Pterostilbene significantly reduces prostate enlargement and has strong antioxidant effects.
research 5α- Reductase Inhibitors in Prostate Cancer: An Overview
5α-reductase inhibitors like Finasteride and Dutasteride may help manage prostate cancer by blocking testosterone conversion.
research The biphasic regulatory effect of diphencyprone on mouse hair growth and its relation to protein kinase C isoforms
Diphencyprone initially increases mouse hair growth, then slows it, possibly due to changes in specific protein levels.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Regulation of somatic cell reprogramming through inducible mir-302 expression
Increasing mir-302 turns human hair cells into stem cells by changing gene regulation and demethylation.
research Anatomy and Physiology of the Skin
The skin's layers protect, sense, and regulate the body's internal balance, but can be prone to cancer.
