research Peripheral MC1R Activation Modulates Immune Responses and is Neuroprotective in a Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
NDP-MSH protects brain cells and reduces inflammation in Parkinson's disease by activating MC1R and involving Tregs.
research Increased DHEAS and Decreased Total Testosterone Serum Levels in a Subset of Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Exist?
Some men with early hair loss may have a male version of PCOS, affecting hormones and increasing health risks.
research Total testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio assessed by LC-MS/MS predicts a worse metabolic profile not only in PCOS patients
A higher testosterone to dihydrotestosterone ratio may indicate worse metabolic health in women.
research Cyclosporine A increases hair follicle growth by suppressing apoptosis-inducing factor nuclear translocation: a new mechanism
Cyclosporine A helps hair grow by blocking a process that would otherwise cause hair cells to die.
research Diagnosis and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)
The document concludes that managing PCOS involves treating symptoms, regulating periods, and reducing health risks, with specific medications for fertility and metabolic issues.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
research Feasibility of implementing current best clinical practice for people who are using anabolic androgenic steroids within a Swiss primary care practice: a quality assurance study
Integrating best practices for steroid users in Swiss primary care is feasible and beneficial, but doping laws need change.
research Curcumin/Fe-SiO2 nano composites with multi-synergistic effects for scar inhibition and hair follicle regeneration during burn wound healing
New nano composite helps reduce scars and regrow hair during burn wound healing.
research Co-administration of 5α-reductase Inhibitors Worsens the Adverse Metabolic Effects of Prescribed Glucocorticoids
Taking 5α-reductase inhibitors with prednisolone can worsen its negative effects on metabolism.
research Untargeted Metabolomics and Steroid Signatures in Urine of Male Pattern Baldness Patients after Finasteride Treatment for a Year
Finasteride treatment changes urine metabolomics and steroid signatures, potentially monitoring effectiveness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Treatment of hyperandrogenism in women
Cyproterone acetate is the preferred treatment for women's hyperandrogenism when estrogen/progestogen use is safe.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by factors like poor blood circulation, scalp tension, stress, and hormonal imbalances, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Hyperandrogenism in polycystic ovary syndrome and adrenal hyperplasia: finding differences to make a specific diagnosis

research Protein kinase Akt2/PKBβ is involved in blastomere proliferation of preimplantation mouse embryos
Akt2 protein is essential for normal cell division in early mouse embryos.
research Secretory phospholipase A2-IIA overexpressing mice exhibit cyclic alopecia mediated through aberrant hair shaft differentiation and impaired wound healing response
Mice with too much sPLA₂-IIA have hair loss and poor wound healing due to abnormal hair growth and stem cell depletion.
research Alopecia areata incognita in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome
The report suggests that hair loss in Cronkhite-Canada syndrome may be caused by alopecia areata incognita, as shown by a patient's improvement with treatment.
research Drug safety evaluation of exemestane
