research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Endocrine treatment of benign prostatichypertrophy: Current concepts
New hormonal treatments for enlarged prostate show promise for safer, effective non-surgical options.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Tracing the cellular origin of cancer
Understanding where cancer cells come from helps create better prevention and treatment methods.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research Overexpression of Smad7 results in severe pathological alterations in multiple epithelial tissues
Too much Smad7 can cause serious changes in skin tissues, including problems with hair growth, thymus shrinkage, and eye development issues.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research 9 Pilosebaceous physiology in relation to hirsutism and acne
Male hormones are important for hair and oil gland development and can cause conditions like excessive hair growth and acne.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Perspectives of Kennedy's disease
Kennedy's disease leads to muscle weakness and sensory issues, has no cure but manageable symptoms, and future treatments look promising.
research Anti-androgenic activities of the triterpenoids fraction of Ganoderma lucidum
The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.
research The control of hair growth: An overview
Hair growth is influenced by interactions between skin layers, growth factors, and hormones, but the exact mechanisms are not fully understood.
research Does prostaglandin D2 hold the cure to male pattern baldness?
Prostaglandin D₂ might be targeted for new male pattern baldness treatments.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Persistent erectile dysfunction in men exposed to the 5α-reductase inhibitors, finasteride, or dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride may cause long-lasting erectile dysfunction.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Alleviation of Multidrug Resistance by Flavonoid and Non-Flavonoid Compounds in Breast, Lung, Colorectal and Prostate Cancer
Some natural compounds may help overcome drug resistance in certain cancers, but more research is needed.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
