research Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research Assessment of tissue levels of dickkopf-1 in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata
Higher DKK-1 levels found in hair loss patients; L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, L-threonate, and ginsenoside F2 may help promote hair growth.
research Steady-state pharmacokinetics of oral testosterone undecanoate with concomitant inhibition of 5α-reductase by finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect oral testosterone undecanoate, and high DHT levels may cause acne, prostate issues, and hair loss.
research Medical treatment of male pattern alopecia (androgenic alopecia)
Topical minoxidil is the most promising treatment for male pattern hair loss, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
research Treatment of androgen excess in females: Yesterday, today and tomorrow
The document concludes that treating androgen excess needs patience, managing expectations is important, and many drugs used are not officially approved, suggesting cosmetic options for mild cases.
research Safety Profile of Finasteride: Distribution of Adverse Effects According to Structural and Informational Dichotomies of the Mind/Brain
Finasteride can cause sexual dysfunction and depression, which may persist and require hormonal treatment.
research A herbal formula, comprising Panax ginseng and bee-pollen, inhibits development of testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in male Wistar rats
A mix of Panax ginseng and bee-pollen may help prevent prostate enlargement in rats.
research Androgen Effects in Mammals
Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
research Administration of Caesalpinia bonduc Seed Extracts Ameliorates Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) in Male Wistar Rats
Caesalpinia bonduc seed extracts may help treat enlarged prostate in rats.
research Androgens downregulate BMP2 impairing the inductive role of dermal papilla cells on hair follicle stem cells differentiation
Androgens reduce BMP2, which weakens the ability of certain cells to help hair stem cells become different types of cells.
research Plants as potential active components in treatment of androgenetic alopecia
Plant extracts may help treat hormone-related hair loss.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Effects of Hura crepitans and Its Active Ingredient, Daphne Factor F3, on Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Neurotrophin-4 Activation and Hair Retardation
Hura crepitans and its compound daphne factor F3 may help treat hair loss by blocking a specific hair growth inhibitor.
research The influence of cyclosporine A therapy on sex hormone levels in pre- and post-menopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis
Cyclosporine A therapy changes sex hormone levels differently in pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women with primary biliary cirrhosis.
research Clinical Patterns of Hair Loss in Men
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand hair loss in men and to find new treatments.
research The involvement of androgens in human hair growth
Androgens play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness and excessive hairiness.
research Clinical use of 5α-reductase inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Effect and mechanism of Docosahexaenoic acid on the proliferation of dermal papilla cells
Docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) may help hair growth by promoting dermal papilla cell proliferation.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research An Update on Hair Restoration
Hair transplantation is the best treatment for hair loss, with new technologies improving results, and stem cell and gene therapies may treat severe baldness in the future.
research Entendendo a alopecia androgenética Understanding androgenetic alopecia Educação Médica Continuada
The document concludes that androgenetic alopecia is common, has a genetic link, and can be diagnosed and treated with medications like finasteride and minoxidil.
research Opções terapêuticas e perspectivas no tratamento da alopecia androgenética
The document concludes that more research is needed on treatments for hair loss in both men and women, especially on medication combinations and their benefits.
research Treat androgenetic alopecia with antiandrogens, as well as other pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions
