research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Updates on Hirsutism: A Narrative Review
The review suggests a comprehensive approach to treat hirsutism, focusing on hair removal, medication, and managing emotional effects.
research Is There Any Association Between Clinical and Biochemical Hyperandrogenism in Women With Female Pattern Hair Loss?
Clinical signs of hyperandrogenism are related to female pattern hair loss severity, but biochemical markers are not.
research In That Issue: Proceedings From the Third Intercontinental Meeting of Hair Research Societies
The meeting covered advances in understanding hair growth, causes of hair loss, and potential treatments.
research A Review: The Location, Molecular Characterisation and Multipotency of Hair Follicle Epidermal Stem Cells
Hair follicle stem cells are mainly in the bulge region and can help repair skin and form hair and glands, but more research is needed to fully understand them.
research Cutaneous Findings and Systemic Associations in Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have more body hair, acne, and skin darkening, and these signs are linked to metabolic issues like insulin resistance and high cholesterol.
research Hair follicles, their disorders and their opportunities
Hair follicles offer promising targets for delivering drugs to treat hair and skin conditions.
research Organization and Expression of Hair Follicle Genes.
Hair growth is controlled by specific gene clusters and proteins, and cysteine affects hair gene expression in sheep.
research Androgen receptors are only present in mesenchyme-derived dermal papilla cells of red deer (Cervus elaphus) neck follicles when raised androgens induce a mane in the breeding season
Red deer only have androgen receptors in neck hair cells for mane growth during breeding season.
research Divergent proliferation patterns of distinct human hair follicle epithelial progenitor niches in situ and their differential responsiveness to prostaglandin D2
Different human hair follicle stem cells grow at different rates and respond differently to a baldness-related compound.
research Evaluation of acute, subacute oral toxicity and wound healing activity of mother plant and callus of Teucrium polium L. subsp. geyrii Maire from Algeria
Teucrium polium extracts are non-toxic and effectively speed up wound healing.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Androgen- and Estrogen-Secreting Adrenal Cancers
Rare adrenal cancers that secrete androgens or estrogens have a poor prognosis and are treated primarily with surgery.
research Acute and 30-day oral toxicity studies of a novel coccidiostat – ethanamizuril
Ethanamizuril is safe for rats at 20 mg/kg feed, but higher doses cause hair loss, organ changes, and liver, kidney, and lung damage.
