research An Overview of Alopecias
The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Central 5-alpha reduction of testosterone is required for testosterone's inhibition of the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal axis response to restraint stress in adult male rats
Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.
research Specific morphogenetic events in mouse external genitalia sex differentiation are responsive/dependent upon androgens and/or estrogens
Mouse genital development depends on male or female hormones for specific features.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Increased Androgen Binding Capacity in Sebaceous Glands in Scalp of Male-pattern Baldness
Men with male-pattern baldness have more androgen receptors in their scalp's oil glands, which may contribute to hair loss.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Baldness and coronary artery disease: the dermatologic point of view of a controversial issue.
Men who go bald before 30 may have a higher risk of heart disease.
research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Finasteride in the treatment of hirsutism: new therapeutic perspectives
Finasteride effectively treats hirsutism in women, but more research needed for long-term results.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Promotion of Hair Growth byRosmarinus officinalisLeaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
research Actions of 5α-reductase inhibitors on the epididymis
5α-reductase inhibitors may reduce male fertility and could be used for male contraception.
research 5 Alpha-reductase inhibitors: whatʼs new?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Sex Steroids, Precursors, and Metabolite Deficiencies in Men With Isolated Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism and Panhypopituitarism: A GCMS-Based Comparative Study
Men with isolated hypogonadotropic hypogonadism have partial steroid deficiencies, while those with panhypopituitarism have severe deficiencies.
research Defects in Androgen Biosynthesis Causing 46,XY Disorders of Sexual Development
Genetic defects in androgen production are linked to male developmental disorders and are improving treatment understanding.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research Dutasteride
Dutasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate, reduces prostate cancer risk, and promotes hair regrowth with few side effects.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Ursolic acid reduces prostate size and dihydrotestosterone level in a rat model of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Ursolic acid can shrink the prostate and lower a hormone linked to prostate growth in rats.
research Genetic Analysis of Androgen Receptors in Development and Disease
The document concludes that the androgen receptor's structure and function are complex, affecting how it regulates genes and is involved in diseases like prostate cancer.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Hormonal status of male reproductive system: androgens and estrogens in the testis and epididymis. In vivo and in vitro approaches.
Androgens and estrogens are crucial for male reproductive health, affecting hormone levels and tissue function.
research Testosterone metabolism in the skin. A review of its function in androgenetic alopecia, acne vulgaris, and idiopathic hirsutism including recent studies with antiandrogens
Testosterone affects hair loss, acne, and excessive hair growth, and antiandrogens can help treat these conditions.
