Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase attenuates behavioral effects of D1-, but not D2-like receptor agonists in C57BL/6 mice
Finasteride reduces certain behaviors caused by D1-like receptor agonists but not by D2-like receptor agonists in mice.
research 495 OR2AT4 activation by a synthetic odorant, stimulates dermcidin production in human hair follicle epithelium and increases follicular resistance to bacterial contamination: A novel antimicrobial folliculitis therapy?
A synthetic sandalwood odorant can boost antimicrobial production in hair follicles, making them more resistant to bacteria.
research Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy may be involved in the development of neuropathic pain via a reduction in neurosteroid synthesis
Mitochondrial problems in diabetic nerve damage might cause pain by lowering the production of certain nerve-related steroids.
