research The Impact of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitors (5α-RIs) on Male Sexual Function and Psychological Well-Being
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.
research Diagnosis, Pathogenesis and Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Lifestyle changes and insulin-sensitizing drugs are effective for managing PCOS.
research Melatonin-Mediated Circadian Rhythm Signaling Exhibits Bidirectional Regulatory Effects on the State of Hair Follicle Stem Cells
Melatonin can help or hinder hair growth depending on the dose.
research Pubertal hormones increase hippocampal expression of α4βδ GABAA receptors
Hormones during puberty increase certain receptors in the brain, and this change is influenced by estrogen levels.
research (Neuro-)endocrinology of epithelial hair follicle stem cells
Hormones and neuroendocrine factors control hair growth and color, and more research could lead to new hair treatment options.
research Cannabinoid Signaling in the Skin: Therapeutic Potential of the “C(ut)annabinoid” System
Cannabinoids may help treat various 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 Melatonin membrane receptors in peripheral tissues: Distribution and functions
Melatonin affects many body functions beyond sleep by interacting with specific receptors in various tissues.
research Neurosteroidogenesis Today: Novel Targets for Neuroactive Steroid Synthesis and Action and Their Relevance for Translational Research
New targets for making and using brain-synthesized steroids could lead to better treatments for brain disorders and alcoholism.
research Integrated Transcriptomics and Metabolomics Analyses of Stress-Induced Murine Hair Follicle Growth Inhibition
Chronic stress in mice changes skin metabolism and gene expression, leading to hair loss.
research A missing piece: the spiny mouse and the puzzle of menstruating species
The spiny mouse is a unique menstruating rodent that can help us understand menstruation and reproductive disorders.
research Anti-androgenic therapy with finasteride improves cardiac function, attenuates remodeling and reverts pathologic gene-expression after myocardial infarction in mice
Finasteride improves heart function and repairs damage after heart attack in mice.
research Pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in postpartum depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research Sexually dimorphic effect of progesterone and its reduced metabolites on the gene expression of myelin proteins in rat Schwann cells
Progesterone and its metabolites affect myelin protein expression differently in male and female rat Schwann cells.
research Isoallopregnanolone reduces tic‐like behaviours in the D1 CT ‐7 mouse model of Tourette syndrome
Isoallopregnanolone may be a safe and effective treatment for reducing tics in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome.
research Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma (PEM)/Animal Type Melanoma (ATM): Quest for an Origin. Report of One Unusual Case Indicating Follicular Origin and Another Arising in an Intradermal Nevus
The conclusion is that Pigmented Epithelioid Melanocytoma can start from hair follicle stem cells or from a mole on the skin.
research Neuroactive steroid levels and psychiatric and andrological features in post-finasteride patients
Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research The gut‐microbiota‐brain axis: Focus on gut steroids
Gut bacteria affect steroid levels, influencing health conditions and potential treatments.
research Hair melanocytes as neuro-endocrine sensors—Pigments for our imagination
Hair melanocytes help the skin respond to stress and regulate hair pigmentation.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research Neurosteroids and Epileptogenesis
Neurosteroids may help prevent seizures and slow epilepsy progression.
research POST-FINASTERIDE SYNDROME AND POST-SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: TWO CLINICAL CONDITIONS APPARENTLY DISTANT, BUT VERY CLOSE
Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.
research Deficient anterior pituitary with common variable immune deficiency (DAVID syndrome): a new case and literature reports
DAVID syndrome is a condition with immune system and hormone deficiencies, needing early diagnosis to avoid serious complications.
research Environmental Air Pollutants Affecting Skin Functions with Systemic Implications
Air pollution harms skin health and can worsen skin diseases.
research Functional Food Nutrients, Redox Resilience Signaling and Neurosteroids for Brain Health
Functional foods and nutrients like flavonoids, vitamin D, omega-3s, and probiotics can boost brain health and reduce stress.
research Protective Effects of Melatonin on the Skin: Future Perspectives
Melatonin, usually known for sleep regulation, also has antioxidant properties that can protect skin, stimulate hair growth, and improve skin conditions, with topical application being more effective than oral use.
research Protective Role of Melatonin and Its Metabolites in Skin Aging
Melatonin, a hormone, can help protect skin from aging by reducing stress, inflammation, and damage, and may also help treat hair loss in women.
research Adipokines in the Skin and in Dermatological Diseases
Adipokines affect skin health and could be targeted for treating skin diseases.
