The method can measure multiple steroids in human hair to study long-term steroid metabolism, especially in newborns and children.

Researchers successfully made new compounds for hormone level tests, but one attempt led to an unexpected product, correcting a past error.

The document concludes that scalp disorders can be treated with hair washing, specific shampoos, medications, and sometimes surgery or hair transplants, but hereditary baldness is untreatable.

Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.

Lichen planus is a chronic autoimmune disease that is hard to treat and more common in women.

Hormones like estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, and prolactin play complex roles in female sexual function, with testosterone potentially improving sexual desire, arousal, and satisfaction. However, more research is needed to establish safe and effective hormone treatments for female sexual dysfunction.

Some alternative treatments for hair loss might work, but more research is needed.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Women with moderate body hair have higher levels of certain hormones and may benefit from treatment that increases sex hormone-binding protein.

5α-reductase inhibitors can cause sexual problems, higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and depression.

The chapter explains the causes of excessive hair growth and masculinization in women and how to measure hormone levels related to these conditions.

Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.

The enzyme PST is found in developing human kidneys and helps with detoxification and development.

Changing the C-ring structure in certain compounds can make them better at blocking a specific human enzyme.

The research shows that hydrogen bonds greatly affect the crystal structure of a Finasteride derivative.

Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.

Finasteride may affect fetal brain development and increase arousal, but more research is needed for safety confirmation.

Researchers found new potential but less potent rat enzyme inhibitors using a 3D model.

Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.

New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.

The document concludes that sex hormones are crucial for mammalian reproduction, health, and behavior, and require more research for therapeutic use.

Vitamin D receptor interacts with certain dietary components to help prevent diseases and regulate hair growth.

Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.

Gilles de la Tourette syndrome is treatable, with behavioral therapy as a recommended first option and other treatments available for more severe cases.

Cytochrome P-450 enzymes in the skin help break down various substances and could be targeted to treat skin conditions.

Smoking and drinking can lower vitamin levels and potentially trigger early hair loss, but overall vitamin levels don't seem to affect hair loss duration.

Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.

Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
