research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research CLINICAL UPDATES IN HAIR
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Effect of estrogens on skin aging and the potential role of SERMs
Estrogens help reduce skin aging, and SERMs might offer similar benefits without the risks of hormone therapy.
research Cytoprotective effects of paeoniflorin are associated with translocator protein 18 kDa
Paeoniflorin protects brain cells by involving a specific protein and neurosteroids.

Early NAS level changes affect alcohol consumption vulnerability.
research Changes in Expression and Function of Extrasynaptic GABAAReceptors in the Rat Hippocampus during Pregnancy and after Delivery
Pregnancy increases certain GABAA receptors in rat brains, influenced by steroid levels.
research Association of Insulin Resistance with Hyperandrogenia in Women
Insulin resistance is linked to high male hormone levels in women, often seen in those with PCOS.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Molecular Genetic and Endocrine Mechanisms of Hair Growth
Hormones and their receptors, especially androgens, play a key role in hair growth and disorders like baldness.
research Allopregnanolone mediates the exacerbation of Tourette-like responses by acute stress in mouse models
Stress worsens Tourette symptoms by increasing allopregnanolone levels.
research Baiting Proteins with C60
C60 fullerenes can alter protein function and may help develop new disease inhibitors.
research Estrogens and the hair follicle. Ostrogene und der Haarfollikel
Estrogens generally inhibit hair growth and improve skin quality, but their exact effects on hair follicles are complex and not fully understood.
research Molecular basis of androgen action on human sexual desire
Testosterone significantly affects sexual desire in both men and women, but its impact on women is more complex and influenced by psychological factors.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Hair Biology
The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.
research Brain allopregnanolone induces marked scratching behaviour in diet-induced atopic dermatitis mouse model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids Is Developmentally Regulated and Shapes GABAAMiniature IPSCs in Lamina II of the Spinal Cord
Neurosteroids regulate synaptic inhibition in the spinal cord and may help manage spinal pain.
research The Effect of Parathyroid Hormones on Hair Follicle Physiology: Implications for Treatment of Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Parathyroid hormones are important for hair growth, but their use in treating hair loss from chemotherapy is still uncertain.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research TSPO ligand etifoxine attenuates LPS-induced cognitive dysfunction in mice
Etifoxine, an anxiety drug, can lessen brain inflammation and cognitive issues in mice, partly by increasing production of protective brain steroids.
research Sex differences in SARS-CoV-2 infection rates and the potential link to prostate cancer
Men, especially older ones with health issues like prostate cancer, may have worse COVID-19 outcomes and could benefit from therapies targeting male hormones.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.

research Allopregnanolone promotes proliferation and differential gene expression in human glioblastoma cells
Allopregnanolone increases growth and changes gene activity in human brain cancer cells.
research Sebaceous immunobiology - skin homeostasis, pathophysiology, coordination of innate immunity and inflammatory response and disease associations
Sebaceous glands play a key role in skin health, immunity, and various skin diseases.
research Sex differences in the hypothalamic–pituitary–adrenal axis’ response to stress: an important role for gonadal hormones
Male and female bodies respond differently to stress, influenced by hormones and development stages, with implications for stress-related diseases.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
