660-690 / 1000+ resultsresearch Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel androst-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research Exploring Reference Values for Hair Cortisol
Hair sample weight is a better measure for cortisol levels in hair than hair protein concentration.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone- and glucose-6-phosphate-dehydrogenases in the hair cycle of the rat
research Hair cortisol analysis: An update on methodological considerations and clinical applications
Hair cortisol analysis can help diagnose stress-related conditions but needs more refinement for widespread use.
research Influence of external factors on hair cortisol concentrations
External factors can significantly affect hair cortisol levels, so it's not always a reliable stress marker.
research Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and Testosterone Concentrations in Human Hair after Chronic DHEA Supplementation
Chronic DHEA supplementation slightly increases testosterone in hair but stays within safe limits.
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research A quantitative ultra-performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis of steroids from human scalp hair
The method can measure multiple steroids in human hair to study long-term steroid metabolism, especially in newborns and children.
research Feasibility of Measuring Hair Glucocorticoids as a Potential Biomarker for Chronic Stress in Older Adults With Intellectual Disabilities
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 Finasteride and the 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
research The biochemical and phenotypic characterization of females homozygous for 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency.
Females with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency have less body hair, no acne, normal fertility, and delayed menarche.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Crystal structure of Steroid 5-alpha-reductase 2 in complex with Finasteride
research Synthesis and Biological Evaluation of 4-(4-(Alkyl-and Phenylaminocarbonyl)benzoyl)benzoic Acid Derivatives as Non-steroidal Inhibitors of Steroid 5α-Reductase Isozymes 1 and 2
The compound 4c effectively inhibits the enzyme linked to hair loss.
research A 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride, increases differentiation and proliferation of embryonal carcinoma cell-derived-neural cells
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
Finasteride may treat baldness but less effective for those with 5α-reductase deficiency.
research METABOLISM OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE BY ISOLATED HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES
Human hair follicles can process steroid hormones like DHEA.
research Changes in Populations of HLA- DR+CD3+ Cells and CD57–CD16+ Cells in Alopecia areata after Corticosteroid Therapy
Corticosteroid therapy reduces specific immune cells and promotes hair growth in alopecia areata patients.
research 5 Dihydrotestosterone metabolism
Certain finger length ratios and body hair patterns may predict side effects from birth control pills in women.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine steroid hormones in human serum with high sensitivity.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Curcumin derivatives inhibit testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research PULSED ADMINISTRATION OF CORTICOSTEROIDS IN THE TREATMENT OF ALOPECIA AREATA
A 300 mg monthly pulse of prednisolone effectively and safely treats widespread alopecia areata.
research Characterization of response of murine hair follicle-derived keratinocyte against androgen and testosterone 5α-redactase activity
Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.
