research Abietic Acid from Resina Pini of Pinus Species as a Testosterone 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor
Abietic acid from pine resin can effectively inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research Androgens trigger different growth responses in genetically identical human hair follicles in organ culture that reflect their epigenetic diversity in life
Male hormones cause different growth in identical human hair follicles due to their unique epigenetic characteristics.
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 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Components as Antiandrogens From Herbal Medicine
A plant extract was found to effectively block an enzyme related to male hormone-related diseases.
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 Evaluation of RU58841 as an Anti-Androgen in Prostate PC3 Cells and a Topical Anti-Alopecia Agent in the Bald Scalp of Stumptailed Macaques
RU58841, a nonsteroidal anti-androgen, showed potential as a topical treatment for hair loss, increasing hair density, thickness, and length without systemic side effects in Stumptailed Macaques.
research N-Acyl arylsulfonamides as novel, reversible inhibitors of human steroid sulfatase
Scientists found new, better-working inhibitors for a hormone-related enzyme.
research High‐dose mizoribine treatment for adolescents with systemic lupus erythematosus
High-dose mizoribine effectively controls symptoms in adolescents with lupus while reducing steroid use, with manageable side effects.
research Ability to culture dermal papilla cells from red deer (Cervus elaphus) hair follicles with differing hormonal responses in vivo offers a new model for studying the control of hair follicle biology
Red deer hair cells offer a new way to study how hormones affect hair growth.
research Lack of Effect of a Spironolactone-Containing Cream on Hair Growth in Hirsute Women
The spironolactone cream did not reduce hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Dengue Virus Infects Primary Human Hair Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Dengue virus can infect human hair follicle cells and may cause hair loss.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Tertiary hypothyroidism in a dog
A dog with a pituitary tumor developed tertiary hypothyroidism, improved with treatment, but was later euthanized due to neurological issues.
research Disorders of hair in infants and children other than alopecia
A mushroom extract might reduce hair loss and liver damage caused by certain chemotherapy drugs in animals.
research Regeneration of a bioengineered 3D integumentary organ system from iPS cells
Scientists created a functional 3D skin system from stem cells that can be transplanted into wounds.
research Endocrinology Update: Hirsutism.
Hirsutism involves excessive hair growth due to hormonal issues and can be treated with medication or surgery.
research Lack of effect of topical finasteride suggests an endocrine role for dihydrotestosterone
Topical finasteride doesn't reduce DHT levels, hinting at an endocrine role in hair loss.
research The effect of testosterone, cyproterone acetate, and minoxidil on hair loss in the androchronogenetic alopecia mouse
The mouse model could be useful for baldness research and testing treatments like testosterone, cyproterone acetate, and minoxidil.

Hair loss gene linked to prostate issues.
research [Dermatologic aspects of male hypogonadism].
Male hypogonadism affects skin and hair, causing thin skin, less hair, and skin reactions to treatment.
research Consumption of a low-carbohydrate and high-fat diet (the ketogenic diet) exaggerates biotin deficiency in mice
The ketogenic diet can worsen biotin deficiency, suggesting a need for biotin supplements.
research A controlled study of the effects of RU58841, a non-steroidal antiandrogen, on human hair production by balding scalp grafts maintained on testosterone-conditioned nude mice
RU58841 significantly increases hair growth rate and initiates more hair cycles, but doesn't affect hair thickness, suggesting it could be a new treatment for baldness.
research Hirsuties
Hirsutism in women is often due to hormone sensitivity and has significant psychological effects.
