research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Guava (Psidium guajava L.) Leaf Extract as Bioactive Substances for Anti-Androgen and Antioxidant Activities
Guava leaf extract may help treat hair loss and protect cells by blocking certain genes and fighting damaging molecules.
research Circulating and intraprostatic sex steroid hormonal profiles in relation to male pattern baldness and chest hair density among men diagnosed with localized prostate cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research TR3 is preferentially expressed by bulge epithelial stem cells in human hair follicles
TR3 is mainly found in hair follicle stem cells and may be involved in hair loss.
research Pharmacokinetics of Modified Slow-Release Oral Testosterone Over 9 Days in Normal Men With Experimental Hypogonadism
The new oral testosterone pill normalized testosterone levels and lowered SHBG in men with low testosterone.
research UV light may induce hypertrichosis through production of PGE2
UV light might cause excessive hair growth by increasing PGE2 in the skin.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase in the rat prostate by Cimicifuga racemosa
Cimicifuga racemosa extract may help prevent and treat prostate issues by inhibiting 5α-reductase.
research URB expression in human dermal papilla cells
The gene URB is more active in human hair growth cells and responds to a hair-related hormone.
research An update on the use of 5alpha-reductase inhibitors
5alpha-reductase inhibitors help treat hair loss and prostate issues but may cause sexual side effects.
research The benefits of finasteride for hirsute women with polycystic ovary syndrome or idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride effectively reduces excess hair in women with certain conditions.
research Pharmacodynamic modeling of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.
Finasteride, a drug that changes testosterone to a different hormone, was studied and its effects over time were modeled successfully.
research Bone density is normal in male rats treated with finasteride
Finasteride doesn't affect bone density in male rats.
research Chapter 23. Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Side gland of Suncus murinus as a new model of sebaceous gland: 5?-reductase, androgen receptor, and nuclear androgen content in male and female animals
The side gland of Suncus murinus is a good model for studying human sebaceous glands.
research Pharmacological aspects of hair follicle growth
Minoxidil and 4-MA can help treat hair loss.
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 The mineralization of hair follicle tissue
Hair follicles in injured skin can quickly accumulate minerals, especially calcium and phosphorus.
research METABOLISM OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE BY ISOLATED HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES
Human hair follicles can process steroid hormones like DHEA.
research RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ALOPECIAS
Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.
research Evolution, classification, structure, and functional diversification of steroid 5α-reductase family in eukaryotes
Steroid 5α-reductase evolved from protists and diversified in eukaryotes, with specific roles in mammals and plants.
research Application of Marine Microbial Natural Products in Cosmetics
Marine microbes could be used in cosmetics for sun protection, skin care, and possibly preventing hair loss.
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 Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Long-Term Experience With 5-alpha-Reductase Inhibitors.
Finasteride reduces prostate size and symptoms with few side effects.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Classification scale for male and female androgenetic alopecia.
