research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Comment on Malloy (2008) “James Watson tells the inconvenient truth: Faces the consequences”
The conclusion suggests a new treatment for infantile hemangiomas and a potential target for hair loss treatment.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Hypothalamic–Pituitary–Thyroid Axis Hormones Stimulate Mitochondrial Function and Biogenesis in Human Hair Follicles
HPT axis hormones boost mitochondrial function and growth in hair follicles, potentially aiding hair health.
research Allopregnanolone (AP) induces opioid inhibition of hypothalamo-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis responses to interleukin-1β (IL-1β) in pregnancy
Allopregnanolone and opioids together reduce stress hormone responses during pregnancy.
research The Hair Follicle as an Estrogen Target and Source
Estrogens significantly influence hair growth by interacting with receptors in hair follicles and may help regulate the hair growth cycle.
research Erasing the methyl mark: histone demethylases at the center of cellular differentiation and disease
Histone demethylases can change gene expression and may be linked to diseases like cancer.
research Androgens and Cardiovascular Disease
Male hormones may play a role in the development of heart disease, and more research is needed to understand their effects.
research Pharmacology of anabolic steroids
Anabolic steroids can build muscle and strength but have risks and need more research on their clinical benefits and side effects.
research The cutaneous serotoninergic/melatoninergic system: securing a place under the sun
Human skin can make serotonin and melatonin, which help protect and maintain it.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.
research Androgens and hair growth
Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.
research Androgen‐inducible TGF‐β1 from balding dermal papilla cells inhibits epithelial cell growth: a clue to understanding paradoxical effects of androgen on human hair growth
Androgens may cause hair loss by increasing TGF-beta1 from scalp cells, which inhibits hair cell growth.
research Biology of estrogens in skin: implications for skin aging
Estrogens can improve skin aging but carry risks; more research is needed on safer treatments.
research Androgens Protect against Apolipoprotein E4-Induced Cognitive Deficits
Androgens can help prevent memory problems caused by apoE4.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
research Probing the Effects of Stress Mediators on the Human Hair Follicle
Stress-related substance P may lead to hair loss and negatively affect hair growth.
research Androgens and human hair growth
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
research Hair growth inhibition by psychoemotional stress: a mouse model for neural mechanisms in hair growth control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research Indications for a brain‐hair follicle axis: inhibition of keratinocyte proliferation and up‐regulation of keratinocyte apoptosis in telogen hair follicles by stress and substance P
Stress can cause hair loss by negatively affecting hair follicles and this effect might be reversed with specific treatments.
research Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Melatonin and the hair follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Beyond acne: Current aspects of sebaceous gland biology and function
The sebaceous gland has more roles than just producing sebum and contributing to acne, and new research could lead to better skin disease treatments.
research Hormones and the pilosebaceous unit
Hormones significantly affect hair and oil gland function in the skin, and more research is needed on skin-related hormone disorders.
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 Visualising Androgen Receptor Activity in Male and Female Mice
Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
