The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Acute cardiomyopathy induced by the vasodilating antihypertensive agent minoxidil
Minoxidil can cause heart muscle damage in dogs.
research Safety and tolerability of low dose oral minoxidil monotherapy in female pattern hair loss: A retrospective review with longitudinal ambulatory blood pressure monitoring
Low dose oral minoxidil is generally safe and can improve hair loss in women, with some experiencing side effects and minimal blood pressure changes.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research 17‐beta estradiol and prednisolone as potential stimulators of hair re‐growth in chemotherapy‐induced human hair follicle damage via ‘dystrophic catagen’ promotion?
17-beta estradiol and prednisolone may help regrow hair damaged by chemotherapy.
research A Comparison of Minoxidil and Hydralazine in Non-azotemic Hypertensives
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure more effectively but has more side effects, so try hydralazine first.
research Blood pressure changes in patients after minoxidil microinfusion to treat female pattern alopecia: analysis of a randomized, single blinded, placebo controlled clinical trial
Minoxidil microinfusion lowered diastolic blood pressure in patients.
research Image 2_Associations between ionomic profile and metabolic abnormalities in a murine model of sodium sulfide induced alopecia areata.tif
Linoleic acid and magnesium are key in alopecia areata progression, and tofacitinib can help by affecting their pathway.
research Usefulness of the vasodilator minoxidil in resistant hypertension
Minoxidil effectively lowers blood pressure in patients with resistant hypertension.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.
research Estranys matins de febrer: Pauline Fondevila
Trienones are more effective at inhibiting the enzyme linked to hair loss than dienones.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research Selective inhibition of glucuronidation and sulfation in vitro and in vivo
research Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Image 4_Associations between ionomic profile and metabolic abnormalities in a murine model of sodium sulfide induced alopecia areata.tif
Targeting specific metabolic and ionic pathways may improve alopecia areata treatment.
