research Clinical and Biological Impact of the Exposome on the Skin
Environmental factors, hormones, nutrition, and stress all significantly affect skin health and aging.
research Established Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease Are Unrelated to Androgen-Induced Baldness in Female-to-Male Transsexuals
Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.
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 Hidradenitis Suppurativa/Acne Inversa: An Endocrine Skin Disorder?
Hidradenitis suppurativa may be related to hormones and patients often have metabolic disorders; more research is needed to understand this connection.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research The Endocrine System and Hair Growth in the Rat
Male rats grow hair faster than females, and certain hormones can slow or slightly increase hair growth, but not significantly beyond natural rates.
research Testosterone Therapy in Men: Clinical and Pharmacological Perspectives
Testosterone therapy aims to treat hormone deficiencies and various conditions safely and effectively, but requires careful patient monitoring due to potential side effects.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research The Biology of Hair Growth
Hair growth is influenced by hormones and goes through different phases; androgens can both promote and inhibit hair growth depending on the body area.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research Effect of Flutamide and Two Novel Synthetic Steroids on GABA, Glutamine, and Some Oxidative Stress Markers in Rat Brain and Prostate
Flutamide and a new synthetic steroid affected brain and prostate chemicals and showed potential for treating androgen-related conditions and epilepsy.
research Significant Effects of Mild Endogenous Hormonal Changes in Humans: Considerations for Low-Dose Testing
Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.
research Scalp Sebaceous Physiology
The document concludes that scalp health is influenced by complex factors affecting sebaceous glands, including hormones, aging, and various substances.
research Hormonal Regulation and Systemic Signals of Skin Aging
Hormones affect skin aging, and treatments targeting hormonal balance may improve skin health.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Alterations in Androgen Conjugate Levels in Women and Men with Alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Close Correlation Between Hyperandrogenism and Insulin Resistance in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Based on Liquid Chromatography With Tandem Mass Spectrometry Measurements
Women with PCOS who have high male hormone levels often also have insulin resistance.
research A Case of Severe Hyperandrogenism, Acanthosis Nigricans, and Overt Diabetes: The Use of Non-Invasive Methods for Diagnosis, Pathogenesis, and Management
Non-invasive imaging helped diagnose a woman's severe hormone imbalance and diabetes, and medication successfully treated her condition.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Criteria for the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Complete Task Force Report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Understanding PCOS and Its Endocrinology
The conclusion is that PCOS is caused by ovarian sensitivity to hormones and disrupted hormone control, possibly due to ovarian factors, and more research is needed.
research Targeting Neurosteroid Synthesis as a Therapy for Schizophrenia-Related Alterations Induced by Early Psychosocial Stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in Males
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Acne and Hirsutism in Teenagers
Acne and increased body hair in teenage girls are normal but severe cases may need hormone evaluation and treatment can prevent diabetes linked to PCO.
research Interaction Between Estrogens and Androgen Receptor Genes Microsatellites, Prostate-Specific Antigen, and Androgen Receptor Expressions in Breast Cancer
Certain gene patterns in breast cancer are linked to how active hormone receptors are and could affect patient survival.
research Copper Deficiency: A New Reason for Androgenetic Alopecia?
Copper deficiency may cause hair loss, and treating it could involve nutrition and hormones.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Stromal Cells of the Human Postmenopausal Ovary Display a Distinctive Biochemical and Molecular Phenotype
Postmenopausal ovary stromal cells have a unique makeup and limited steroid production, suggesting androgens come from the adrenal gland.
