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 Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research From basal cell carcinoma morphogenesis to the alopecia induced by hedgehog inhibitors: connecting the dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Experimental and early investigational drugs for androgenetic alopecia
New hair loss treatments may include topical medications, injections, and improved transplant methods.
research Clinical use of 5α-reductase inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Exploring the Systematic Anticancer Mechanism in Selected Medicinal Plants: A Review
Medicinal plants have potential as alternative cancer treatments due to their ability to target and kill cancer cells.
research 1367 The protective role of miR-486 for alopecia areata
miR-486 may help prevent hair loss in alopecia areata.
research 1369 Blue light stimulatory effect on hair growth mediated by opsin and cryptochrome photoreceptors
Blue light can help hair grow by affecting certain receptors in hair follicles.
research Hormone Blocking Anticancer Drugs
The document explains how certain drugs block hormones to treat cancers like breast and prostate cancer.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Skin and Hair Disease
Antiandrogen therapies are beneficial for treating skin and hair conditions related to androgen levels.
research Clinical aspect, pathogenesis and therapy options of alopecia induced by hormonal therapy for breast cancer
Breast cancer hormone therapy can cause hair loss, which can be treated with daily applications of specific topical solutions like minoxidil and hydrocortisone butyrate.
research Sex Hormones: Hormonal Contraception and Hormone Replacement Therapy
Hormonal contraceptives and therapies regulate organ functions and treat various conditions.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Sex‐dependent responsiveness of hippocampal neurons to sex neurosteroids: A role of Arc/Arg3.1
Sex hormones affect brain cells differently in males and females.
research Pharmacologic interventions in aging hair
Minoxidil and Finasteride are effective for male baldness; more research is needed for hair aging treatments.
research Terminalia chebula retz. Fruit Extract Promotes Murine Hair Growth by Suppressing 5α-Reductase and Accelerating the Degradation of Dihydrotestosterone
Terminalia chebula fruit extract helps hair growth by reducing DHT and boosting hair cell activity.
research CXCL12 Neutralizing Antibody Promotes Hair Growth in Androgenic Alopecia and Alopecia Areata
Blocking the protein CXCL12 with a specific antibody can increase hair growth in common hair loss conditions.
research [Androgenetic alopecia].
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by genetic factors and hormones, with different mechanisms in men and women, and can be linked to insulin resistance and polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Paradoxical Nonscarring Alopecia Following Mesotherapy with Dutasteride: A Case Series

Various treatments effectively manage androgenetic alopecia.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Medical therapy for hair loss: what we know and what we need to find out
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for male hair loss; minoxidil also helps female hair loss, with some treatments needing more research.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.
research Neo-synthesis of estrogenic or androgenic neurosteroids determine whether long-term potentiation or depression is induced in hippocampus of male rat
DHT is needed for long-term depression, while E2 is needed for full long-term potentiation in male rat brains.
