Stress and hormones like progesterone can affect absence seizures, but their effects change with different life stages.
research The role of hair follicles and Edar signalling in cutaneous wound healing
Activating the Eda/Edar pathway improves wound healing by enhancing hair follicle growth.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planus pigmentosus
Mycophenolic acid may help hair growth, a combination treatment improves hair thickness in male hair loss, and early treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia is important.
research Enabling finasteride 1 mg users to further improve hair pattern: A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of a novel product
The new topical product combined with finasteride significantly increased hair thickness without side effects.
research Direct hair growth promoting effects of mycophenolic acid
Mycophenolic acid may help hair grow by activating pathways important for hair growth.
research Hair: A Review of Prominent Scalp Hair Changes throughout a Females’ Life
Women's hair gets thinner and grayer as they age, with treatments available for hair loss and graying.
research Equine 5α-reductase activity and expression in epididymis
The equine epididymis mainly uses type 1 5α-reductase, and both finasteride and dutasteride can inhibit its activity.
research Effect of dutasteride 0.5 mg/d in men with androgenetic alopecia recalcitrant to finasteride
Dutasteride helps hair growth in those unresponsive to finasteride, but may cause more sexual dysfunction.
research Measuring steroids in hair opens up possibilities to identify congenital adrenal hyperplasia in developing countries
Hair steroid measurement is an effective method to diagnose and monitor CAH in developing countries.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research Corticotropin releasing factor-1 receptor antagonism associated with favorable outcomes of male reproductive health biochemical parameters
Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Hexanoyloxy-16β-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
A new compound that could treat various androgen-related conditions was created and analyzed.
research Pharmacological Role and Clinical Applications of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors-Review Article for Pharmacists and Healthcare Professionals
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat prostate enlargement and hair loss but may cause side effects, requiring careful use.
research Androgen biosynthetic pathways in the human prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research Metabolic effects of 5α-reductase inhibition in humans
Dutasteride may reduce insulin sensitivity and increase body fat.
research Androgen binding to cytosol and nuclei of hamster sebaceous glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
research Androgen responsive genes as they affect hair growth.
Finasteride reduces caspase levels, helping hair growth in AGA patients.
research Adverse Effects of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Therapy in Men With Androgenetic Alopecia: Is There Cause for Concern?
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may cause sexual side effects, breast complications, and other health risks in men with hair loss.
research 17α‐estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo
17α-estradiol boosts aromatase activity in female hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
research Testosterone’s regulation of the HPA axis differs for adolescent and adult male rats
Adolescent male rats release more stress hormones than adults, and testosterone affects them differently.
research Effects of a novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution on scalp and serum dihydrotestosterone in healthy men with androgenetic alopecia
The 0.25% finasteride solution, when applied once a day, effectively reduces scalp DHT, potentially minimizing sexual side-effects linked to a systemic DHT reduction.
research Serum 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide is decreased in nonhirsute women with acne vulgaris
Women with acne have lower levels of a specific hormone marker than women without acne.
