research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research Efficacy of platelet-rich plasma in treatment of androgenic alopecia
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections can effectively increase hair density and thickness in people with androgenic alopecia, without major side effects.
research Therapeutic strategy for hair regeneration: hair cycle activation, niche environment modulation, wound-induced follicle neogenesis, and stem cell engineering
The conclusion is that hair growth can be improved by activating hair cycles, changing the surrounding environment, healing wounds to create new hair follicles, and using stem cell technology.
research Drug discovery for alopecia: gone today, hair tomorrow
Topical drugs and near-infrared light therapy show potential for treating alopecia.
research Persistent Sexual Dysfunction and Suicidal Ideation in Young Men Treated with Low-Dose Finasteride: A Pharmacovigilance Study
Low-dose finasteride may cause lasting sexual dysfunction and suicidal thoughts in young men.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research Primary Generalized Glucocorticoid Resistance and Hypersensitivity
The conclusion is that genetic changes in the glucocorticoid receptor can lead to conditions affecting stress response, immunity, and metabolism, requiring personalized treatment.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Exploring the Drug Repurposing Versatility of Valproic Acid as a Multifunctional Regulator of Innate and Adaptive Immune Cells
Valproic Acid could potentially be used to treat immune-related conditions due to its ability to modify immune cell functions.
research Nudging hair shedding by antidandruff shampoos. A comparison of 1% ketoconazole, 1% piroctone olamine and 1% zinc pyrithione formulations
All three shampoos reduced dandruff and hair loss, but ketoconazole and piroctone olamine also made hair thicker.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Comparison of clinical and laboratory characteristics of cases with polycystic ovarian syndrome based on Rotterdam’s criteria and women whose only clinical signs are oligo/anovulation or hirsutism
Women with only irregular periods or excess hair have a better hormone profile than those with full PCOS, but both groups are similar, indicating a need for better PCOS diagnosis methods.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Inhibitory activities of Puerariae Flos against testosterone 5α-reductase and its hair growth promotion activities
Puerariae Flos extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and promoting hair growth.
research Hair growth effects of oral administration of finasteride, a steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, alone and in combination with topical minoxidil in the balding stumptail macaque.
Finasteride and minoxidil together promote hair growth better than either alone.
research Hair Regenerative Mechanisms of Red Ginseng Oil and Its Major Components in the Testosterone-Induced Delay of Anagen Entry in C57BL/6 Mice
Red ginseng oil and its components help promote hair regrowth and could treat hair loss.
research Sexuality in premature ovarian insufficiency
Premature ovarian insufficiency (POI) can harm women's sexual health, and they may benefit from hormone therapy and counseling.
research THE MAGNITUDE OF SKIN DISEASE IN THE UNITED STATES
Skin diseases, especially psoriasis, greatly affect people's quality of life, similar to chronic diseases.
research Characterization of X-Linked SNP genotypic variation in globally distributed human populations
The research concluded that selection significantly shaped the genetic variation of the X chromosome, with certain regions affected by past selective events.
research Significant effects of mild endogenous hormonal changes in humans: considerations for low-dose testing.
Small changes in hormones can significantly impact health, showing the importance of sensitive testing for chemicals that disrupt hormones.
research Evaluating hair growth promoting effects of candidate substance: A review of research methods
The document concludes that while lab results for hair growth promotion are promising, human trials are needed and better testing methods should be developed.
research Hormonal prevention of prostate cancer
