Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research PR-independent neurosteroid regulation of α2-GABA-A receptors in the hippocampus subfields
Progesterone and its byproducts control a specific receptor in the brain independently of progesterone receptors, affecting conditions related to the menstrual cycle.
research Role of neurosteroids in ischemic postconditioning-induced attenuation of cerebral ischemia-evoked neuronal injury and behavioral deficits in mice
Neurosteroids help protect the brain and improve behavior after a stroke in mice.
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research miR‐218‐5p regulates skin and hair follicle development through Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway by targeting SFRP2
miR-218-5p helps skin and hair growth by targeting SFRP2 and activating a specific signaling pathway.
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 Cedrol restricts the growth of colorectal cancer in vitro and in vivo by inducing cell cycle arrest and caspase-dependent apoptotic cell death
Cedrol may be an effective treatment for colorectal cancer.
research The clinical applications of five-alpha reductase inhibitors.
Five-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, can treat enlarged prostates, improve urination, reduce need for prostate surgery, and lower the risk of prostate cancer, but may increase the risk of higher grade prostate cancer. They can also treat male pattern baldness.
research 1321 Endocannabinoid-like molecule oleoylethanolamide promotes sebaceous lipid synthesis
Oleoylethanolamide (OEA) safely boosts fat production in skin cells and may help treat dry skin and reduce inflammation.
research Tumor suppressor activity of ODC antizyme in MEK-driven skin tumorigenesis
Antizyme slows skin tumor growth by reducing cell growth in mice.
research Efficacy and safety of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor monotherapy in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia: A meta-analysis
5 alpha-reductase inhibitors can slightly improve symptoms of enlarged prostate but have a high risk of sexual side effects.
research RETRACTED ARTICLE: Up-regulated lncRNA5322 elevates MAPK1 to enhance proliferation of hair follicle stem cells as a ceRNA of microRNA-19b-3p
A specific RNA increases hair stem cell growth and skin healing by affecting a protein through interaction with a microRNA.
