research Glucose and acetate metabolism by isolated sheep wool follicles
Sheep wool follicles can metabolize both glucose and acetate using different pathways important for wool growth.
research Targeting the pre-receptor metabolism of cortisol as a novel therapy in obesity and diabetes
Blocking a specific enzyme might help treat obesity and diabetes, but more research is needed to ensure it's safe.
research Modulation of glucocorticoid action and the treatment of type-2 diabetes
Targeting glucocorticoid action might help treat type-2 diabetes, but human trials are needed.

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 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes
Inhibitors of 11β-HSD1 show potential for treating type 2 diabetes but require more testing for safety and effectiveness.
research Expression of NAD+dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase and protection of prostaglandins in human hair follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research Glucose metabolism regulates expression of hair-inductive genes of dermal papilla spheres via histone acetylation
Hair growth genes work better with more glucose due to changes in gene-regulating markers.
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 Lactate dehydrogenase activity drives hair follicle stem cell activation
Lactate production is important for activating hair growth stem cells.
