research Bioavailability File: Bicalutamide
Bicalutamide effectively treats prostate cancer but needs careful monitoring for side effects.
research Bisphenol-A antagonizes the rapidly modulating effect of DHT on spinogenesis and long-term potentiation of hippocampal neurons
Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.
research The peptide AC 2 isolated from Bacillus-treated Trapa japonica fruit extract rescues DHT (dihydrotestosterone)-treated human dermal papilla cells and mediates mTORC1 signaling for autophagy and apoptosis suppression
The AC 2 peptide from Trapa japonica fruit helps protect hair cells and may treat hair loss.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Oral Contraceptives as Anti-Androgenic Treatment of Acne
Birth control pills can help reduce mild to moderate acne in women.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Finasteride Enhances Stem Cell Signals of Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Finasteride boosts stem cell signals for hair growth.
research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Androgens modify Wnt agonists/antagonists expression balance in dermal papilla cells preventing hair follicle stem cell differentiation in androgenetic alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Resveratrol Ameliorates the Seminiferous Tubules Damages Induced by Finasteride in Adult Male Rats
Resveratrol helps prevent finasteride-induced damage in male rats, improving reproductive function.
research Testosterone Reduces Tight Junction Complexity and Down-regulates Expression of Claudin-4 and Occludin in the Endometrium in Ovariectomized, Sex-steroid Replacement Rats
Testosterone makes the connections in the uterus lining simpler and lowers certain protein levels, which might lead to infertility.
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 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 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 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 5α-reductase inhibitors
