research Poria cocos polysaccharides attenuate chronic nonbacterial prostatitis by targeting the gut microbiota: Comparative study of Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride in treating chronic prostatitis
Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both help treat chronic nonbacterial prostatitis, but Poria cocos polysaccharides also improve gut health.
research 5 alpha-reductase inhibition by a new synthetic steroid (PM-9) in cultures of Penicillium crustosum.
PM-9, like finasteride, may help treat certain diseases by blocking a key enzyme.
research Is Dutasteride a Therapeutic Alternative for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis?
Dutasteride, usually used for prostate issues and hair loss, could potentially treat Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) due to its neuroprotective, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties, but more testing is needed.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase, IL-6 Secretion, and Oxidation Process of Equisetum debile Roxb. ex Vaucher Extract as Functional Food and Nutraceuticals Ingredients
Equisetum debile extract, especially the ethyl acetate type, may be a promising natural ingredient for anti-hair loss products.
research Two Hypomorphic Alleles of Mouse Ass1 as a New Animal Model of Citrullinemia Type I and Other Hyperammonemic Syndromes
Researchers created a new mouse model for studying Citrullinemia Type I and similar conditions, showing symptoms and treatment responses like those in humans.
research Characteristic intraepidermal nerve fibre endings of the intervibrissal fur in the mystacial pad of the rat: morphological details revealed by intravital methylene blue staining and the zinc iodide‐osmium tetroxide technique
Methylene blue staining effectively reveals detailed nerve structures in rat snouts.
research Brain allopregnanolone induces marked scratching behaviour in diet-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research Repeatable Perming via Thiol–Michael Click Reaction: Using Amide Derived from Maleic Acid and Cystine
A new perming method is less damaging to hair and works as well as traditional methods.
research Prodrugs of butyric acid from bench to bedside: Synthetic design, mechanisms of action, and clinical applications
New butyric acid prodrugs show promise for cancer treatment, anemia management, and protecting hair from chemotherapy damage.
research Two-ligand priming mechanism for potentiated phosphoinositide synthesis is an evolutionarily conserved feature of Sec14-like phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylcholine exchange proteins
A protein in plants needs to bind two lipids to help with root hair growth, and this process is similar across different plant species.
research Relation of Selenium, Vitamin E and Other Factors to Muscular Dystrophy in the Rabbit
Natural feedstuffs help reduce muscular dystrophy in rabbits more than selenium or vitamin E alone.
research Enhanced Sensitivity to Ethanol-Induced Inhibition of LTP in CA1 Pyramidal Neurons of Socially Isolated C57BL/6J Mice: Role of Neurosteroids
Social isolation makes mice more sensitive to alcohol's effects on brain function.
research Effective Extraction of Keratin from Human Hair under Mild Conditions Using DES Based on Choline Chloride and Ethanolamine
Keratin can be successfully taken from human hair using a mix of choline chloride and ethanolamine.
research Synergistic Antibacterial Activity and Wound Healing Properties of Selenium-Chitosan-Mupirocin Nanohybrid System: An in Vivo Study on Rat Diabetic Staphylococcus aureus Wound Infection Model
The nanohybrid system significantly improved wound healing and showed strong antibacterial activity.
research Serum and liver tissue biotinidase enzyme activity in rats which were administrated to valproic acid
Valproic acid may cause hair loss by reducing biotinidase enzyme activity in rats.
research Morphological Changes of Meibomian Glands in Men With Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
Men with benign prostate hyperplasia have more meibomian gland loss and tear film problems.
research A subpopulation of itch‐sensing neurons marked by Ret and somatostatin expression
Scientists found a specific group of itch-sensing nerve cells in mice important for feeling itch but not for sensing heat or touch.
research Sub-chronic testosterone treatment increases the levels of epithelial sodium channel (ENaC)-α,βandγin the kidney of orchidectomized adult male Sprague–Dawley rats
Testosterone increases certain kidney protein levels, potentially raising blood pressure.
