research Diagnostic Criteria for Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome
To diagnose Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, two out of three signs—irregular periods, high male hormone levels, or cysts on the ovaries—are needed.
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 No Evidence that 2D:4D is Related to the Number of CAG Repeats in the Androgen Receptor Gene
Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.
research Stem cells and alopecia: a review of pathogenesis
Damaged hair follicle stem cells can cause permanent hair loss, but understanding their role could lead to new treatments.
research The Effect of 5 -Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
research The mRNA for Protease Nexin-1 is Expressed in Human Dermal Papilla Cells and its Level is Affected by Androgen
Human skin cells contain Protease Nexin-1, and male hormones can decrease its levels, potentially affecting hair growth.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research Inhibitors of 5α -Reductase Type I in LNCaP Cells from the Roots of Angelica koreana
Compounds from Angelica koreana roots, especially osthenol, could be effective for treating conditions like prostate disease and hair loss.
research The Mechanisms and Management of Age-Related Oxidative Stress in Male Hypogonadism Associated with Non-communicable Chronic Disease
Managing oxidative stress might help treat low testosterone and related chronic diseases in aging men.
research Polygonum multiflorum extract support hair growth by elongating anagen phase and abrogating the effect of androgen in cultured human dermal papilla cells
Polygonum multiflorum extract helps hair grow longer and fights the effects of hormones that cause hair loss.
research Glycolipid and Hormonal Profiles in Young Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: A meta-analysis
Young men with early hair loss have slightly worse blood sugar and fat levels, suggesting possible health risks and need for monitoring.
research Pharmacologic management of pattern hair loss
Treat pattern hair loss with finasteride and topical minoxidil.
research LncRNA H19 Overexpression Activates Wnt Signaling to Maintain the Hair Follicle Regeneration Potential of Dermal Papilla Cells
H19 boosts hair growth potential by activating Wnt signaling, possibly helping treat hair loss.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Recreation of a hair follicle regenerative microenvironment: Successes and pitfalls
Hair growth environment recreated with challenges; stem cells make successful skin organoids.
research Raising hairs
Stem cell treatments can potentially treat baldness, with one trial showing hair growth after injecting a hair-stimulating complex, and no safety issues were reported.
research Omega-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids in Leydig cells facilitate male sex hormone production
Omega-6 fats in certain cells boost male hormone production.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Screening of Euphorbiaceae Plant Extracts for Anti-5α-reductase
Phyllanthus urinaria extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair-related enzyme.
research Androgens in SARS-CoV-2 Coronavirus Infections
Men, particularly those with hair loss, are more likely to get the virus, and those with prostate cancer may have milder symptoms. Testosterone's role in the disease is unclear, and the virus doesn't seem to harm male fertility. Women with PCOS might be at higher risk. More research is needed.
research Environment of the Anagen Follicle
The document concludes that hair follicles have a complex environment and our understanding of it is growing, but there are limitations when applying animal study findings to humans.
research Impact of Testosterone on Hair and Skin
Testosterone can cause acne and male-pattern baldness, affects hair growth in men and women, and makes male skin more sensitive.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research The genetically programmed hair growth cycle and alopecia: what is there to know?
The document concludes that hair loss is complex, affects many people, has limited treatments, and requires more research on its causes and psychological impact.
research Changes in the Expression of Smooth Muscle Cell–Related Genes in Human Dermal Sheath Cup Cells Associated with the Treatment Outcome of Autologous Cell–Based Therapy for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Lower levels of certain genes in hair cells improve hair loss treatment outcomes.
research Expression Level of Prostaglandin D2 Receptor 2 Regulates Hair Regression
Higher levels of the DP2 receptor may lead to hair loss.
research Valproic acid and alopecia: A two-edged sword
Valproic acid can cause hair loss when taken orally but may promote hair growth when applied topically.
research Enhanced restoration ofin situ-damaged hairs by intradermal transplantation of trichogenous dermal cells
Transplanting a mix of specific skin cells can significantly improve the repair of damaged hair follicles.
