research The management of very low-calorie ketogenic diet in obesity outpatient clinic: a practical guide
A very low-calorie ketogenic diet is effective for quick weight loss and improving health in obese patients, with careful management of side effects and maintenance.
research Pharmacokinetic studies of minoxidil
Minoxidil quickly leaves blood, turns into urine metabolites, and has lasting blood pressure-lowering effects.
research Dienogest
Dienogest combined with ethinylestradiol is a highly effective birth control that improves menstrual symptoms and has manageable side effects.
research Autophagy induces hair follicle stem cell activation and hair follicle regeneration by regulating glycolysis
Autophagy, a cell process, helps activate hair growth stem cells and promote hair growth by controlling glycolysis, a type of cell metabolism.
research Osteosclerosis and periostal new bone formation during indinavir therapy
Indinavir, especially with vitamin A, may cause bone changes, but switching to nelfinavir can reduce these effects.
research Reproductive and Nonreproductive Actions of Testosterone
Testosterone is important for male sexual traits, reproduction, muscle and bone health, blood production, and metabolism, and works both directly and after being changed into other hormones.
research Arecaceae
Chewing betel nut may increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, and saw palmetto can improve urinary symptoms in BPH with fewer side effects but may cause bleeding and allergic reactions.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
Finasteride may treat baldness but less effective for those with 5α-reductase deficiency.
research A study on relationship between androgenetic alopecia and cardiovascular risk using high sensitivity C-reactive protein and galectin-3 in men with early onset baldness.
Men with early baldness have similar heart risk factors as others, but certain proteins are linked to higher heart disease risk.
research Progesterone and allopregnanolone enhance the miniature synaptic release of glycine in the rat hypoglossal nucleus
Progesterone and allopregnanolone increase glycine release in rat brain cells.
research Changes in expression of the δ subunit of the GABAAreceptor and in receptor function induced by progesterone exposure and withdrawal
Progesterone affects GABAA receptor function by altering δ subunit levels.
research Progesterone Promotes Anti-Anxiety/Depressant-like Behavior and Trophic Actions of BDNF in the Hippocampus of Female Nuclear Progesterone Receptor, but Not 5α-Reductase, Knockout Mice
Progesterone reduces anxiety and depression in female mice by increasing BDNF in the brain, needing 5α-reduction and estradiol.
research Greater conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone, reflecting increased peripheral 5α-reductase activity in nude mice treated with high doses of cyclosporine A
High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Sex hormones and related compounds, including hormonal contraceptives
Exposure to certain sex hormones can increase health risks, while some hormone therapies may offer benefits for specific conditions.
research Efficacy of metformin therapy in adolescent girls with androgen excess: relation to sex hormone–binding globulin and androgen receptor polymorphisms
Metformin works better for adolescent girls with PCOS who have certain genetic variations.
research Pure linoleate deficiency in the rat: influence on growth, accumulation of n-6 polyunsaturates, and [1-14C]linoleate oxidation
Linoleate deficiency in rats reduces growth and n-6 polyunsaturate accumulation, causing mild symptoms.
research 5α-reduced progestogens ameliorate mood-related behavioral pathology, neurotoxicity, and microgliosis associated with exposure to HIV-1 Tat
5α-reduced progestogens may reduce mood issues and brain damage linked to HIV-1 Tat.
research Investigation of the mechanisms of progesterone protection following oxygen–glucose deprivation in organotypic hippocampal slice cultures
Progesterone protects brain cells by converting to allopregnanolone and involving GABAA receptors.
research Feeding the skin: The emerging role of nutritional intervention in dermatological disorders
Nutrition plays a key role in managing skin disorders, with specific dietary changes helping improve conditions like acne, dermatitis, psoriasis, alopecia, and skin cancer.
research Inhibition of 5-Alpha Reductase Attenuates Cardiac Oxidative Damage in Obese and Aging Male Rats via the Enhancement of Antioxidants and the p53 Protein Suppression
Finasteride improves heart function in obese and aging male rats by reducing oxidative stress and p53 protein levels.
research The cascading pathogenic consequences of Sarcoptes scabiei infection that manifest in host disease
Sarcoptes scabiei infection causes significant health and behavior changes in wombats.
research Accelerative action of topical piperonylic acid on mice full thickness wound by modulating inflammation and collagen deposition
Piperonylic acid speeds up wound healing by reducing inflammation and boosting collagen.
research Low level of maternal biotin intake changes the expression of biotin transporter in dams and fetuses in mice
