research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research Lysocellin, a metabolite of the novel drug ‘alopestatin’, induces G1 arrest and prevents cytotoxicity induced by etoposide
Lysocellin helps stop cell damage from etoposide and may prevent hair loss.
research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants may help treat hair loss.

research Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist Treatment in Postmenopausal Women with Hyperandrogenism of Ovarian Origin
Treatment with a hormone agonist can reduce excess male hormones in postmenopausal women without surgery.
research Enzalutamide/finasteride/goserelin/zoledronic-acid
research [Anti-androgens. Their use in dermatology].
Cyproterone acetate with ethynyl estradiol significantly improved acne and seborrhea in women, but was less effective for hair loss and excessive hair growth.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research Bimatoprost
research New Synthesis of Finasteride
A new method to make Finasteride is more cost-effective and yields 16%.
research Inhibition of 5α‐Reduced Steroid Biosynthesis Impedes Acquisition of Ethanol Drinking in Male C57BL/6J Mice

research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research Commentary on a Randomized Placebo-Controlled, Double-Blind, Half-Head Study to Assess the Efficacy of Platelet-Rich Plasma on the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
PRP treatment increased hair density, especially in men and younger patients with AGA.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Medium-dose prednisolone pulse therapy in alopecia areata
Medium-dose prednisolone pulse therapy is effective and safe for multifocal alopecia areata but not for more severe forms.
research Attenzione divisa nei pazienti con cerebrolesione acquisita
Finasteride may cause sexual and psychological side effects by affecting an enzyme related to epinephrine.
research Anthralin/dithranol in dermatology
Anthralin is effective for psoriasis and alopecia with minimal systemic side effects but can irritate the skin.
research Isotope Dilution-Based Targeted and Nontargeted Carbonyl Neurosteroid/Steroid Profiling
Researchers created a new method to measure brain steroids, finding higher levels of certain steroids and changes due to a drug.
research Estrogens
research Apparent Cortisone Reductase Deficiency: A Rare Cause of Hyperandrogenemia and Hypercortisolism
Cortisone reductase deficiency can cause high androgen and cortisol levels and may be missed in women with similar symptoms.
research P273 : Recalcitrant alopecia areata improved with intralesional polydeoxyribonucleotide injection: two case reports
Two patients with stubborn hair loss grew hair after PDRN injections.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
