research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Innovative Method for the Analysis of Dexpanthenol in Hair Care Products
New method quickly and accurately measures dexpanthenol in hair products.
research Association of childhood dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate concentration, pubertal development, and DNA methylation at puberty-related genes
Higher childhood DHEAS levels are linked to advanced puberty and DNA changes.
research A new label-free screen for steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Protective effect of DA-9401 in finasteride-induced apoptosis in rat testis: inositol requiring kinase 1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
DA-9401 can protect against finasteride-induced reproductive damage in rats.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Combination therapy with oral minoxidil and dutasteride in the treatment of male patterned baldness: A case report
Using oral minoxidil and dutasteride together can quickly increase hair growth and volume with minimal side effects.
research Segmental Hair Analysis for 11-Nor- 9-Tetrahydrocannabinol-9-Carboxylic Acid and the Patterns of Cannabis Use
THCCOOH levels in hair decrease from root to tip and don't match well with self-reported cannabis use.
research Corticosteroids for the treatment of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
Corticosteroids, especially prednisone, improve short-term muscle strength in Duchenne muscular dystrophy but have manageable side effects.
research Methodologic considerations in evaluating early clinical outcomes of GT20029 for androgenetic alopecia
GT20029 showed some hair growth improvement, but longer studies are needed for better results.
research The role of dexamethasone in mediating the contradictory effects of Wnt antagonists SFRP2 and SFRP3 on human hair follicle growth
Dexamethasone affects hair growth by altering levels of proteins that either promote or inhibit hair follicle growth.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Arterial Stiffening in Female Mice
Dihydrotestosterone increases arterial stiffness in female mice without changing blood pressure or aortic wall thickness.
research ASSESSING THE EFFECTIVENESS AND SAFETY OF LOW-DOSE ORAL MINOXIDIL IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA: A 24-WEEK CLINICAL STUDY
