research Parietal scalp is another affected area in female pattern hair loss: an analysis of hair density and hair diameter
Parietal scalp area has lower hair density and smaller hair diameter in women with hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase type 1 inhibition of Oryza sativa bran extract prepared by supercritical carbon dioxide fluid
Rice bran extract might help prevent hair loss.
research ENZYMES
Enzymes are classified into six types and are essential for many biological processes, with only a few targeted by drugs.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Male Pattern Baldness
Male pattern baldness is often genetic and linked to a hormone, with treatments like finasteride and minoxidil being effective for some men.
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 Circulating testosterone and feather-gene expression of receptors and metabolic enzymes in relation to melanin-based colouration in the barn owl
Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Experiment on the effect of Artemisia sieversiana extract on hair loss prevention and cell growth
Artemisia sieversiana extract may help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Cellular actions of testosterone in vascular cells: Mechanism independent of aromatization to estradiol
Testosterone affects vascular cells directly without converting to estradiol.
research Expression Profiles of Reproduction- and Thyroid Hormone-Related Transcripts in the Brains of Chemically-Induced Intersex Frogs
Intersex frogs have different brain gene activity related to sex and thyroid hormones.
research Cardiac and brainstem neuroinflammatory pathways account for androgenic incitement of cardiovascular and autonomic manifestations in endotoxic male rats
Testosterone plays a big role in heart and nervous system damage caused by inflammation in male rats, suggesting that blocking testosterone production could help manage this condition.
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 Ovarian sex steroid receptors and sex hormones in androgenized rats
High doses of nandrolone decanoate disrupt ovarian hormones and receptors in rats, with recovery only at lower doses and longer recovery times.
research Prevention of Male Late-Onset Hypogonadism by Natural Polyphenolic Antioxidants
Natural antioxidants like flavonoids and resveratrol may help prevent low testosterone in aging men.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Drugs and Androgenetic Alopecia: What to look out for
Certain drugs can worsen hair loss in people prone to androgenetic alopecia.
research Treatment options for polycystic ovary syndrome
Different treatments for PCOS focus on the specific symptoms, with weight loss and lifestyle changes being important.
research Testosterone modulation of seizure susceptibility is mediated by neurosteroids 3α-androstanediol and 17β-estradiol
Testosterone increases seizure risk through its conversion to specific neurosteroids.
research Sex hormones and acne
Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.
research Androgens and ovarian function: translation from basic discovery research to clinical impact
Androgens are important for female fertility and could help in IVF treatment, but also play a role in causing PCOS.
research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD) Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research NEONATAL INHIBITION OF ANDROGEN ACTIVITY ALTERS THE PROGRAMMING OF BODY WEIGHT AND OREXINERGIC PEPTIDES DIFFERENTIALLY IN MALE AND FEMALE RATS
Blocking androgen activity in newborn rats affects body weight and appetite-related hormones differently in males and females.
research SERUM-CONCENTRATIONS OF Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate IN MEN WITH ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Men with male pattern baldness don't necessarily have high levels of Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate, and there's no link between its levels and the severity of hair loss.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Testosterone protects female embryonic heart H9c2 cells against severe metabolic stress by activating estrogen receptors and up-regulating IES SUR2B
Testosterone protects female heart cells from stress by activating estrogen receptors.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
