research The Role of Hormones in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: A Systematic Review
Hormone imbalance is linked to Hidradenitis Suppurativa, a skin condition, and treatments like anti-androgenic therapy and metformin can help. It's also suggested to check patients for insulin resistance and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome.
research Increased risk of alopecia areata in patients with autism spectrum disorders: A Korean nationwide population-based study
People with autism are more likely to develop alopecia areata than those without autism.
research Unraveling Translational Insights into Systemic Multi-Organ Toxicity of Cytosine Arabinoside (Ara-C): A Systematic Review of Preclinical Animal Evidence
Cytarabine can cause multiple organ toxicities, especially neurotoxicity, but better research methods are needed to fully understand and predict these effects.
research Androgen effects on the skin
Androgens like testosterone affect skin health and can lead to conditions such as acne and hair loss, with various treatments available.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

5 / 656 resultscommunity Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
community Opinions on Scalp fibrosis and DHT?
The conversation discusses the theory that scalp fibrosis contributes to male pattern baldness (MPB) by increasing DHT concentration, and mentions treatments like Minoxidil. The user seeks opinions on the theory and the effectiveness of scalp massages.
community Finasteride and Its Effects on Cognition: Where's the Science?
The user shared their experience with hair loss treatments, including low-dose minoxidil, finasteride, and essential oils, and expressed concerns about the cognitive side effects of finasteride. They are seeking more information on how finasteride may affect cognition and are considering whether to continue or stop the treatment.
community How ET-02 Works. Also no proof that it's better than Minoxidil. At least for now.
ET-02, a PAI-1 inhibitor, is not proven to be more effective than Minoxidil for hair loss. Other treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, PP405, and AMP-303 are also discussed, focusing on cellular senescence and oxidative stress.
