research Inhibitory activities of some traditional Chinese herbs against testosterone 5α-reductase and effects of Cacumen platycladi on hair re-growth in testosterone-treated mice
Certain Chinese herbs, especially Cacumen platycladi, can promote hair regrowth and reduce hair loss-related hormone levels in mice.
research Histopathological Findings and Proliferative Activity of Canine Sebaceous Gland Tumours with a Predominant Reserve Cell Population
High proliferative activity and peripheral invasion indicate malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumors; the term 'epithelioma' should be updated for clarity.
research 3α-androstanediol, but not testosterone, attenuates age-related decrements in cognitive, anxiety, and depressive behavior of male rats
3α-androstanediol helps reduce age-related cognitive and mood declines in male rats, unlike testosterone.
research Comparison of disease severity and ultrasonographic abdominal subcutaneous fatty tissue thickness in hirsute women
Women with more body hair tend to have thicker belly fat and more metabolic health issues.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2016
Balding scalps show different gene expressions affecting hair growth compared to non-balding scalps.

research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
research Association of Baldness with Coronary Artery Disease and Its Severity
Bald men may have a higher risk of heart disease, but baldness doesn't necessarily mean more severe heart disease.
