous Physiology in Relation to Hirsutism and Acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research C/EBPα and C/EBPβ Are Required for Sebocyte Differentiation and Stratified Squamous Differentiation in Adult Mouse Skin
C/EBPalpha and C/EBPbeta are crucial for normal skin and oil gland cell development in adult mice.
research Strategic Targets in Acne: The Comedone Switch in Question
The best way to treat acne is to prevent healthy skin glands from turning into acne lesions by controlling the triggers early on.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Etiology of Cicatricial Alopecias: A Basic Science Point of View
Cicatricial alopecia may be caused by immune attacks on hair follicles, gland issues, or stem cell damage.
research A Hypothetical Pathogenesis Model for Androgenic Alopecia: Clarifying the Dihydrotestosterone Paradox and Rate-Limiting Recovery Factors
The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Mice Lacking the Epidermal Retinol Dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 Display Accelerated Hair Growth and Enlarged Meibomian Glands
Mice without certain skin enzymes have faster hair growth and bigger eye glands.
research Effects of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids on the Pilosebaceous Unit
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin issues like acne and oily skin by enlarging oil glands and changing skin oils.
research Clinical Presentations of Alopecia Areata
Alopecia areata causes varying hair loss patterns, affecting hair, nails, and possibly glands, with treatment outcomes depending on disease duration and extent.
research Androgenic Effect of Testosterone and Its Metabolites in Relation to Their Biotransformation in the Skin
Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.
research Morphological and Morphometric Study of the Androgenetic Alopecic Scalp Using Two- and Three-Dimensional Analysis Comparing Regional Differences
The study found that balding scalps have more thin hairs and larger oil glands, which might contribute to skin conditions related to hair loss.
research The Multipotency of Adult Vibrissa Follicle Stem Cells
Adult vibrissa follicle stem cells can regenerate hair follicles, glands, and skin.
research Hairless Controls Hair Fate Decision via Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
The Hairless gene is crucial for hair cell development, affecting whether skin cells become hair or skin and oil gland cells.
research Aberrant Wnt Signaling Induces Comedo-Like Changes in the Murine Upper Hair Follicle
Overactive Wnt signaling in mouse skin stem cells causes acne-like cysts and shrinking oil glands, which some treatments can partially fix.
research The Effect of Intracutaneous Injections of Micronized Crystalline Suspensions of Nandrolone Phenylpropionate in the Skin of Female Hairless Hamsters
Nandrolone phenylpropionate injections thickened the skin and enlarged oil glands in female hairless hamsters.
research Folliculosebaceous Cystic Hamartoma With Spindle Cell Lipomatous And Neural Components
A woman had a unique skin growth with hair follicle, oil glands, fat cells, spindle cells, and nerve fibers.
research Sdr16c5 and Sdr16c6 Control a Dormant Pathway at a Bifurcation Point Between Meibogenesis and Sebogenesis
Sdr16c5 and Sdr16c6 genes regulate a key point in lipid production that affects eye and skin gland function.
research Case 22
The dog had sebaceous adenitis, treated with ciclosporin, leading to some hair regrowth.
research Nicotinic Acid Suppresses Sebaceous Lipid Synthesis of Human Sebocytes via Activating Hydroxycarboxylic Acid Receptor 2 (HCA2)
Nicotinic acid reduces excessive oil production in skin cells by activating a specific receptor, which could help treat acne.
research Cutaneous Tumors of Pilar Origin with Associated Syndromes
Some skin tumors from hair follicles and glands can be linked to genetic syndromes and may be benign or malignant.
