TRPV channels are important in osteoarthritis and could be key to new treatments.
research Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research CAG Repeat Testing of Androgen Receptor Polymorphism: Is This Necessary for the Best Clinical Management of Hypogonadism?
Testing for CAG repeat polymorphism in the androgen receptor gene is not currently recommended for managing hypogonadism.
research Melatonin Receptors and Their Role in Human Diseases
Melatonin receptors, found in many body parts, can help treat various diseases like depression and diabetes due to their effects on inflammation, tumor progression, sleep disorders, and body mass regulation.
research Advances in mitochondria-centered mechanism behind the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Androgen receptor gene polymorphism and biological age markers in men
AR gene variations don't affect aging markers in men.
research Parathyroid hormone-related peptide and the hair cycle - is it the agonists or the antagonists that cause hair growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.
