research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research A concise review- Development of an analytical method and validation of dutasteride
New methods for measuring dutasteride are effective and reliable.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
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 Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research Cyclohex-1-ene Carboxylic Acids: Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of Novel Inhibitors of Human 5α Reductase
Scientists made new substances that can block an enzyme linked to prostate issues and hair loss, with potential for creating a new treatment.
research Parenteral and Oral Cyproterone Acetate Treatment in Severe Hirsutism
Cyproterone acetate implants were more effective at reducing facial hair and improving skin in severe hirsutism than oral treatment.
research Effects of chronic inhibition of Testosterone metabolism on cardiac remodeling after ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial damage in gonadectomized rats
Testosterone reduces heart damage and inflammation after injury.
research Heterozygous 21‐hydroxylasedeficiency as a cause of hyperandrogenism
A woman's hyperandrogenism was caused by a genetic mutation leading to non-classic adrenogenital syndrome.
research Effect of cyproterone acetate on rate of hair growth in hirsute females
Cyproterone acetate reduced hair growth in most hirsute females and made hair softer, thinner, and lighter.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research The combination of ethinylestradiol/cyproterone acetate is temporarily withdrawn from the market in France. Is the measure justified?
The paper suggests that France's suspension of Diane-35 was hasty and could cause treatment issues and unintended pregnancies, recommending a re-evaluation and better patient information.
research Photobiomodulation or low‐level laser therapy
Low-level laser therapy, now called photobiomodulation, is recognized for its broad medical applications and scientific backing.
research Liposomes in cosmeceutics
Liposomes could improve how skin care products work but are costly and not very stable.
research A clinical overview of hair removal using lasers and light sources
Lasers and light sources can effectively remove hair, work best on fair skin with dark hair, and usually need multiple treatments.
