Scopolin and scopoletin from Merremia peltata leaves may help treat hair loss and showed promising results in rabbit tests.
research Testosterone Deficiency Is Not Protective Against the Development of Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate in a Type 1 Diabetic Patient
Low testosterone does not prevent prostate cancer in men with type 1 diabetes.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Structure-Activity Relationships of Novel Androgen Receptor Ligands with Multiple Substituents in the B-Ring
Certain changes to the B-ring of androgen receptor ligands can increase their effectiveness for potential treatments of muscle and bone conditions.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors in Dermatologic Treatments
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Therapeutic Androgen Receptor Ligands
Androgens and SARMs play a role in body mass, frailty, skin health, and hair growth, and are used in treating prostate cancer, acne, and hair loss, with potential for new uses and improved versions in the future.
research Approach to Androgen Excess in Women: Clinical and Biochemical Insights
The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors During Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague-Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Scalp Hair Regrowth in Hormone-Treated Transgender Woman
Hormone therapy with estradiol and spironolactone can regrow scalp hair in transgender women by lowering testosterone to female levels.
research Insulin Sensitivity, Androgens, and Isotretinoin Therapy in Women with Severe Acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Efficacy of Metformin Therapy in Adolescent Girls with Androgen Excess: Relation to Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin and Androgen Receptor Polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research The Effect of Alfacalcidiol and Metformin on Phenotype Manifestations in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome – A Preliminary Study
Alfacalcidiol and metformin together lowered testosterone in women with PCOS, but did not significantly improve acne, hair growth, or pregnancy rates.
research Treatment of Female Sexual Dysfunction in Postmenopausal Women: What Is the Evidence?
Hormonal changes and psychological issues can cause sexual dysfunction in postmenopausal women. Behavioral therapy is recommended first, with hormone replacement helping some symptoms but not libido. Testosterone can improve libido, but its effects on overall sexual function are unclear. Emotional and relationship issues should be addressed before using medication, and the benefits and risks of testosterone supplementation should be considered.
research Evaluation of Androgen-Dependent Skin Findings of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
The most common skin issues in females with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) are excessive hair growth, hair loss, oily skin, acne, dark skin patches, and skin tags, which may be linked to hormone and insulin levels.
research Sexual Dysfunction, Including Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder: Diagnosis and Treatment Recommendations
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual function in women but long-term safety is unclear.
research Hirsutism
Excessive hair growth in women, often from high androgen levels, is usually caused by PCOS, and can be treated with hair removal, medication, and possibly weight loss.
research Jagged1 and Epidermal Growth Factor Promoted Androgen-Suppressed Mouse Hair Growth In Vitro and In Vivo
Jagged1 and Epidermal Growth Factor together significantly increased hair growth in mice with androgen-suppressed hair.
