research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.

research Synthesis and 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of 8-substituted benzo[ƒ]quinolinones derived from palladium mediated coupling reactions
Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Hair Steroid Profiling Reveals Racial Differences in Male Pattern Baldness between Korean and Caucasian Populations
Korean and Caucasian men with male pattern baldness have different hair steroid levels.
![Synthesis and In Vitro Study of 17β-[N-Ureylene-N,N′-Disubstituted]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as Selective Inhibitors of Type I 5α-Reductase](/images/research/d19df8a7-8de6-4430-8a0d-4ffa1f502985/small/15608.jpg)
research Synthesis and in vitro study of 17β-[N-ureylene-N,N′-disubstituted]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as selective inhibitors of type I 5α-reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Hair loss in men can be slowed or reversed with treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but it resumes if treatment stops. It may also indicate early heart disease and obesity.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research ANTI-ALOPECIA ACTIVITY OF MORINGA (MORINGA OLEIFERA LAMK.) SEED OIL AGAINST DIHYDROTESTOSTERONE-INDUCED RABBITS
Moringa seed oil helped hair growth in rabbits, with the highest dose being most effective.
research Efectos de la alteración de los niveles de allopregnanolona durante periodos críticos del neurodesarrollo en la vulnerabilidad al consumo de alcohol
Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Cycle pilaire et alopécie X chez le chien
Alopecia X in dogs is a cosmetic issue, not a hormonal disorder, and harmful treatments should be avoided.
research Genomic and Transcriptomic Characterization of Atypical Recurrent Flank Alopecia in the Cesky Fousek
The study found that the hair loss condition in Cesky Fousek dogs is influenced by multiple genes affecting skin and muscle structure, fat metabolism, and immunity.
research Rare and common genetic determinants of metabolic individuality and their effects on human health
Genetic variations greatly affect individual metabolism and can impact health and disease risk.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators: a critical appraisal
SARMs show promise but need more evidence to prove they're better than traditional androgens.
research Catamenial-like seizure exacerbation in mice with targeted ablation of extrasynaptic δGABA-a receptors in the brain
Removing certain brain receptors in mice worsens seizure severity and response to treatment during hormone withdrawal.
research Sulforaphane-Rich Broccoli Sprout Extract Promotes Hair Regrowth in an Androgenetic Alopecia Mouse Model via Enhanced Dihydrotestosterone Metabolism
Broccoli sprout extract may help regrow hair by improving hormone metabolism.
research Early postnatal inhibition of neurosteroid synthesis changes the later-life adverse outcome of neonatal asphyxia in rats
Finasteride reduced seizures and prevented cognitive issues in rats after neonatal asphyxia but increased anxiety later.
