research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Glycyrrhizic acid attenuates stem cell-like phenotypes of human dermal papilla cells
Glycyrrhizic acid may help reduce unwanted hair growth.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research Oral minoxidil bio‐activation by hair follicle outer root sheath cell sulfotransferase enzymes predicts clinical efficacy in female pattern hair loss
Minoxidil activation by hair enzymes predicts treatment success for female hair loss.
research Serotoninergic and melatoninergic systems are fully expressed in human skin

Removing Dicer from pigment cells in newborn mice causes early hair graying and changes in cell migration molecules.
research Estrogenic Potential of 2-Alkyl-4-(thio)chromenone 6-O-Sulfamates: Potent Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
A substance called Compound 2g can strongly block STS (a hormone-related enzyme) without affecting estrogen levels, making it potentially good for treating breast cancer.
research Proton Affinitive Derivatization for Highly Sensitive Determination of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone in Saliva Samples by LC-ESI-MS/MS
Using 5-butylpicolinate esters improves the sensitivity and reliability of detecting testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in saliva.
research Minoxidil Acts as an Antiandrogen: A Study of 5α-reductase Type 2 Gene Expression in a Human Keratinocyte Cell Line.

research Control of testosterone 5alpha-reductase activity in the human hyperplastic prostate
Inhibiting testosterone 5alpha-reductase may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Retinoic acid exerts sexually dimorphic effects on muscle energy metabolism and function
Retinoic acid affects male and female muscle energy use and function differently.
research Ethanol extract of asiasari radix preferentially induces apoptosis in G361 human melanoma cells by differential regulation of p53
Asiasari radix extract may be a potential treatment for melanoma because it selectively triggers cell death in melanoma cells by affecting p53 regulation.
research 458 UVB-induced facultative pigmentation is associated with distinct DNA methylation changes
Tanning ability is linked to specific DNA changes in skin genes.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5.alpha.-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.
research Determination of the potency of a novel saw palmetto supercritical CO2 extract (SPSE) for 5α-reductase isoform II inhibition using a cell-free in vitro test system
The new saw palmetto extract effectively inhibits an enzyme linked to prostate enlargement and may be as good as standard treatments.
research Bioassay-guided isolation of two antiproliferative metabolites from Pterocarpus indicus Willd. against TGF-β-induced prostate stromal cells (WPMY-1) proliferation via PI3K/AKT signaling pathway
Compounds from Pterocarpus indicus may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia by stopping cell growth.
research Arginine Transferase Activity In Homogenates From Guinea-Pig Hair Follicles
research Targeted expression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase increases susceptibility to chemically induced skin carcinogenesis
Increasing SSAT makes skin more prone to cancer.
research Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine represses hair follicle formation by inhibiting Sonic hedgehog expression in a NF-κB-independent manner
Nε-(carboxymethyl) lysine delays hair growth by blocking a key protein.
research Hair Growth Promoting Effects of 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase Inhibitor in Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
