research Correlation between Clinical Features, Biochemical Parameters, and Histopathological Findings in Women with Patterned Baldness: A Study from North India.
Patterned hair loss in women is linked to hormonal imbalances and biochemical changes, and should be evaluated for underlying health issues.
research Hormonal and Genetic Etiology of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
research Study of endocrinal profile and trichoscopic features in female pattern hair loss at tertiary care hospital
Hormonal imbalances contribute to female hair loss, and trichoscopy is a useful diagnostic tool.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
research Pharmacology of Natural Volatiles and Essential Oils in Food, Therapy, and Disease Prophylaxis
Natural volatiles and essential oils have health benefits and can enhance the effects of some medicines, but more research is needed to understand how they work and their possible side effects.
research The circulating dihydrotestosterone/testosterone ratio is increased by gut microbial 5α-reductase activity in females
Women have a higher DHT/testosterone ratio than men, possibly due to gut bacteria activity.
research Progress in Topical and Transdermal Drug Delivery Research—Focus on Nanoformulations
Nanoformulations improve drug delivery through the skin, reducing side effects and enhancing effectiveness.
research Advances and Challenges in Plant Sterol Research: Fundamentals, Analysis, Applications and Production
Plant sterols have health benefits like lowering cholesterol, but more research is needed to understand their effects and improve their extraction and sustainability.
research Correlation Between Nongenomic Action of C19-Steroids and COVID-19 Severity
Low testosterone may increase COVID-19 severity in men.
research Plasma levels of C19 steroid glucuronides in pre-menopausal women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research Remarks on the Hormonal Background of the Male Equivalent of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Men might have a version of the female disease, polycystic ovarian syndrome, shown by changes in hormone levels and early baldness, but more research is needed to fully understand it.
research Subcellular localization of the five members of the human steroid 5α-reductase family
All five human steroid 5α-reductase enzymes are found in the endoplasmic reticulum.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of C21 Steroids Having 1,4-diene or 4,6-diene 20-ones and 4-Azasteroid 20-Oximes
Three specific 4-azasteroid-2-oximes showed strong enzyme inhibition, but less than finasteride.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor.
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Quintaquinone, a Merosesquiterpene from the Yellow Sponge Verongula cf. rigida Esper
A new compound from a sponge strongly inhibits an enzyme linked to male-pattern hair loss without being toxic at low levels.
research Synthesis of 11α-hydroxyprogesterone hartens
Researchers successfully made new compounds for hormone level tests, but one attempt led to an unexpected product, correcting a past error.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Geographic Influence and Metabolomics-Driven Discovery of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Tectona grandis L.f. (Teak) Leaves
Teak leaf extract can help treat hair loss, and its effectiveness varies by geographic origin.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Urinary steroid metabolome shows adrenal, gonadal, and neuroactive steroid dysregulation in adolescents with depression
Depressed teens have different steroid levels in urine, which may help identify and treat them.
research Health consequences of anabolic steroids: a sexual-medicine perspective
Anabolic steroid abuse can cause sexual, fertility, and health problems.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
