research Genome-wide detection and sequence conservation analysis of long non-coding RNA during hair follicle cycle of yak
Researchers found that certain RNA sequences play a role in yak hair growth and these sequences are somewhat similar to those in cashmere goats.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome associated with steroid sulfatase deficiency—x-linked recessive ichthyosis: a case report and review of literature
A boy with a rare skin condition and kidney disease improved with cyclosporine after steroids failed, suggesting a new treatment approach.
research Spironolactone versus placebo or in combination with steroids for hirsutism and/or acne
Spironolactone is better than placebo for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but its effectiveness for acne is unclear due to small study sizes.
research Finasteride versus cyproterone acetate-estrogen regimens in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research Retrospective evaluation of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Effects of non-contingent cocaine on 3alpha-androstanediol. I. Disruption of male sexual behavior
Cocaine impairs male sexual behavior and alters testosterone metabolism in the brain.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Precision therapeutics in non-scarring alopecia: a systemic genomic and pathway-based framework for targeted interventions
Personalized treatments for hair loss focus on specific genetic and biological pathways.
research Study on Changes of 19 Steroids in Plasma From 9 Diagnosed Patients With P450 Oxidoreductase Deficiency
Certain hormone levels can help diagnose P450 oxidoreductase deficiency.
research Expression and roles of steroidogenic acute regulatory (StAR) protein in ‘non-classical’, extra-adrenal and extra-gonadal cells and tissues
The protein StAR is found in 17 different organs and can affect hair loss and brain functions, but its full role is not yet fully understood.
research Balding hair follicle dermal papilla cells contain higher levels of androgen receptors than those from non-balding scalp
Cells from balding scalps have more androgen receptors than cells from non-balding scalps.
research A comparative study of cutaneous manifestations of hyperandrogenism in obese and non-obese Taiwanese women
Obese women had more testosterone and less acne, but similar hair growth compared to non-obese women.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin (SHBG) as an Early Biomarker and Therapeutic Target in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
SHBG may be a useful early indicator and treatment target for PCOS.
research Alopecia From Oral Contraceptives
Oral contraceptives may cause hair loss in women.
research Sertolioma in a Canadian Husky: Relationship between Tumor, Hormones, Neurons and Skin
Removing a testicular tumor in a dog reduced its aggressive behavior and skin problems.
research Adverse health effects of androgen use
Using anabolic androgenic steroids can cause serious, lasting health problems in many parts of the body.
research The effect of spironolactone on genital skin 5α-reductase activity
Spironolactone reduces the enzyme activity that converts testosterone to DHT, helping treat excessive hair growth in women.
research A Perspective on the Evolving Landscape in Male Reproductive Medicine
Advancements in male reproductive medicine are ongoing, but more research and improved treatments are needed in several areas.
research Androgens and the Menopause
Testosterone replacement may help postmenopausal women with sexual function and bone density, but suitable treatments are limited.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.
research Glucocorticoid and Sex Hormone Receptors: Clinical Implications and Therapeutic Relevance
Glucocorticoids and sex hormones affect skin health, with potential for targeted treatments to minimize side effects and treat skin conditions.
research Multiple readout assay for hormonal (androgenic and antiandrogenic) and cytotoxic activity of plant and fungal extracts based on differential prostate cancer cell line behavior
The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Evidence-Based Treatment Update
Effective treatments for male pattern baldness include oral finasteride and topical minoxidil, while topical minoxidil is best for female pattern baldness.
research Hormone replacement therapy and the skin
Estrogen replacement can improve skin health in menopausal women but doesn't reverse sun damage or prevent hair loss.
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
