research Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation/Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Diagnosis and management of the dermatologic manifestations of the polycystic ovary syndrome
The document concludes that accurate diagnosis and personalized treatment are important for skin problems in women with PCOS.
research Autologous Cellular Method Using Micrografts of Human Adipose Tissue Derived Follicle Stem Cells in Androgenic Alopecia
Using human fat tissue derived stem cells in micrografts can safely and effectively increase hair density in people with hair loss.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Relationship Between Contact Time of Applied Dose and Percutaneous Absorption of Minoxidil From a Topical Solution
Longer contact time increases minoxidil absorption, but doesn't affect metabolism.
research Lack of a gonadal or adrenal androgenic mechanism for the hypertrichosis produced by diazoxide, phenytoin and minoxidil
These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.
research The Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic and Lockdown on Alcohol Consumption: A Perspective From Hair Analysis
Overall alcohol consumption decreased during lockdown, but heavy drinkers consumed more.
research Plasma androsterone/epiandrosterone sulfates as markers of 5α-reductase activity: Effect of finasteride in normal men
Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.
research Long‐pulsed ruby laser‐assisted hair removal in male‐to‐female transsexuals
Long-pulsed ruby laser effectively reduces hair in male-to-female transsexuals.
research Rates of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) symptoms in relatives of patients with PCOS
Female relatives of PCOS patients have a higher chance of showing PCOS symptoms.
research Micro-segmental analysis of the entry pathway and distribution of zolpidem in hair from different scalp regions after a single dose
Zolpidem shows up in hair from the top back of the head after one dose and fades over time, suggesting it gets into hair through blood and sweat.
research Natural products reverse cancer multidrug resistance
Natural products can help overcome cancer drug resistance.
research Comprehensive analysis of differences in cashmere production performance in Liaoning cashmere goats by using metabolomics and transcriptomics
Liaoning cashmere goats grow more cashmere by boosting fat production, supporting hair structure, and controlling inflammation.
research ATP-competitive mTOR kinase inhibitors delay plant growth by triggering early differentiation of meristematic cells but no developmental patterning change
Certain inhibitors slow down plant growth by causing early cell specialization without changing the cell development pattern.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS often have skin problems like excessive hair, acne, hair loss, and dark patches, which can be treated with hormonal and non-hormonal therapies.
research Pathways to inflammation: acne pathophysiology
Acne is caused by genetics, diet, hormones, and bacteria, with treatments not yet curative.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research The human gut chemical landscape predicts microbe-mediated biotransformation of foods and drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Comparison of finasteride and flutamide in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride and flutamide both reduce hair growth, but finasteride has fewer side effects.
research Combined Oral Contraception and Bicalutamide in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Severe Hirsutism: A Double-Blind Randomized Controlled Trial
Birth control pills combined with bicalutamide are more effective at reducing excessive hair growth in women with PCOS than birth control pills alone.
research The Pharmacokinetics of 2.5- to 10-mg Oral Doses of Minoxidil in Healthy Volunteers
This document studied minoxidil in healthy volunteers. Minoxidil is quickly absorbed and eliminated from the body.
research Intermittent Low-Dose Finasteride Administration Is Effective for Treatment of Hirsutism in Adolescent Girls: A Pilot Study
Low-dose finasteride reduces excessive hair growth in teenage girls safely and affordably.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in the Male
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Apocrine sweat gland obstruction by antiperspirants allowing transdermal absorption of cutaneous generated hormones and pheromones as a link to the observed incidence rates of breast and prostate cancer in the 20th century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research The direct inhibitory effect of dutasteride or finasteride on androgen receptor activity is cell line specific
Dutasteride and finasteride affect different cell types differently.
research Improved forensic hair evidence for drugs of abuse by mass spectrometry
Forensic hair analysis for drugs is now more reliable and accurate.
