research Alginate-Based Hydrogel Containing Minoxidil/Hydroxypropyl-β-Cyclodextrin Inclusion Complex for Topical Alopecia Treatment
A new gel containing minoxidil can treat hair loss effectively, potentially reducing side effects and improving treatment.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Protective effect of DA-9401 in finasteride-induced apoptosis in rat testis: inositol requiring kinase 1 and c-Jun N-terminal kinase pathway
DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE Hyperandrogenic states in women: pitfalls in laboratory diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
research Urinary steroids in women with androgenic alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research A new label-free screen for steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Green hair discoloration due to selenium sulfide
Selenium sulfide in anti-dandruff shampoos can turn hair green.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
research Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Stromal Vascular Fraction for Hair Loss
Adipose tissue shows promise for hair regrowth, but more research is needed to confirm best practices and effectiveness.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Thrombocytosis Associated with Low-Molecular-Weight Heparin
International medical graduates outperformed U.S. graduates on an internal medicine exam.
research Adult Group B Streptococcal Disease
International medical graduates outperformed U.S. graduates on an internal medicine exam.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Expression of NAD+dependent 15-hydroxyprostaglandin dehydrogenase and protection of prostaglandins in human hair follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research Pediatric Bipolar Disorder: Evidence-Based Psychopharmacological Treatments
Combining mood stabilizers with antipsychotics is more effective for treating children with bipolar disorder than using mood stabilizers alone.
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 The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Heme Oxygenase and the Skin in Health and Disease
HO-1 helps skin health and healing but can worsen melanoma; it's a potential treatment target for skin diseases.
research Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol, Isolated from Ishige okamurae, Increases Prostaglandin E2through the Expression of Cyclooxygenase-1 and -2 in HaCaT Human Keratinocytes
A compound from brown algae boosts the production of a certain inflammatory substance in skin cells.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research The Post-finasteride Syndrome: Clinical Manifestation of Drug-Induced Epigenetics Due to Endocrine Disruption
Finasteride can cause lasting sexual dysfunction, depression, and other side effects, needing more research for treatment.
