research Core-shell nanocarriers based on PEGylated hydrophobic hyperbranched polyesters
The new nanocarriers improve how well water-insoluble drugs dissolve and allow for controlled drug release.
research Effect of cyproterone acetate on rate of hair growth in hirsute females
Cyproterone acetate reduced hair growth in most hirsute females and made hair softer, thinner, and lighter.
research Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD determination of dansyl amino acids in chemically treated human hair
A new method accurately measures amino acids in treated hair, showing bleaching reduces amino acids while protein treatments increase them.
research Formulation, Selection, Physical Properties and Antifungal Effect Evaluation of Semi-solid Dosage Forms with Organic Acids
Cinnamic acid in hydrogels can effectively fight fungi but spreads less than in solution.
research A comparative study of Aldactone® and Diane® in the treatment of hirsutism
Aldactone was more effective in reducing hair growth in women with hirsutism than Diane, despite having less impact on hormone levels.
research FACILE WATER MEDIATED SYNTHESIS OF FINASTERIDE FORM-I, AN AZAANDROSTANE STEROID
A simple and eco-friendly method was developed to make finasteride Form-I using water.
research Modulating metal-organic frameworks by surface engineering of stearic acid modification for follicular drug delivery and enhanced hair growth promotion
Modified frameworks with stearic acid enhance drug delivery and promote hair growth.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
research 4 Anti-androgens in gynaecological practice
Cyproterone acetate is effective for treating hirsutism and acne in women by blocking androgens in the skin and also works as a contraceptive.
research In Vitro Performance of Dutasteride-Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan Oligomer for Dermal Delivery
Dutasteride-loaded nanoparticles coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan show promise for treating hair loss due to their controlled release, low toxicity, and potential to stimulate hair growth.
research Severe pustular lesions induced by topical immunotherapy with squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia totalis
Squaric acid dibutylester can cause severe skin reactions in people with allergies.
research Enzalutamide/finasteride/goserelin/zoledronic-acid
research Comparison of Polynucleotide and Polydeoxyribonucleotide in Dermatology: Molecular Mechanisms and Clinical Perspectives
PN hydrates skin; PDRN heals and regenerates skin and hair.
research Finasteride/testosterone undecanoate
Testosterone undecanoate caused hair loss; finasteride improved it but caused stomach issues for one patient.
research DETERMINATION OF FINASTERIDE AND RELATED COMPOUNDS BY REVERSED-PHASE HIGH PERFORMANCE LIQUID CHROMATOGRAPHY. I. CHOOSING THE MOBILE PHASE COMPOSITION
Best results found using acetonitrile, water, and trifluoroacetic acid or methanol mixture.
research The effect of polyphloretin phosphate, polyoestradiol phosphate, a diphosphonate and a polyphosphate on calcification induced by dihydrotachysterol in skin, aorta and kidney of rats
The diphosphonate was the most effective at preventing calcification in rats.
research Evaluation of the effect of formic acid and sodium formate on hair reduction in rat
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Thrombotic risk minimization for Diane‐35 and generics
The use of Diane-35 and its generics significantly decreased in the Netherlands.
research A Natural Inhibitor, 1′S-1′-Acetoxychavicol Acetate, Against Testosterone-Induced Alopecia via NADPH Oxidase Regulation
1′S-1′-Acetoxychavicol acetate may help treat hair loss by reducing oxidative stress.
research Diphenyl ethers as androgen receptor antagonists for the topical suppression of sebum production
Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.
research Proteolytic depilation of lambskins : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of philosophy in Bioprocess Engineering at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand
A successful enzyme depilation system needs a broad-spectrum protease that doesn't harm collagen VI.
research Anti-androgenetic effect of diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells
Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol may help treat hair loss better than current medications.
research Hyaluronic acid microneedles enhance transdermal delivery of minoxidil derivatives with 1,2,4-oxadiazole-5-one unit for effective hair regeneration: Insights from X-ray crystallography and animal models
Hyaluronic acid microneedles help deliver minoxidil derivatives effectively for hair regrowth.
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.
