Adenosine receptors could be promising targets for treating inflammatory skin diseases like psoriasis.
research Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Quantification of the Vitamin D Receptor−Coregulator Interaction
Vitamin D receptor binds similarly to natural and synthetic ligands, affecting gene regulation.
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 Impaired Hair Growth and Wound Healing in Mice Lacking Thyroid Hormone Receptors
Thyroid hormone receptors are essential for hair growth and wound healing.
research The selective androgen receptor modulator GTx‐024 (enobosarm) improves lean body mass and physical function in healthy elderly men and postmenopausal women: results of a double‐blind, placebo‐controlled phase II trial
Enobosarm significantly increased muscle mass and improved physical function in elderly men and postmenopausal women without serious side effects.
research GABAAreceptor modulation by neurosteroids in models of temporal lobe epilepsies
Neurosteroids change how GABA_A receptors work in the brain, which could be important for treating temporal lobe epilepsy.
research Cutaneous consequences of inhibiting EGF receptor signaling in vivo: Normal hair follicle development, but retarded hair cycle induction and inhibition of adipocyte growth in EgfrWa5 mice
Reduced EGFR signaling delays hair cycle and reduces fat growth, but hair development remains normal.
research Androgen Action in the Ovary
Androgens are important for normal ovarian function and estrogen production, but may not be the main cause of follicle death.
research The Impact of Glucagon-like Peptide-1 Receptor Agonists on Erectile Function: Friend or Foe?
The effect of GLP-1 RAs on erectile function is unclear and needs more research.
research LH Induces Murine Hair Loss through TRPC-Medicated Cell Aging Responses: Implications for Female Pattern Hair Loss Pathogenesis
High LH levels cause hair loss by damaging and aging hair follicles.
research Effects of short photoperiod on cashmere growth, hormone concentrations and hair follicle development-related gene expression in cashmere goats
Short photoperiods improve cashmere growth and quality in goats by changing hormone levels and gene expression.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
