research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β -HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors:Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Long-term Oral Administration of 5α-reductase Inhibitor Attenuates Erectile Function by Inhibiting Autophagy and Promoting Apoptosis of Smooth Muscle Cells in Corpus Cavernosum of Aged Rats
Long-term use of a certain medication can worsen erectile function in aged rats by damaging penile muscle cells.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research Cloning, computational analysis and expression profiling of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 (SRD5A1) gene during reproductive phases and ovatide stimulation in endangered catfish, Clarias magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research Hair aging and anti-aging
Hair ages due to various factors and treatments like minoxidil and finasteride can help, but more research and better public awareness are needed.
research Advancements in Bioactive Compounds and Therapeutic Agents for Alopecia: Trends and Future Perspectives
New treatments for alopecia show promise in restoring hair growth by targeting immune and hormonal factors.
research Pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research DHT deficiency perturbs the integrity of the rat seminiferous epithelium by disrupting tight and adherens junctions
DHT deficiency can disrupt cell connections in rat testes, possibly affecting fertility.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Is the metabolism of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone required for androgen action in the skin?
Testosterone conversion to 5α-DHT may not be essential for its effects on the skin.
research Intracrinology and Testosterone Pellet Therapy: An Enzyme-Aware, Symptom-Driven Approach to Hormone Optimization in Aging
Testosterone pellet therapy may better address hormone imbalances in aging by focusing on local hormone production and symptom relief.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
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 The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Maternal androgen excess inhibits fetal cardiomyocytes proliferation through RB-mediated cell cycle arrest and induces cardiac hypertrophy in adulthood
Excess maternal androgens can cause heart problems in offspring.
research Docosahexaenoic acid-acylated astaxanthin esters alleviate cisplatin- induced acute kidney injury by modulating the ferroptosis-related GPX4/xCT signaling pathway and reducing oxidative stress
Krill oil may help reduce prostate enlargement and growth.
research Caffeine and Its Role in Regulation the Androgenetic Alopecia.
Caffeine can potentially treat common hair loss by counteracting hair follicle shrinkage caused by hormones.
research FINASTERIDE INHIBITS 5?-REDUCTASE ACTIVITY IN HUMAN DERMAL FIBROBLASTS: PREDICTION OF ITS THERAPEUTIC APPLICATION IN ANDROGEN-RELATED SKIN DISEASES
Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Circulating and intraprostatic sex steroid hormonal profiles in relation to male pattern baldness and chest hair density among men diagnosed with localized prostate cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research Steroid 5α-reductases and 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases: key enzymes in androgen metabolism
Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.
research 870 Y27632 promotes proliferation via EGFR signaling in a newly isolated and characterized human primary sebocyte cell line
