research 5α-Reductase underscores the development of pectoral fin breeding tubercles in zebrafish
The development of breeding tubercles in male zebrafish relies on a specific enzyme that processes hormones.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Identification of xenobiotics interfering with 5 α -reductase (SRD5A2) activity
MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme.
research Crystal structure of steroid reductase SRD5A reveals conserved steroid reduction mechanism
The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.
research The Benefits of Dual Inhibition of 5α Reductase
Dutasteride reduces DHT and improves BPH symptoms more effectively than finasteride.
research Testosterone Deficiency is Not Protective Against the Development of Adenocarcinoma of the Prostate in a Type 1 Diabetic Patient
Low testosterone does not prevent prostate cancer in men with type 1 diabetes.
research Hair Growth Defects in Insig-Deficient Mice Caused by Cholesterol Precursor Accumulation and Reversed by Simvastatin
Mice lacking Insig proteins had hair growth problems due to cholesterol buildup, but this was fixed by the drug simvastatin.
research The Effect of Finasteride in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Finasteride effectively treats BPH but may increase sexual dysfunction risk.
research Finasteride in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth in women with hirsutism and works better with electrolysis.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Is the “Comb Over” Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Effect of Eurycoma longifolia Extract on Testosterone Synthesis in TM3 Leydig Cells under Oxidative Stress
Eurycoma longifolia extract may help increase testosterone levels and reduce andropause symptoms.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research A comparative in vivo and in vitro evaluation of hair growth potential of extracts and an isolate from petroleum ether extract of Cuscuta reflexa Roxb
Cuscuta reflexa extracts and an isolate promoted hair growth and could be natural treatments for hair loss.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Effect of finasteride on the ovulatory function of normal women
Finasteride doesn't affect ovulation in normal women.
research PHYTOCHEMICALS: AN HERBAL REMEDIES FOR ALOPECIA
Plant-based treatments can effectively and safely treat hair loss.
research Identification of a new plant extract for androgenic alopecia treatment using a non-radioactive human hair dermal papilla cell-based assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss and Androgen Excess: A Report From the Multidisciplinary Androgen Excess and PCOS Committee
Use "female pattern hair loss" term, assess androgen excess, treat with minoxidil and other medications if needed.
research Therapeutic strategies for treating hair loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research The metabolism of testosterone by dermal papilla cells cultured from scalp follicles of men with androgenetic alopecia
Testosterone metabolism in balding scalp cells may not be the main cause of hair loss.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Undariopsis peterseniana Promotes Hair Growth by the Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathways
