research Oral Contraceptives and Antiandrogens Most Effective for Hirsutism Pharmacotherapy.
Oral contraceptives and antiandrogens are the best treatments for hirsutism.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Androstanediolglucuronide: A parameter for peripheral androgen activity before and during therapy with cyproterone acetate
3α-AdiolG is a good marker for androgen activity in women with excessive hair growth and decreases with anti-androgen treatment.
research Androgen Biosynthesis Inhibitors and Androgen Receptor Antagonists
Anti-androgen drugs can treat conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness by blocking effects of testosterone and DHT.
research PV-0538 Prostaglandin related distinct regenerative activities in hair follicles following radiation injury
HPV infection is linked to better survival in advanced anal cancer, higher radiation doses improve survival, especially in HPV-negative patients, and prostaglandin E₂ pretreatment can protect mouse hair follicles from radiation damage.
research Neurosteroids Are Endogenous Neuroprotectants in an Ex Vivo Glaucoma Model
A natural steroid in the body may protect against eye damage in glaucoma.
research Progesterone and allopregnanolone enhance the miniature synaptic release of glycine in the rat hypoglossal nucleus
Progesterone and allopregnanolone increase glycine release in rat brain cells.
research Research progress on drug-induced gynecomastia
Stopping the drug usually helps, but tamoxifen or surgery may be needed if symptoms persist.
research Finasteride Enhances the Generation of Human Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells by Up-Regulating the COX2/PGE2 Pathway
Finasteride boosts immune cells that suppress T-cells, possibly helping with immune disorders but may increase cancer risk.
research Hormonal treatment of acne vulgaris: an update
Hormonal treatments are effective for severe or persistent acne and should be used with other acne therapies, considering potential side effects.
research Core-shell nanocarriers based on PEGylated hydrophobic hyperbranched polyesters
The new nanocarriers improve how well water-insoluble drugs dissolve and allow for controlled drug release.
research Replacement with GABAergic steroid precursors restores the acute ethanol withdrawal profile in adrenalectomy/gonadectomy mice
GABAergic steroid precursors reduce ethanol withdrawal symptoms in certain mice.
research Dutasteride improves hair growth in patients with male pattern baldness more effectively than finasteride,
Dutasteride is more effective for male pattern baldness than finasteride, and black cohosh extract BNO 1055 is as effective as conjugated estrogens in treating postmenopausal symptoms, with added benefits in reducing sweating and mental symptoms.
research Progesterone Promotes the Survival of Newborn Neurons in the Dentate Gyrus of Adult Male Mice
Progesterone helps adult male mice's brain cells survive and improves learning and memory.
research Increased levels of prostaglandin-like material in the canine blood during arterial hypotension produced by hydralazine, dihydralazine and minoxidil
