240-270 / 1000+ resultsresearch Progesterone in gender-affirming therapy of trans women
Progesterone may help trans women with breast development and health, but more research is needed.
research Steroid inhibitors of androgen-potentiated actions on skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research In vitro [7-3H]-testosterone metabolism by the rat ventral prostate—Effect of some exogenous compounds
![Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of 8-Substituted Benzo[ƒ]Quinolinones Derived from Palladium Mediated Coupling Reactions](/images/assets/2aedba8c-b0ac-4fa3-9ac7-9f375a016bba/small/15581.jpg)
research Synthesis and 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of 8-substituted benzo[ƒ]quinolinones derived from palladium mediated coupling reactions
Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.
research News & Notes
Loop diuretics may double bone loss in elderly men, finasteride lowers prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors, abarelix reduces testosterone quickly, and transdermal testosterone offers minimal sexual benefit for women.
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 The efficacy of an adjuvant norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy in endometrial cancer
Norethisterone (jenapharm) therapy is effective for endometrial cancer.
research Atherogenesis: Estrogen Induction of Polysialylated nCAM (PSA-nCAM) Blocks Monocyte Capture by Vascular Endothelial Cells
Estrogen helps prevent artery plaque by stopping monocyte capture in blood vessels.
research Progesterone-induced spike-wave discharges are inhibited by finasteride
Finasteride blocks progesterone's effect on brain activity linked to epilepsy.
research Critical Analysis on Characterization, Systemic Effect, and Therapeutic Potential of Beta-Sitosterol: A Plant-Derived Orphan Phytosterol
Beta-sitosterol has potential health benefits but needs more research to fully understand its effects and improve its use in treatments.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Highly efficient nucleophilic addition of alkyl Grignard reagents to 17-ketosteroids in the presence of cerium(III) chloride: Synthesis of 17α-propyl-17β-hydroxy-4-androsten-3-one, an androgen receptor antagonist
Adding cerium(III) chloride to Grignard reagents improves the making of compounds that could treat prostate issues and hair loss.
research 17β-Estradiol and ICI-182780 regulate the hair follicle cycle in mice through an estrogen receptor-α pathway
Estradiol stops hair growth in mice, but an antagonist can reverse this effect.
research Changes in expression of the δ subunit of the GABAAreceptor and in receptor function induced by progesterone exposure and withdrawal
Progesterone affects GABAA receptor function by altering δ subunit levels.
research Incident Rosacea and Related Dermatoses in Estrogen-Exposed Females: A Large-Scale Age-Stratified Cohort Study
research Regulation of epidermal proliferation and hair follicle cycling by synthetic photostable retinoid EC23
The synthetic retinoid EC23 thickens skin and promotes hair growth more effectively and with a lower dose than natural retinoids.
research Miscellaneous Exogenous Hormones and Breast Diseases: A Matter of Concern for the Gynecologist
Some hormone treatments might raise breast cancer risk, while others don't seem to.
research Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry-Based In Vitro Metabolic Profiling Reveals Altered Enzyme Expressions in Eicosanoid Metabolism
The method reliably profiles eicosanoids and shows epitestosterone reduces their levels, similar to common anti-inflammatory drugs.
research The effects of benzodiazepines on hormones in women with idiopathic hirsutism
Benzodiazepines changed hormone levels but did not affect hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism.
research FDA declines approval of testosterone drug for third time
The FDA rejected a testosterone drug again due to safety concerns.
research In vivo and in vitro effect of novel 4,16-pregnadiene-6,20-dione derivatives, as 5α-reductase inhibitors
The new compounds may be more effective and cheaper than current treatments for conditions like baldness.
research Miscellaneous Steroids
The document concludes that scientists created various steroids with different properties, including a more effective semi-synthetic vitamin D.
research Identification of xenobiotics interfering with 5 α -reductase (SRD5A2) activity
MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme.
research 76532 Estetrol (E4) prolongs anagen in healthy and female pattern hair loss hair follicles ex vivo
Estetrol (E4) can help hair grow longer by extending its growth phase.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Reply from the Authors
The authors confirmed that β-estradiol inhibits hair growth in mice when used at the correct concentration.
research Risk of estrogen-driven malignancies in females on 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
research Levonorgestrel effects on serum androgens, sex hormone–binding globulin levels, hair shaft diameter, and sexual function
research Roles of p38- and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated pathways in 2-methoxyestradiol-induced p53 induction and apoptosis
2-Methoxyestradiol causes cancer cell death by activating specific pathways, but androgens can block this effect.
