research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
research [Analysis of steroids and binding proteins in the blood of women with androgenetic alopecia].
Women with androgenetic alopecia have normal levels of most blood steroids and binding proteins, but higher dehydroepiandrosterone. Some also have low "sex hormone-binding globulin" and "corticosteroide-binding globulin" capacity, and high "free androgen index" and "free cortisol index". Diane treatment can normalize these levels and improve hair conditions.
research Regulatory roles of androgens in cutaneous wound healing
Testosterone may slow down wound healing and increase inflammation.
research Quercetin rescues dihydrotestosterone-treated human dermal papilla cells via SHP2/AKT signaling to suppress autophagy and apoptosis
research Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase
Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase play a role in hair loss and prostate health, and finasteride can increase hair growth in men without affecting sperm production, but it doesn't work for postmenopausal women with hair loss.
research [Androgenetic alopecia].
research Anti-proliferative effect of terpenes on human prostate cáncer cells: natural sources and their potential role as chemopreventive agents.
Certain natural compounds called terpenes may help prevent prostate cancer.
research Fructus Psoraleae Treating in Androgenetic Alopecia Through 5-Α Reductase Inhibition and Nrf2-Keap1 Pathway
