research Endocrine control of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Age-related changes in brain and pituitary 5α-reductase with finasteride (Proscar) treatment
Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.
research Dihydrotestosterone Regulates Hair Growth Through the Wnt/β-Catenin Pathway in C57BL/6 Mice and In Vitro Organ Culture
Dihydrotestosterone affects hair growth by changing the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, with low levels helping and high levels hindering growth.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research 5α-reductase activity in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Women with PCOS have higher 5α-reductase activity, which may be linked to insulin resistance.
research Corn silk extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia in experimental rat model
Corn silk extract helps reduce prostate enlargement symptoms.
research Hypothalamic DNA methylation in rats with dihydrotestosterone‐induced polycystic ovary syndrome: effects of low‐frequency electro‐acupuncture
Electro-acupuncture may help treat PCOS in rats by changing brain DNA methylation.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Skin diseases in consequence of endocrine alterations
Hormone imbalances can cause skin diseases, and understanding these links is important for diagnosis and treatment.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors - a new hope in dermatology?
Finasteride shows promise for treating hair loss and excessive hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.
research 25 years of ERβ: a personal journey
ERβ has potential in treating prostate cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, but human studies are needed before clinical use.
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 Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Rodent models in placental research. Implications for fetal origins of adult disease
Using rodents for research shows that health problems in the womb can cause diseases later in life.
research The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycaemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver
Finasteride-treated male rats' offspring had altered glucose metabolism, potentially increasing diabetes risk.
research Relation of urinary stone disease with androgenetic alopecia and serum testosterone levels
Balding and low testosterone increase risk of urinary stones.
research Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome: Exploring Hypertension and Cardiometabolic Implications
PCOS may increase the risk of high blood pressure and heart issues.
research A role for steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in vascular remodeling during endometrial decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Low Anabolic Profile in Assessing a Patients Overall Hair Loss
Some supplements and hormones can increase hair loss by raising DHT levels.
research Skin as a Window to Endocrine Dysfunction: Dermatological and Metabolic Interactions in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Skin issues in PCOS signal hormone problems, and combined treatments improve outcomes.
research A brief report on PCOS: and its inducing model
PCOS causes hormonal imbalance, leading to symptoms like irregular periods and infertility.
research Formulation and evaluation of beta-sitosterol enriched herbal scalp serum
The herbal scalp serum may help hair growth by reducing DHT levels.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
