Stress and hormonal changes also contribute to acne. Cortisol and other adrenal steroids can act as androgens (male hormones) and stimulate the sebaceous (oil) glands resulting in a flare-up of acne. We know that acne forms when oily secretions from the sebaceous glands beneath the skin plug ...
The skin, especially the pilo-sebaceous unit, could be seen as an endocrine organ, being a target for hormones, synthesizing hormonal substances and expressing diverse hormone receptors. Recently, neurogenic factors were considered involved in the acne pathogenesis. The effects of neuropeptides on the...
Among the patients with PCOS, 93, 19, and 49 of them presented with abnormal menstrual cycles, hirsutism, and acne, respectively; and the clinical, endocrine, and metabolic characteristics did not significantly differ between the PCOS-T and PCOS-C groups (P > 0.05). The values for ...

If you already are dealing with underlying hormonal or immune issues causing hair loss, stress can quickly make those worse in addition to its direct impact on hair loss just mentioned. Yikes right? Low Estrogen Stress is well known for disrupting female hormone balance. Typically progesterone will...
A study in women with polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) showed that low-AGE meals in combination with six-month treatment with orlistat (a lipase inhibitor) led to a significant improvement of their hormonal profile and body mass index (BMI) [60]. Taken together, increasing evidence ...
Moreover, prolonged and excessive use of potent topical GCs may contribute to short-term hormonal changes in the central HPA axis [95]. The main endogenous GC found in humans is cortisol, which is produced by the adrenal cortex of the central HPA axis and keratinocytes of the peripheral ...
Overall, ER stress is a general mechanism in energy homeostasis dysregulation, both at the sites of production of hormones and at the sites of reception of the hormonal signal, for leptin as well as insulin. Altogether, it has been largely proved that ER stress plays a role in the main ...
Transcription profiles of genes related to hormonal regulations under salt stress in sweet sorghum. Plant Mol. Biol. Rep. 2017, 35, 586–599. [CrossRef] 171. Zhang, L.; Zhang, X.; Fan, S. Meta-analysis of salt-related gene expression profiles identifies common signatures of salt stress ...
Primary treatment of advanced-stage ovarian cancer typically involves debulking surgery followed by platinum and taxane-based chemotherapy or in some cases, hormonal therapy [43]. Intraperitoneal treatments provide the opportunity to realize a multi-fold increase in local drug concentration compared to ...
