Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Influence of substance-P on cultured sebocytes
Substance P may worsen acne by increasing inflammation, but corticosteroids might help by reducing this effect.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
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.
