Prostaglandin F2α analogs, commonly prescribed for glaucoma treatment, have been shown to induce side effects such as cutaneous hypertrichosis and hyperpigmentation. Therefore, these medications have theoretic applications in the treatment of alopecia and disorders of hypopigmentation.

Abstract Background Melatonin (MEL) is a powerful antioxidant molecule with anti-androgenic property. A microemulsion (ME) system loaded MEL was designed for treatment of androgenic alopecia. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram constructed, and ME formulae were developed using coconut oil, Tween 80 PEG 400. In the present study, characterized evaluated droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potentia...

Cases of benign hepatoma, peliosis hepatis, primary hepatocellular carcinoma and hepatic cholangiocarcinoma have aIl been linked to the use of androgenic steroids, mostly oxymetholonel-13. At least 25 cases ofliver-cell tumour have been reported in patients with Fanconi's anaemial-6,11,12, aplastie anaemial,4,7,8, paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinurial,12,13, panmyelopathy9 or megaloblastic anae...

This syndrome is thought to have been originally described by Ullrich (1930) and Turner (1938), but Meyer (1925) and Baer (1927) have given earlier descriptions of cases of 'ovarian agenesis' presenting with androgenic manifestations. Grumbach, van Wyk and Wilkins (1955), in a thorough review of the subject, have proved the value of sex typing of nuclei in 22 cases, and by basing the same argum...

Male Procambarus clarkii were matched by size and largest claw length and observed interacting in pair matches before and after removal of the androgenic gland or a sham operation. Although results were not significant, trends suggested that males showed less aggression after the removal of the androgenic gland. Average bout duration did not decrease, but mean intensity of interaction decreased...
