research The role of pregnane neurosteroids in ethanol withdrawal: behavioral genetic approaches
Adjusting neurosteroid levels may help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
research Differentiation of nestin-negative human hair follicle outer root sheath cells into neurons in vitro
Human hair follicle cells can be turned into neural stem cell-like cells, which might help treat brain diseases.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Sex steroid synthesis in human skin in situ: The roles of aromatase and steroidogenic acute regulatory protein in the homeostasis of human skin
Human skin produces sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone, influenced by ARO and StAR, which may affect skin elasticity and hair growth.
research Comparative gene expression analysis of nestin-expressing hair follicle-derived cells
Nestin-expressing hair follicle cells may be useful for nerve repair and regeneration.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Exploring the Impact of the Microbiome on Neuroactive Steroid Levels in Germ-Free Animals
Gut microbes significantly affect brain steroid levels.
research Cutaneous hydroxystereoid dehydrogenases and rat-hair-cycle
Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.
