research Neurosteroids, neuroactive steroids, and symptoms of affective disorders
Certain steroids in the brain affect mood and symptoms of depression, and treatments targeting these steroids show promise for improving these symptoms.
research Melanocortin receptor type 2 (MC2R, ACTH receptor) expression in patients with alopecia areata
Lower MC2R expression may contribute to alopecia areata.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Basics of androgen synthesis and action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Corticotropin-releasing hormone: An autocrine hormone that promotes lipogenesis in human sebocytes
CRH promotes fat production in skin cells, affecting conditions like acne.
research Acne and sebaceous gland function
Effective acne treatments should reduce sebum, bacteria, and inflammation, with isotretinoin being the best for severe cases.
research Local Actions of Thyrotropin-Releasing Hormone Regulate Hair Color
TRH in hair follicles can influence hair color by increasing melanin.
research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
DHEA affects various tissues by interacting with multiple receptors and can be converted into sex hormones.
research Localization, Age- and Site-Dependent Expression, and Regulation of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Skin
Increased 11β-HSD1 activity in skin may contribute to aging and could be targeted to reduce aging effects.
research Radiofrequency Currents Modulate Inflammatory Processes in Keratinocytes
CRET therapy affects inflammation in skin cells by changing cytokine levels and activating certain proteins.
research Increased CRHR1 expression on monocytes from patients with AA enables a pro‐inflammatory response to corticotrophin‐releasing hormone
Higher CRHR1 levels in AA patients lead to increased inflammation.
research Neuroendocrinology of the hair follicle: principles and clinical perspectives
Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.
research 11β-Hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 inhibitors for the treatment of type 2 diabetes

IL-33 is linked to hair follicle damage in psoriasis and could be a treatment target for hair loss in this condition.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS FOR CLINICAL USE OF ANTIANDROGENS
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of esters of 16-formyl-17-methoxy-dehydroepiandrosterone derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 2
Certain derivatives are more effective 5α-reductase type 2 inhibitors than finasteride.
research Hormonal interventions in skin wounds – a mini review
Hormones can improve wound healing by regulating the healing process.
