180-210 / 1000+ resultsresearch An isolated, implausibly large effect in a case-control study of digit ratio (2D:4D) and male androgenetic alopecia: Comment on Unal (J Cosmet Dermatol 2018;17(3):545-548)
Digit ratio likely doesn't predict male hair loss.
research Matrix Effect in Quantitative LC/MS/MS Analyses of Biological Fluids: A Method for Determination of Finasteride in Human Plasma at Picogram Per Milliliter Concentrations
Method detects finasteride in plasma at very low concentrations.
research Anticancer drugs in surface waters
Anticancer drugs are increasingly found in surface waters, and their long-term environmental effects are not well understood, requiring better testing methods.
research SRD5A3 Is Required for Converting Polyprenol to Dolichol and Is Mutated in a Congenital Glycosylation Disorder
Mutations in the SRD5A3 gene cause a new type of glycosylation disorder by blocking the production of a molecule necessary for protein glycosylation.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research Lichen planus
Lichen planus is a skin condition that can resolve on its own, is linked to hepatitis C, and increases the risk of skin cancer.
research Epidemiology and treatment modalities for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
More men are getting benign prostatic hyperplasia, and there are many treatments, from medication to surgery, with new methods being developed.
research Testosterone and doping control
The document concludes that better biomarkers are needed to detect long-term oral testosterone use in athletes.
research Adult Kawasaki Disease: Report of Two Cases and Literature Review
Kawasaki Disease is rare and often missed in adults, who show different symptoms than children, and may benefit from early treatment.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Expression of Calcium-Binding S100 Proteins A4 and A6 in Regions of the Epithelial Sac Associated with the Onset of Hair Follicle Regeneration
S100A4 and S100A6 proteins may activate stem cells for hair follicle regeneration and could be potential targets for hair loss treatments.
research Graft-versus-host disease
Graft-versus-host disease is a complication where donor immune cells attack the recipient's body, often affecting the skin, liver, and gastrointestinal tract.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Folliculitis Keloidalis Nuchae and Pseudofolliculitis Barbae
These skin conditions in African men need combined medical treatments and lifestyle changes.
research Whole Body and Regional Hemodynamic Effects of Minoxidil in the Conscious Dog
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure, increases heart rate, and improves blood flow in dogs.
research Prevalence of Hyperandrogenic States in Late Adolescent and Young Women: Epidemiological Survey on Italian High-School Students
Many young Italian women have hyperandrogenic disorders like PCOS, which are linked to age, body weight, and insulin resistance.
research Immunologic adverse reactions of β-blockers and the skin (Review)
β-blockers can cause skin problems like psoriasis and vitiligo, and doctors should tell patients about these risks.
research Mechanism of TAp73 inhibition by ΔNp63 and structural basis of p63/p73 hetero-tetramerization
ΔNp63α stops TAp73β from working in skin cancer by blocking its access to specific genes, not by directly interacting with it.
research Revisiting hyper- and hypo-androgenism by tandem mass spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research The Effect of Anti-Androgens on the Response of Rat Preputial Glands to Testosterone*
New compounds can block testosterone effects in rats and might help treat conditions like prostate cancer and acne.
research Prevalence of hyperandrogenism in Iraqi women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Iraqi women with PCOS often have higher testosterone levels and obesity.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5.alpha.-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.
research Quality evaluation of the Finasteride polymorphic forms I and II in capsules
Finasteride's polymorphic form affects capsule quality and drug effect, requiring strict control.
research Influence of Chemical Straightening on the Stability of Drugs of Abuse in Hair
Chemical hair straightening significantly reduces detectable drug levels in hair.
research Aromatic C-nitrosation of a bioactive molecule. Nitrosation of minoxidil
Minoxidil reacts to nitrosation 7 times more than phenol, mainly due to its -NH₂ groups, leading to the creation of N-nitrosominoxidil.
research LC-MS/MS improves screening towards 21-hydroxylase deficiency
LC-MS/MS is more reliable than immunoassays for diagnosing 21-hydroxylase deficiency.
research Severe cardiac conduction abnormalities associated with atypical toxic shock syndrome
A boy with toxic shock syndrome had severe heart rhythm problems but recovered with treatment.
