research Obesity and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: Implications for Pathogenesis and Novel Management Strategies
Obesity worsens PCOS symptoms, and PCOS may lead to more weight gain; managing both requires a holistic approach that includes mental health.
research A role of melatonin in neuroectodermal‐mesodermal interactions: the hair follicle synthesizes melatonin and expresses functional melatonin receptors
Hair follicles produce and respond to melatonin, affecting hair growth and sensitivity to estrogen.
research In vivo immunological toxicity in mice of carbon nanotubes with impurities
Pure carbon nanotubes are safe for mice, but impure ones cause immune issues and hair loss.
research Specific dermatologic features of the polycystic ovary syndrome and its association with biochemical markers of the metabolic syndrome and hyperandrogenism
Hirsutism is a strong sign of high male hormones and metabolic problems in women with PCOS, but acne and hair loss are not.
research Role of Oxidative Stress in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Oxidative stress is a key factor in the development of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and weight management can improve symptoms.
research A neuroendocrinological perspective on human hair follicle pigmentation
Brain hormones significantly affect hair color and could potentially be used to prevent or reverse grey hair.
research The antiandrogen enzalutamide downregulates TMPRSS2 and reduces cellular entry of SARS-CoV-2 in human lung cells
The drug enzalutamide may reduce the ability of the virus causing COVID-19 to enter lung cells.
research Alternative treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome: pre-clinical and clinical basis for using plant-based drugs
Plant-based drugs are effective and safe alternatives for managing PCOS symptoms.
research Recent advances in oxasteroids chemistry
New methods to make oxasteroids show promise for medical treatments like osteoporosis and breast cancer.
research Pseudoacromegaly induced by the long-term use of minoxidil
Long-term minoxidil use can cause pseudoacromegaly, but stopping it improves symptoms.
research Cepharanthine, a regulator of keap1-Nrf2, inhibits gastric cancer growth through oxidative stress and energy metabolism pathway
Cepharanthine may help treat gastric cancer by causing cancer cell death and affecting energy use.
research Crystalline Cataract and Uncombable Hair
The study found no common cause for a girl's crystalline cataract and uncombable hair, suggesting their co-occurrence might be coincidental.
research Testosterone target therapy: focus on immune response, controversies and clinical implications in patients with COVID-19 infection
Testosterone may have a dual role in COVID-19, potentially worsening outcomes in men, and testosterone therapy could help some patients, but more research is needed.
research The TOR–Auxin Connection Upstream of Root Hair Growth
High energy boosts root hair growth in plants, while low energy stops it.
research Proliferation, DNA repair and apoptosis in androgenetic alopecia
Bald areas have lower cell growth, more DNA damage, and increased cell death.
research Metabolic study of androsta-1,4,6-triene-3,17-dione in horses using liquid chromatography/high resolution mass spectrometry
The study found that urine metabolites M1b or M4 are the best indicators of ATD use in horses, with detection possible up to 77 hours in urine and 28 hours in blood.
research Selenium and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome; Current Knowledge and Future Directions: A Systematic Review
Selenium might help with insulin resistance and cholesterol in PCOS, but more research is needed to confirm its benefits.
research An intergenerational androgenic mechanism of female intrasexual competition in the cooperatively breeding meerkat
Androgens in female meerkats influence aggression and dominance, affecting social dynamics and offspring behavior.
research Vitamin A in Skin and Hair: An Update
Vitamin A is important for healthy skin and hair, influencing hair growth and skin healing, but UV light reduces its levels.
research Safe and Effective Conscious Sedation Administered by Dermatologic Surgeons
Dermatologic surgeons can safely and effectively provide conscious sedation with proper training and guidelines.
research Testosterone in COVID-19 – Foe, Friend or Fatal Victim?
Testosterone may both worsen and protect against COVID-19 effects in men.
research Antroquinonol Exerts Immunosuppressive Effect on CD8+ T Cell Proliferation and Activation to Resist Depigmentation Induced by H2O2
Antroquinonol may help prevent skin depigmentation by suppressing certain immune cells.
research Resveratrol Ameliorates the Seminiferous Tubules Damages Induced by Finasteride in Adult Male Rats
Resveratrol helps prevent finasteride-induced damage in male rats, improving reproductive function.
research Integral Roles of Specific Proteoglycans in Hair Growth and Hair Loss: Mechanisms behind the Bioactivity of Proteoglycan Replacement Therapy with Nourkrin® with Marilex® in Pattern Hair Loss and Telogen Effluvium
Proteoglycans are important for hair growth, and a specific treatment can help reduce hair loss.
research Can plant‐derived phytochemicals provide symptom relief for hair loss? A critical review
Some plant-based chemicals may help with hair growth, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Alterations in transcriptome and antioxidant activity of naturally aged mice exposed to selenium-rich rice
Eating selenium-rich rice improved antioxidant activity and signs of aging in mice.
research The impact of oxidative stress in the androgenic alopecia in women
Oxidative stress plays a role in female pattern baldness, causing an imbalance between harmful and protective elements in the body.
research UV light may induce hypertrichosis through production of PGE2
UV light might cause excessive hair growth by increasing PGE2 in the skin.
research Sexual dimorphism following in vitro ischemia in the response to neurosteroids and mechanisms of injury
Male tissue has more cell death than female tissue after ischemia, and some neurosteroids only protect female cells.
