research Targeted delivery of a poorly water-soluble compound to hair follicles using polymeric nanoparticle suspensions
Nanoparticles effectively deliver water-insoluble drugs to hair follicles, stimulating hair growth without irritating the skin.
research Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research Androgen receptor in rat liver: Characterization and separation from a male-specific estrogen-binding protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Androgenic effects of oral contraceptives: Implications for patient compliance
Newer low-dose oral contraceptives with less androgenic effects improve patient compliance.
research Percutaneous Absorption of α-Tocopheryl Acetate

research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Synthesis of phenanthridin-3-one derivatives: Non-steroidal inhibitors of steroid 5-α-reductase
New chemicals were made that can block an enzyme linked to hair loss, prostate growth, and acne.
research Minimum Structural Requirements for Minoxidil Inhibition of Lysyl Hydroxylase in Cultured Fibroblasts
Minoxidil needs specific structure to block lysyl hydroxylase; exploring alternatives may keep benefits without this effect.
research Betaine supplementation is less effective than methionine restriction in correcting phenotypes of CBS deficient mice
Methionine restriction works better than betaine for treating CBS deficiency symptoms in mice.
research Solubilities of Flutamide, Dutasteride, and Finasteride as Antiandrogenic Agents, in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Measurement and Correlation
Flutamide, dutasteride, and finasteride dissolve differently in supercritical carbon dioxide, with dutasteride dissolving the least.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research LncRNA-000133 from secondary hair follicle of Cashmere goat: identification, regulatory network and its effects on inductive property of dermal papilla cells
A newly found RNA in Cashmere goats may play a role in hair growth and development.
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.
