prednisone and Hirsutism

prednisone has been researched along with Hirsutism in 40 studies

Prednisone: A synthetic anti-inflammatory glucocorticoid derived from CORTISONE. It is biologically inert and converted to PREDNISOLONE in the liver.
prednisone : A synthetic glucocorticoid drug that is particularly effective as an immunosuppressant, and affects virtually all of the immune system. Prednisone is a prodrug that is converted by the liver into prednisolone (a beta-hydroxy group instead of the oxo group at position 11), which is the active drug and also a steroid.

Hirsutism: A condition observed in WOMEN and CHILDREN when there is excess coarse body hair of an adult male distribution pattern, such as facial and chest areas. It is the result of elevated ANDROGENS from the OVARIES, the ADRENAL GLANDS, or exogenous sources. The concept does not include HYPERTRICHOSIS, which is an androgen-independent excessive hair growth.

" It was concluded that: (1) androstenedione, testosterone, free testosterone index, and adrenal androgens alone or in combination play a role in the pathogenesis of the hirsutism observed in eumenorrheic women and in the amenorrhea and oligomenorrhea of both hirsute and nonhirsute women; (2) body weight correlated with adrenal adrogens (17-ketosteroids) in nonhirsute women and with androstenedione in hirsute women; (3) prednisone significantly suppressed androstenedione and 17-ketosteroids (p less than 0."3.66Role of androgens in menstrual disorders of nonhirsute and hirsute women, and the effect of glucocorticoid therapy on androgen levels in hirsute hyperandrogenic women.
