PRP Therapy - Non Surgical Hair Loss Treatment for Men and Women - 0 views

  •  
    PRP Therapy or Platelet Rich Plasma Therapy is an effective non-surgical hair loss treatment for men and women. PRP Therapy makes efficient utilization of a growth enhancing blood constituent called platelets, which when combined together with plasma, results in an unprecedented increase in the hair follicles across the treated areas.

  • SaT seems to relate to the bioavailable fraction of the hormone and, thus, appears to be an optimal method for studying hirsute women
  •  
    salivary testing proves to be realiable testing to evaluate correlation between degree of hair growth and testosterone levels

Spectrum of metabolic dysfunction in relationship with hyperandrogenemia in obese adole... - 0 views

  • subjects with hyperandrogenemic phenotypes displayed the greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, β-cell function, and chronic inflammation
  • The rise in serum androgens is accompanied by excess insulin secretion, suggesting that insulin directly stimulates ovarian androgen production
  • The degree of hyperinsulinemia does not seem to be directly correlated with the development of HS

  • higher androgen and insulin levels stimulate hair growth
  • genetic and epigenetic changes may be involved in the pathogenesis of PCOS
  • HA has been identified as an important risk factor for MS and dyslipidemias in premenopausal women and adolescents
  • In our study, HA was found to be an independent risk factor for MS as previously reported by Coviello et al.
  • obesity and HA, and not insulin resistance, are the major determinants of chronic inflammation and risk of atherosclerosis in adolescents with PCOS
  • use of an inflammation marker may help identify high-risk females with PCOS
  • hyperandrogenemic PCOS phenotypes have greatest degree of hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and inflammation
  •  
    Elevated androgens are associated increasing insulin, insulin resistance, and inflammation (as measured by CRP).

The implication of neuroactive steroids in Tourette syndrome pathogenesis: a ... - 0 views

  • The typical onset of TS occurs at 6–7 years of age and is characterized by the appearance of simple, recurrent motor tics, followed by the manifestation of phonic tics after several months [12]. In most children, TS symptoms undergo a progressive exacerbation, which reaches its zenith at the beginning of puberty (11–12 years of age), and is then followed by a gradual remission in the majority of patients
  • 30–40% of TS-affected children retain their symptoms in adulthood
  • Multiple neurotransmitters have been implicated in TS, including dopamine (DA), serotonin, norepinephrine, acetylcholine, glutamate and γ-amino-butyric acid (GABA)

  • female gender may predict greater tic severity in adulthood
  • male gender is a major risk factor for TS (with a male:female prevalence ratio estimated at ~4:1)
  • the typical age of onset coincides with adrenarche (6–7 years old); symptoms increase in severity until the beginning of puberty (12 years old) and then undergo a spontaneous amelioration, which becomes apparent with the end of puberty (at 18–19 years of age)
  • TS is diagnosed later in females than males
  • ample evidence supports the involvement of DAergic dysfunctions in TS
  • a number of clinical observations showed that tics in TS patients could be exacerbated by anabolic androgens
  • steroidogenic enzymes and androgen receptors may serve as putative therapeutic targets for this disorder
  • Unlike males, tic severity is typically increased after puberty in females
  • 26% of females were found to experience exacerbation of tics in the estrogenic phase of the menstrual cycle, and this phenomenon was found to be correlated with increased tic severity at menarche
  • biochemical hallmark of adrenarche is the acquisition of 17,20 lyase activity by cytochrome P450 C17 (CYP17A1)
  • increased synthesis of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and androstenedione, which leads to the growth of axillary and pubic hair as well as enhancement in the oiliness of the skin

    interesting read on hormones and tourette's.. Proposed that 5 alpha reductase activity is involved in worsening of tics.  This makes sense as Testosterone in men with low T is known to increase dopamine and dopaminergic dysfunction is known to play a role in tourette's;  the clinical presentation of girls vs boys is very different.  The authors of this article propose that 5 alpha reductase activity controls a back door method where by progesterone is converted to androgens.
