research Synthesis and in vitro study of 17β-[N-ureylene-N,N′-disubstituted]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as selective inhibitors of type I 5α-reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research Bimatoprost versus clobetasol propionate in scalp alopecia areata: A prospective non-randomized open-label clinical trial
Bimatoprost and clobetasol are both effective for scalp hair loss, but bimatoprost works faster, has fewer side effects, and grows more colored hair.
research Effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on serum gonadotropins in normal men
research HPLC Profiling and Insilco studies of Chochurus olitoris (Jute) Leave Fractions against Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 (SRD5α2)
Jute leaves may help reduce DHT levels, potentially aiding in conditions like hair loss and prostate issues.
research Isoalantolactone (ISA) Stimulates Hair Cell Growth Through Activation of the WNT/β-catenin and Ras/MAPK Pathways
Isoalantolactone promotes hair growth by activating specific cell pathways.
research Correlation of Serum 3α-Androstanediol Glucuronide with Acne and Chest Hair Density in Men
Higher levels of a specific hormone are linked to more chest hair and acne in men.
research Comparison of finasteride (proscar®), a 5α reductase inhibitor, and various commercial plant extracts in in vitro and in vivo 5α reductase inhibition
Finasteride effectively inhibits 5α reductase, while plant extracts like Permixon and Bazoton don't show significant results.
research Possible role of β‐hydroxybutyrate in inducing inflammation in alopecia areata
High beta-hydroxybutyrate levels may worsen hair loss in alopecia areata.
research Treatment of androgenetic alopecia in females in reproductive age with topical estradiolbenzoate, prednisolon and salicylic acid.
The treatment slightly increased hair growth and was safe for most women.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Clinical efficacy of supplement and scalp lotion containing astaxanthin in male androgenetic alopecia
research No effects of statins on improvement of alopecia areata: a four year retrospective cohort study in a metropolitan area
