Research
390-420 / 1000+ results research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1
Human bone cells mainly produce a type 1 enzyme that may help regulate bone health.
research Testosterone alters iron metabolism and stimulates red blood cell production independently of dihydrotestosterone
Testosterone boosts red blood cell production and changes iron metabolism without needing dihydrotestosterone.
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 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 Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Androgens Induce Nongenomic Stimulation of Colonic Contractile Activity through Induction of Calcium Sensitization and Phosphorylation of LC20 and CPI-17
Androgens like testosterone increase colon muscle contractions by affecting calcium pathways.
research The effect of polyphloretin phosphate, polyoestradiol phosphate, a diphosphonate and a polyphosphate on calcification induced by dihydrotachysterol in skin, aorta and kidney of rats
The diphosphonate was the most effective at preventing calcification in rats.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Hair growth promoting effect of white wax and policosanol from white wax on the mouse model of testosterone-induced hair loss
White wax and policosanol from white wax effectively reduced hair loss and promoted hair growth in mice better than a known hair growth drug.
research Synaptic Long-Term Potentiation and Depression in the Rat Medial Vestibular Nuclei Depend on Neural Activation of Estrogenic and Androgenic Signals
Estrogen and androgen signals control synaptic changes in rat brains.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research Androgens stimulate specific aspects of maternal nest-building and reduce food intake in rabbits
Androgens boost certain nest-building behaviors and greatly reduce food intake in rabbits.
research Medical management of male pattern hair loss
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow or halt hair loss, but may have side effects.
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 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Activation of Hair Cell Growth Factors by Linoleic Acid in Malva verticillata Seed
Linoleic acid from Malva verticillata seeds may help treat hair loss by promoting hair cell growth and blocking baldness signals.
research Effects of Lespedeza Cuneata aqueous extract on testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia
Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Comprehensive Review of Perilla frutescens: Chemical Composition, Pharmacological Mechanisms, and Industrial Applications in Food and Health Products
Perilla frutescens is a versatile herb with health benefits and potential in food and industrial uses.
research α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum attenuates benign prostatic hyperplasia in a rat model
α-spinasterol from Melandrium firmum can help reduce prostate enlargement.
research Androgen regulation of a specific gene in hamster flank organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Androgen receptor activation integrates complex transcriptional effects in osteoblasts, involving the growth factors TGF-β and IGF-I, and transcription factor C/EBPδ
DHT affects bone growth by altering gene activity in osteoblasts, potentially complicating steroid use.
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 The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Age‐dependent regulation by androgens of gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus and stress‐induced release of adrenal hormones in adolescent and adult male rats
