Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Metabolic dysfunction in obese Hispanic women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Obese Hispanic women with PCOS are at higher risk for metabolic problems than non-Hispanic white women.
research Retinal artery occlusion as a probable idiosyncratic reaction to topical minoxidil: a case report
Using minoxidil for hair loss might cause sudden vision loss, so use it with caution and monitor closely.
research Genetics of infertility and “assisted fertilization” in the Bible: The case of Abraham and his family
Abraham's family infertility may have a genetic explanation.
research Unraveling the mechanism of action of cepharanthine for the treatment of novel coronavirus pneumonia (COVID-19) from the perspectives of systematic pharmacology
Cepharanthine may help treat COVID-19 by targeting multiple pathways.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Minoxidil Induction of VEGF Is Mediated by Inhibition of HIF-Prolyl Hydroxylase
Minoxidil boosts hair growth by increasing blood flow and nutrients to hair follicles.
research Minoxidil Cannot Be Used To Target Lysyl Hydroxylases during Postnatal Mouse Lung Development: A Cautionary Note
Minoxidil does not work to inhibit lysyl hydroxylases in newborn mouse lungs.
research 2,3,7,8-Tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin Increases the Expression of Genes in the Human Epidermal Differentiation Complex and Accelerates Epidermal Barrier Formation
TCDD speeds up skin barrier formation by increasing certain gene expressions.
research Suppression of fibroblast proliferation and lysyl hydroxylase activity by minoxidil.
Minoxidil slows fibroblast growth and collagen production, potentially treating keloids, hypertrophic scars, and connective tissue disorders.
research Differential activity of 2-methylene-19-nor vitamin D analogs on growth factor gene expression in rhino mouse skin and comparison to all-trans retinoic acid
Some vitamin D analogs can thicken skin and reduce pore size like a common acne treatment, with one analog also affecting skin growth factors.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research TON1 recruiting motif 21 positively regulates the flavonoid metabolic pathway at the translational level in Arabidopsis thaliana
TRM21 helps control flavonoid production and root hair growth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research In Search of Predictive Models for Inhibitors of 5-alpha Reductase 2 Based on the Integration of Bioactivity and Molecular Descriptors Data.
The models can help find better inhibitors for conditions like baldness and prostate disorders.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Tumor Mapping in 2 Large Multigenerational Families With CYLD Mutations
CYLD mutations cause a variety of skin tumors with symptoms starting around age 16, and treatments are currently limited.
research Structure-guided manipulation of the regioselectivity of the cyclosporine A hydroxylase CYP-sb21 from Sebekia benihana
Scientists improved an enzyme to better produce a hair growth-promoting chemical from an immunosuppressant.
research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Finasteride inhibited brain dopaminergic system and open-field behaviors in adolescent male rats
Finasteride affects young male rats' brain function and behavior negatively.
research Treatment of androgen excess in females: Yesterday, today and tomorrow
The document concludes that treating androgen excess needs patience, managing expectations is important, and many drugs used are not officially approved, suggesting cosmetic options for mild cases.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Androgen excess: Investigations and management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Endocrinological evaluation and hormonal therapy for women with difficult acne
Hormonal therapy is a good option for women with severe acne, especially when there's a chance of hormone imbalance.
