research The Role of Micronutrients in Alopecia Areata: A Review
People with alopecia areata often have lower levels of vitamin D, zinc, and folate, but more research is needed to understand if supplements can help treat it.
research Profile of the progesterone derivative chlormadinone acetate — Pharmocodynamic properties and therapeutic applications
Chlormadinone acetate is a strong, well-tolerated hormone used in birth control and hormone therapy with benefits for menstrual pain and skin conditions.
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 Cannabinoids: Current and Future Options to Treat Chronic and Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain
Cannabinoids may help treat chronic and chemotherapy-induced neuropathic pain, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Investigation of the damage on the outermost hair surface using ToF‐SIMS and XPS
Bleaching hair causes significant damage by breaking down proteins and fatty acids.
research Distribution of Glycolipid and Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Human Hair
Human hair has more unsaturated fats inside than on the surface, and certain lipids may help bind the outer and inner layers together.
research Cardio-light: nitric oxide uncaged
Low-level laser therapy using near-infrared light may help heart conditions and promote healing by releasing nitric oxide.
research Anti-proliferative effect of terpenes on human prostate cáncer cells: natural sources and their potential role as chemopreventive agents.
Certain natural compounds called terpenes may help prevent prostate cancer.
research Autophagy-related protein 12 associates with anti-apoptotic B cell lymphoma-2 to promote apoptosis in gentamicin-induced inner ear hair cell loss
