research Trypanocidal Effect of Isotretinoin through the Inhibition of Polyamine and Amino Acid Transporters in Trypanosoma cruzi
Isotretinoin shows promise as a treatment for Chagas disease by effectively inhibiting key transporters in the parasite.
research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Drug Repurposing - Hypothesis, Molecular Aspects and Therapeutic Applications
Drug repurposing is a cost-effective way to find new uses for existing drugs, speeding up treatment development.
research Contribution of the Hair Follicular Pathway to Total Skin Permeation of Topically Applied and Exposed Chemicals
The hair follicle pathway significantly affects how easily water-loving chemicals pass through the skin.
research Clinical and hormonal effects of the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism.
Finasteride reduces hair growth and is safe for women with excessive hair.
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 Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research The therapeutic potential of CRTH2/DP2 beyond allergy and asthma
CRTH2 antagonists might be useful for treating many conditions because they play a role in immune and inflammation responses.
research The effects of minoxidil on pulmonary and systemic hemodynamics in hypertensive man.
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure and increases heart efficiency, but may raise lung artery pressure in some people.
research Chapter 17. Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research A regulatory perspective on pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic modelling
The document concludes that PK/PD modeling is important for determining the safe and effective dosages of drugs.
research Neonatal finasteride administration alters hippocampal α4 and δ GABAAR subunits expression and behavioural responses to progesterone in adult rats
research An intergenerational androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in the cooperatively breeding meerkat
Androgens in female meerkats influence aggression and dominance, affecting social dynamics and offspring behavior.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Compilation of a comprehensive gene panel for systematic assessment of genes that govern an individual’s drug responses
Researchers found that most genes affecting drug responses are not fully covered by commercial SNP chips, suggesting the need for more comprehensive tools to optimize drug selection based on genetics.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
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 Drug eruptions in dermatology
Skin reactions to drugs are common and can be deadly, usually requiring stopping the drug and may be better prevented with genetic testing in the future.
research Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol, Isolated from Ishige okamurae, Increases Prostaglandin E2through the Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in HaCaT Human Keratinocytes
A compound from brown algae boosts the production of a certain inflammatory substance in skin cells.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Evaluation of the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride on reproduction and gonadal development in medaka, Oryzias latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Optimization of the method for the culture of melanocyte precursors from hair follicles and their activation by 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3
1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 helps melanocyte precursors from hair follicles grow and produce melanin, aiding vitiligo treatment understanding.
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 Non-rhizobial nodule endophytes improve nodulation, change root exudation pattern and promote the growth of lentil, for prospective application in fallow soil
Certain bacteria can boost lentil growth and improve soil used for farming.
research Immune-Mediated Diseases of the Central Nervous System
The document explains the difficulty in diagnosing and treating brain diseases caused by the immune system and stresses the need for quick and accurate tests.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
