30 / 1000+ resultsresearch Assessment of Nitric Oxide Synthase Protein Level in the Scalp of Androgenetic Alopecia
Higher nitric oxide synthase levels in the scalp may influence hair loss in androgenetic alopecia.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Filamin A Mediates Wound Closure by Promoting Elastic Deformation and Maintenance of Tension in the Collagen Matrix
Testosterone may worsen hair loss by affecting hair growth signals, while different prostaglandins can either hinder or promote hair growth.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Association between exogenous testosterone use and new diagnosis of hidradenitis suppurativa: A case series
Exogenous testosterone use may be linked to developing hidradenitis suppurativa.
research Assessment of efficacy and safety of dapsone gel 5% in the treatment of acne vulgaris
Dapsone gel 5% is effective and safe for treating acne.
research 013 Prostaglandin D2 enhances testosterone metabolism by ROS-mediated altered redox potential in keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
research Thyroid hormones and androgens differentially regulate gene expression in testes and ovaries of sexually mature Silurana tropicalis
Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.
research Antiandrogens — Basic Concepts for Treatment
Antiandrogens can treat excess body hair and hair loss by blocking male hormones.
research Anabolic potential of bone mineral in human periosteal fibroblasts using steroid markers of healing
Bone mineral and minocycline boost bone cell growth, aiding healing.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research Pathomechanism of androgenetic alopecia and new treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Framing the Problem: The Mystery of Post-Finasteride Syndrome and Reasons to Suspect a Microbial Factor
Gut bacteria imbalance may cause Post-Finasteride Syndrome symptoms.
research Framing the Problem: The Mystery of Post-Finasteride Syndrome and Reasons to Suspect a Microbial Factor
Gut bacteria imbalance may cause Post-Finasteride Syndrome symptoms.
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 The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.
research Androgen receptor–mediated inhibition of cutaneous wound healing
Lowering testosterone speeds up wound healing in male mice.
research Prostaglandin D2-Mediated DP2 and AKT Signal Regulate the Activation of Androgen Receptors in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
PGD2 increases androgen receptor activity in hair cells, which could be targeted to treat hair loss.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, a potent androgen receptor antagonist for stimulating hair growth and reducing sebum production
The compound (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile can stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production when applied topically.
research Pantolactams as androgen receptor antagonists for the topical suppression of sebum production
Pfizer found that pantolactam-based compounds can reduce sebum (skin oil) production when applied topically.
research Androgens modulate keratinocyte differentiation indirectly through enhancing growth factor production from dermal fibroblasts
Male hormones indirectly affect skin cell development by increasing growth factor levels from skin fibroblasts.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
