research Neuroactive gonadal drugs for neuroprotection in male and female models of Parkinson's disease
Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Retrospective evaluation of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Investigation of drug partition property in artificial sebum
The conclusion is that measuring how drugs partition into artificial sebum is important for predicting their delivery into hair and sebaceous follicles, and it provides better information than traditional methods.
research Comparison of the effects of the K+-channel openers cromakalim and minoxidil sulphate on vascular smooth muscle
Cromakalim relaxes various blood vessels, while minoxidil sulphate is more selective; they likely act on different potassium channels.
research Male Breast Cancer and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Finasteride and Dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride does not increase the risk of male breast cancer.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Characterisation of cell cycle arrest and terminal differentiation in a maximally proliferative human epithelial tissue: Lessons from the human hair follicle matrix
CIP/KIP proteins help stop cell division and support hair growth.
research Polyamines and hair: a couple in search of perfection
Polyamines are important for hair growth, but more research is needed to understand their functions and treatment potential.
research Androgen treatment of postmenopausal women
Testosterone therapy can improve sexual desire and function in postmenopausal women but should be used cautiously and not based solely on testosterone levels.
research Engineering the niche for hair regeneration — A critical review
Further research is needed to improve hair regeneration using stem cells and nanomaterials.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Riboflavin-responsive glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Taking riboflavin and eating less lysine can help some people with a specific genetic disorder avoid brain damage.
research Topical Application of Ketoconazole Stimulates Hair Growth in C3H/HeN Mice
Putting ketoconazole on the skin can help mice grow hair.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in the Male
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research Transfollicular enhancement of gel containing cationic niosomes loaded with unsaturated fatty acids in rice (Oryza sativa) bran semi-purified fraction
The gel with special fat-loaded particles from rice bran could be an effective skin treatment for hair loss.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Notoedric mange in free‐ranging masked palm civets (Paguma larvata) in Japan
Some masked palm civets in Japan have a skin disease caused by mites.
research Pustular allergic contact dermatitis from minoxidil
Minoxidil can cause pustular allergic reactions on skin.
research The importance of basonuclin 2 in adult mice and its relation to basonuclin 1
Basonuclin 2 is vital for the development of facial bones, hair follicles, and male germ cells in adult mice, and its absence can lead to dwarfism and abnormal follicles.
research Screening of synthetic and natural product databases: Identification of novel androgens and antiandrogens
Researchers found new potential treatments for conditions related to the androgen receptor, like male hormonal contraception, by testing thousands of compounds.
research Dopa oxidase activity in the hair, skin and ocular melanocytes is increased in the presence of stressed fibroblasts
Stressed fibroblasts greatly increase melanin production in hair, skin, and eye cells, mainly due to a growth factor called bFGF.
research Development and evaluation of antisense shRNA-encoding plasmid loaded solid lipid nanoparticles against 5-α reductase activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research The effects of oestrogens on linear bone growth
Estrogens are key for bone growth spurts in both boys and girls and affect growth into adulthood.
research Effect of immunization against melatonin on seasonal fleece growth in feral goats
Immunizing goats against melatonin can temporarily change their cashmere growth cycles and increase fleece production.
research Simultaneous determination of androgens and prostaglandins in human urine using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry
Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.
research Repurposing steroidogenesis inhibitors for the therapy of neuropsychiatric disorders: Promises and caveats
Drugs for hormone-related conditions might help treat mental disorders but could have serious side effects.
research Functionally distinct melanocyte populations revealed by reconstitution of hair follicles in mice
