research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor.
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research Inhibition of progesterone metabolism mimics the effect of progesterone withdrawal on forced swim test immobility
Blocking progesterone metabolism can cause depression-like behavior in mice.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Results of clinical examinations, laboratory tests, and ultrasonography in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism treated with trilostane
Trilostane effectively and safely treats dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism, improving symptoms and adrenal gland size.
research The SAHA Syndrome
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Oestrogen functions in skin and skin appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Neuroactive steroid levels and psychiatric and andrological features in post-finasteride patients
Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia
Nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia is a genetic condition that can cause early puberty and fertility problems, treated with specific steroids.
research Neuroimmunoregulation of Androgens in the Adrenal Gland and the Skin
Cytokines and neuropeptides are key in controlling androgen levels, affecting skin and hair conditions.
research Pregnancy and Skin
Most skin changes during pregnancy are harmless and temporary, but some can risk the fetus and need careful treatment.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid Sulfatase inhibitors show promise in treating hormone-dependent disorders like cancers, hair loss, and acne, with 667COUMATE being a potential candidate for breast cancer treatment trials.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Advances in male hormone substitution therapy
New treatments for low male hormones improved sexual function and mood but had unclear risks, especially for older men.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
CAH is a genetic disorder affecting cortisol production and causing hormonal imbalances, with treatment and diagnosis varying by form and symptoms.
research Hirsutism in the Adolescent Female
The conclusion is that young women with excessive hair growth should be quickly tested for hormonal issues and treated to improve their social well-being.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
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 Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Polycystic ovarian syndrome and associated hirsutism in the adolescent
Early diagnosis and treatment of PCOS in teenagers can help prevent more severe adult PCOS.
research Finasteride administration potentiates the disruption of prepulse inhibition induced by forced swim stress
Finasteride worsens stress effects on sensory processes, possibly linking to anxiety/depression.
research Finasteride blocks progesterone synthesis in MA-10 Leydig tumor cells.
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Gonadal Sex Steroids: Production, Action and Interactions in Mammals
