Research
420-450 / 1000+ resultsresearch Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Discontinuation of Alpha-Blockade after Initial Treatment with Finasteride and Doxazosin for Bladder Outlet Obstruction
Stopping alpha-blocker medication after 6-9 months is safe and effective for most patients with bladder outlet obstruction.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research First-in-Man Clinical Trial of the Oral Pan-AKT Inhibitor MK-2206 in Patients With Advanced Solid Tumors
MK-2206 was safe and effectively blocked AKT signaling in cancer patients, warranting more trials.
research Preliminary findings suggest hidradenitis suppurativa may be due to defective follicular support
Hidradenitis suppurativa is likely caused by blocked hair follicles, not apocrine glands.
research A Topical Parathyroid Hormone/Parathyroid Hormone-Related Peptide Receptor Antagonist Stimulates Hair Growth in Mice
A cream with a specific hormone blocker increases hair growth in mice.
research Lesions in the skin, intestine, and central nervous system induced by an antimetabolite of niacin.
Injecting newborn mice with a niacin blocker caused skin, gut, and brain damage similar to human pellagra.
research THE ROLE Of 5αR AND α1AR INHIBITORS IN MANAGEMENT OF BPH
Combining dutasteride or finasteride with an α1 blocker is more effective for managing BPH than using either alone.
research Alopecia Secondary to Hyaluronic Acid Embolization: Trichoscopic Findings
Hyaluronic acid injections can cause hair loss due to blocked blood vessels.
research DETERMINATION OF PERMEATION PATHWAY OF GENTAMICIN INTO PIG’S EAR SKIN
Gentamicin penetrates pig skin better through open hair follicles than blocked ones.
research Mechanical upper bowel obstruction caused by a large trichobezoar in a young woman: A very unusual case report
A young woman had surgery to remove a large hairball that blocked her intestines and then got psychiatric help.
research Anabolic effects of testosterone are preserved during inhibition of 5α-reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
research ROLLED HAIRS AND HYPERTRICHOSIS
A 15-year-old girl with hypothyroidism had excess hair and skin issues due to blocked hair follicles.
research Skin Lesions in Drug Addicts
Drug addicts often have scars, skin color changes, blocked veins, and bruising, with severe ulcers from barbiturate injections.
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 Development of a novel, clinically-relevant model for investigating factors that stimulate human hair growth
Testosterone stimulates growth in intermediate hair follicles, but this can be blocked by cyproterone acetate.
research Usefulness of the vasodilator minoxidil in resistant hypertension
Minoxidil effectively lowers blood pressure in resistant cases, but needs beta-blocker and diuretic support.
research Abstract 5357: Targeting mTORC1 suppresses proliferation of keratinocyte stem cells and inhibits skin tumor promotion in mice
Blocking mTORC1 reduces skin tumor growth in mice.
research A Ca 2+ /calmodulin-dependent protein kinase required for symbiotic nodule development: Gene identification by transcript-based cloning
The DMI3 gene is essential for nodule development and symbiosis in certain plants.
research The role of hair follicles in the percutaneous absorption of caffeine
Hair follicles significantly increase the speed and amount of caffeine absorbed through the skin.
research Ethanol Enhances Neurosteroidogenesis in Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons by Paradoxical NMDA Receptor Activation
Ethanol boosts brain steroid production by activating NMDA receptors, affecting memory formation.
research GABAergic neurosteroids mediate the effects of ethanol on long‐term potentiation in rat hippocampal slices
Ethanol blocks memory formation in rats by enhancing certain brain chemicals.
research Finasteride inhibits the progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges in a genetic model of absence epilepsy
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on absence seizures in rats.
research Permeation of topically applied Magnesium ions through human skin is facilitated by hair follicles

research A Neutralizing Prolactin Receptor Antibody Whose In Vivo Application Mimics the Phenotype of Female Prolactin Receptor-Deficient Mice
The antibody 005-C04 blocks prolactin receptors, causing reversible infertility, impaired lactation, and hair regrowth in female mice.
research The anxiolytic-like effects of estazolam on a PTSD animal model
Estazolam reduces anxiety-like behavior in PTSD by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride increases suicide-related aggressive behaviors and blocks clozapine-induced beneficial effects in an animal model of schizophrenia
Finasteride raises suicide-linked aggression and stops clozapine's positive effects in schizophrenia animals.
research Corticosterone enhances the potency of ethanol against hippocampal long-term potentiation via local neurosteroid synthesis
Corticosterone makes ethanol more effective at blocking brain processes important for learning and memory.
research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
