Research
360-390 / 1000+ resultsresearch The enzyme and inhibitors of 4-ene-3-oxosteroid 5α-oxidoreductase
Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
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 Neuroactive steroids inhibit spinal reflex potentiation by selectively enhancing specific spinal GABAA receptor subtypes
Progesterone reduces spinal reflex activity by increasing certain GABA(A) receptor subtypes.
research The Observation of Androgen Receptor Expression in Androgenetic Alopecia Patients
Androgen receptor differences may contribute to hair loss in AGA patients.
research Ligand‐independent Regulation of the hairless Promoter by Vitamin D Receptor†
Vitamin D receptor can control the hairless gene linked to hair loss even without vitamin D.
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 Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research Improved 2α-Hydroxylation Efficiency of Steroids by CYP154C2 Using Structure-Guided Rational Design
Mutants of CYP154C2 enzyme significantly improved steroid conversion efficiency.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research The metabolic syndrome- associated small G protein ARL15 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion
ARL15 is important for fat cell development and the release of the hormone adiponectin.
research Anxiolytic activity of progesterone in progesterone receptor knockout mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety without needing progesterone receptors.
research Metabolism of androgens by isolated human beard hair follicles
Human beard hair follicles change testosterone into other related hormones, but don't much change androstenedione into testosterone.
research The triacylglycerol synthesis enzyme DGAT1 also catalyzes the synthesis of diacylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters
DGAT1 enzyme helps make diacylglycerols, waxes, and retinyl esters.
research New ester derivatives of dehydroepiandrosterone as 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may help treat prostate issues without affecting androgen receptors.
research Extracellular ATP and Adenosine Signaling in Arabidopsis: Investigating Cellular Modulation
Extracellular ATP promotes growth, while adenosine inhibits it in Arabidopsis plants.
research Increased androgen receptor messenger RNA in frontal-parietal hair follicles of women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with hair loss have more androgen receptors in certain hair follicles.
research Extensive Challenges and Pending Advances in the Study of 5-Alpha-Reductase Isoenzymes. A Literature Review
5α-reductase enzymes are crucial in certain disorders, and while treatment advances exist, more research on SRD5A3 is needed.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research METABOLISM AND ACTION OF ANDROGEN IN THE SKIN
Androgens affect skin conditions like acne and hair loss through specific biochemical pathways.
research The role of nuclear hormone receptors in cutaneous wound repair
Nuclear hormone receptors play a significant role in skin wound healing and could lead to better treatment methods.
research Age-related downregulation of dihydrotestosterone-inactivating enzymes in human scalp sebaceous glands
As people age, certain enzymes in scalp glands decrease, affecting hair health.
research Theoretical Evaluation of Twenty-Cannabinoid Derivatives on Either Androgen Receptor or 5α-Reductase Enzyme
Some cannabinoid derivatives may be more effective than current drugs at targeting proteins relevant to prostate cancer treatment.
research Epitestosterone—an endogenous antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research Cleave but not leave: Astrotactin proteins in development and disease
Astrotactin proteins are important for brain and skin development and are linked to several neurodevelopmental disorders.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
