research Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Reversible decreases of fertility in male Sprague-Dawley rats treated orally with finasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride temporarily lowers male rat fertility without affecting libido.
research PKC downregulation upon rapamycin treatment attenuates mitochondrial disease
Rapamycin treatment helps with mitochondrial disease by reducing PKC levels.
research The Molecular Basis of Androgen Insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, affecting sexual development.
research Identification and characterization of an antisense RNA transcript (gfg) from the human basic fibroblast growth factor gene.
Researchers found an RNA transcript that might help control a growth factor linked to tumor development.
research The efficacy and use of finasteride in women: a systematic review
Finasteride improves hair growth and reduces hirsutism in women, but side effects and optimal dosages need further research.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research Bone vs. fat: Embryonic origin of progenitors determines response to androgen in adipocytes and osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Inhibition of Inflammatory Gene Expression in Keratinocytes Using a Composition Containing Carnitine, Thioctic Acid and Saw Palmetto Extract
The composition with carnitine, thioctic acid, and saw palmetto extract may effectively reduce inflammation in hair follicle cells.
research Medical Treatment of Noncicatricial Alopecia
Minoxidil and finasteride can help with hair loss, but more research is needed to improve treatments for certain types of hair loss.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research Solubilities of Flutamide, Dutasteride, and Finasteride as Antiandrogenic Agents, in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide: Measurement and Correlation
Flutamide, dutasteride, and finasteride dissolve differently in supercritical carbon dioxide, with dutasteride dissolving the least.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research THE USE OF DERMAL PAPILLA CELLS IN STUDIES OF NORMAL AND ABNORMAL HAIR FOLLICLE BIOLOGY
Dermal papilla cells are key for hair growth and could help us understand and treat hair loss.
research Stem cell identification-in vivo lineage analysis versus in vitro isolation and clonal expansion
In vivo lineage labelling is better than in vitro methods for identifying and understanding stem cells.
research Panax ginseng extract antagonizes the effect of DKK-1-induced catagen-ike changes of hair follicles
Panax ginseng extract may help prevent hair loss caused by DKK-1.
research In vitro selective inhibition of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 by finasteride, and prediction of in vivo drug–drug interactions
Finasteride affects UGT1A4 enzyme, but not enough to cause issues when combined with other drugs.
research Utilizing Electromagnetic Radiation for Hair Growth
Low-Level Laser Therapy and other light treatments for hair growth lack strong evidence and need more research.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Androgens and hair: a biological paradox
Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas but hair loss on the scalp.
research Finasteride-Induced Myalgia and HyperCKemia
Finasteride can cause muscle pain and high creatine kinase levels, but stopping the medication may resolve symptoms.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Promotion effect of Schisandra nigra on the growth of hair
Schisandra nigra extract may help hair grow by stimulating cells and preventing hair follicle damage.
research Effect of finasteride particle size reduction on its pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and cellular permeation.
Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.
research Human keratinocytes derived from the bulge region of hair follicles are refractory to differentiation
Hair follicle cells resist turning into skin cells.
research Post-finasteride syndrome – does it really exist?
Post-finasteride syndrome's existence is uncertain; more research needed.
research Differential effects of Wnt5a on the proliferation, differentiation and inflammatory response of keratinocytes
Wnt5a may contribute to psoriasis by reducing skin cell growth, blocking skin cell maturation, and increasing inflammation.
research UPDATE ON IDIOPATHIC HIRSUTISM: DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT
The document concludes that combination therapy is most effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, and more research is needed to understand the condition.
