research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research ERG induces androgen receptor-mediated regulation of SOX9 in prostate cancer
ERG increases SOX9, promoting prostate cancer growth and invasion.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Cutaneous Blood Flow in Human Balding Scalps: Pharmacodynamics Measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Photopulse Plethysmography
Minoxidil increases blood flow in balding scalps, possibly reversing hair loss.
research Testosterone modulation of seizure susceptibility is mediated by neurosteroids 3α-androstanediol and 17β-estradiol
Testosterone increases seizure risk through its conversion to specific neurosteroids.
research Stress exposure modulates peptidergic innervation and degranulates mast cells in murine skin
Stress increases nerve fibers and immune cell activity in mouse skin, possibly worsening skin conditions.
research Changes in hair weight and hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, after application of 5% and 2% topical minoxidil, placebo, or no treatment
Minoxidil increases hair weight and count temporarily in men with hair loss.
research Obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome
Obesity increases the risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome, and weight loss can improve the condition.
research Changes in Expression and Function of Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors in the Rat Hippocampus during Pregnancy and after Delivery
Pregnancy increases certain GABAA receptors in rat brains, influenced by steroid levels.
research Neuronal plasticity of the “brain–skin connection”: stress-triggered up-regulation of neuropeptides in dorsal root ganglia and skin via nerve growth factor-dependent pathways
Stress increases certain chemicals in the skin and nerves, which might worsen skin conditions.
research Changes in hair weight in men with androgenetic alopecia after treatment with finasteride (1 mg daily): Three- and 4-year results
Finasteride increases hair weight and count in men with hair loss, with best results after four years.
research Changes in hair weight and hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia after treatment with finasteride, 1 mg, daily
Finasteride increases hair weight and count in men with hair loss.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
Androgens increase a growth factor in hair cells by creating reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants might help treat hair loss.
research Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Involvement of 4‐hydroxy‐2‐nonenal in pollution‐induced skin damage
Pollution increases a compound in the skin that can lead to faster aging and more inflammation.
research Regulation of microvascular permeability by vascular endothelial growth factors
VEGFs increase blood vessel permeability, especially in diseases like cancer and heart disease.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Cortisol Enhances the Expression of mac25/Insulin-Like Growth Factor-Binding Protein-Related Protein-1 in Cultured Osteoblasts**This work was supported by NIDDK Grant DK-45227 and a scholarship (to R.C.P.) from Fundacao Coordenacao de Aperfeicoa mento de Pessoal de Nivel Superior (CAPES), Universidade de Sao Paulo (Sao Paulo, Brazil).
Cortisol increases a specific protein in bone cells, which may help explain its negative effects on bone.
research Kenogen in Female Androgenetic Alopecia
Kenogen increases with hair loss in women.
research Influence of massage and occlusion on the ex vivo skin penetration of rigid liposomes and invasomes
Massage increases how deep both rigid and flexible liposomes can go into skin, with flexible ones going deeper, and covering the skin (occlusion) helps rigid ones more.
