570-600 / 1000+ results research Identification of dkk4 as a target of Eda-A1/Edar pathway reveals an unexpected role of ectodysplasin as inhibitor of Wnt signalling in ectodermal placodes
Ectodysplasin inhibits Wnt signaling to help form hair follicles.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Oral administration of low-dose bisphenol A promotes proliferation of ventral prostate and upregulates prostaglandin D2 synthase expression in adult rats
Low doses of BPA can increase prostate growth and change hormone levels in adult rats.
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 5α-reductase inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Ethanol changes GABAA receptor α4 subunit levels through phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
research Discovery and Clinical Development of Dutasteride, a Potent Dual 5α- Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic hyperplasia and may reduce prostate cancer risk.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Myotonic Dystrophy—A Progeroid Disease?
Myotonic dystrophy may be classified as a segmental progeroid disorder.
research Vitamin D-dependent rickets type II. Defective induction of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3-24-hydroxylase by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 in cultured skin fibroblasts.
Measuring 24-OHase induction helps identify defects in vitamin D processing and predict treatment response.
research Functional analysis of vitamin D receptor (VDR) using adenovirus vector
The study found that certain mutations in the vitamin D receptor can cause rickets and potentially affect hair growth.
research Dutasteride Topical Gel Containing Herbal Extract for Male Pattern Baldness
A gel with dutasteride and 10% garlic extract may effectively treat male pattern baldness.
research Immunohistochemical expressions of mGluR5, P2Y2 receptor, PLC-?1, and IP3R-I and -II in Merkel cells in rat sinus hair follicles
research Increased expression of the gene for the Y1 receptor of neuropeptide Y in the amygdala and paraventricular nucleus of Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice in response to restraint stress
Acute stress increases Y1 receptor gene expression in certain brain areas, but repeated stress does not.
research Hair Metal Dysregulation in Parkinson's Disease: Implications for Diagnosis and Gut-Brain Axis Involvement
research Characterization of Rickets Type II Model Rats to Reveal Functions of Vitamin D and Vitamin D Receptor
The research showed that Vitamin D and its receptor are important for healthy bones and normal hair and skin in rats.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Regulation of Receptor Binding Specificity of FGF9 by an Autoinhibitory Homodimerization
FGF9 controls which receptors it binds to through a process where two FGF9 molecules join, and changes in FGF9 can lead to incorrect receptor activation.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Mandibulofacial dysostosis with alopecia results from ETAR gain-of-function mutations via allosteric effects on ligand binding
Specific mutations in a receptor cause facial abnormalities and hair loss.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
research Synthesis and structure–activity studies of side-chain derivatized arylhydantoins for investigation as androgen receptor radioligands
The nature of the side chain in RU 58841 derivatives greatly affects its AR affinity, with the N-(iodopropenyl) derivative 13 showing the highest AR binding affinity, suggesting its potential for developing high-affinity radioiodinated AR radioligands.
research Restoration of hair growth with topical diphencyprone in mouse and rat models of alopecia areata
Topical diphencyprone helped regrow hair in mice and rats with a condition similar to human hair loss.
research Effect of neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone on the higher nervous activity of old non-human primates
