research Metabolism and Skin Diseases
Skin health and diseases are closely linked to metabolic processes.
research Sex Steroid Synthesis in Human Skin In Situ: The Roles of Aromatase and Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein in the Homeostasis of Human Skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Effects of Natural Products on Skin Inflammation Caused by Abnormal Hormones Secreted by the Adrenal Gland
Natural products may help treat skin inflammation from abnormal adrenal hormones.
research Endocrinologic Aspects of Hidradenitis Suppurativa
Hormones might affect the skin condition hidradenitis suppurativa, but their exact role is unclear.
research Is Dehydroepiandrosterone a Hormone?
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is a prohormone important for producing sex steroids and has potential health benefits.
research Cholesterol Homeostasis: Links to Hair Follicle Biology and Hair Disorders
Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.
research Menopause and Its Effects on Skin and Hair
Menopause causes skin and hair to become drier and thinner, but hormone therapy can improve these conditions.
research Expression and Roles of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory (StAR) Protein in Non-Classical, Extra-Adrenal, and Extra-Gonadal Cells and Tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Is There a Role for Antiandrogen Therapy for Hidradenitis Suppurativa? A Systematic Review of Published Data
Antiandrogen therapy for hidradenitis suppurativa lacks strong evidence and needs more research.
research Novel Insights Into the Pathways Regulating the Canine Hair Cycle and Their Deregulation in Alopecia X
The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
research Efficacy and Mechanism of Topical Shen Bai Hair Growing Decoction Against Androgenetic Alopecia
The Shen Bai Hair Growing Decoction may help treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and reducing inflammation.
research Quantification of Reproductive Hormones in Hair of Captive Adult Brown Bears and Their Application as Indicators of Sex and Reproductive State
Measuring reproductive hormones in brown bear hair could help identify their sex and reproductive state, but better collection methods or lab techniques are needed.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Lack of Significant Association Between Sex Hormone Concentrations and Atopic Dermatitis in Adolescents and Adults in Two Population-Based Studies
Sex hormones likely don't affect atopic dermatitis in adolescents and adults.
research Topical Effect of Minoxidil Containing Lotion on Morphofunctional Indicators of Male Rats’ Reproductive System
Minoxidil lotion may harm male reproductive health.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research The Mineralocorticoid Receptor as a Novel Player in Skin Biology: Beyond the Renal Horizon?
The mineralocorticoid receptor may play a role in skin and hair health and could be a new target for treating related disorders.
research Sebaceous Immunobiology: Skin Homeostasis, Innate Immunity Coordination, Inflammatory Response, and Disease Associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Skin Connective Tissue and Aging
