research Is COVID-19 a risk factor for progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia and exacerbation of its related symptoms?: a systematic review
COVID-19 might worsen symptoms and progression of benign prostatic hyperplasia, possibly due to inflammation and metabolic disturbances in the prostate gland. More research is needed to confirm this.
research Effects of Lespedeza Cuneata aqueous extract on testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia
Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Finasterida: Diez Años De Uso Clínico. Revisión Sistemática De La Literatura
Finasteride effectively reduces symptoms of enlarged prostate with minimal side effects.
research Physicochemical Characterization of Chitosan-Decorated Finasteride Solid Lipid Nanoparticles for Skin Drug Delivery
Chitosan-decorated nanoparticles can improve skin delivery and reduce side effects of finasteride.
research Differential expression of retinoic acid-synthesizing (RALDH) enzymes during fetal development and organ differentiation in the mouse
Different enzymes are active in different parts of developing mouse organs.
research Evaluation of the rodent Hershberger assay using three reference endocrine disrupters (androgen and antiandrogens)
The assay effectively detects hormonal activity of certain chemicals.
research Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Higher testosterone levels can increase the risk of certain diseases like type 2 diabetes in women and prostate cancer in men, but can also protect against autoimmune diseases and hair loss. It also affects body fat and bone density.
research Dedicator of Cytokinesis 5 Regulates Keratinocyte Function and Promotes Diabetic Wound Healing
Dock5 is important for skin healing and could help treat diabetic wounds.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research The fiber diameter traits of Tibetan cashmere goats are governed by the inherent differences in stress, hypoxic, and metabolic adaptations: an integrative study of proteome and transcriptome
Cashmere fiber diameter in Tibetan goats is influenced by their stress, oxygen, and metabolic adaptations.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Baicalin inhibits recruitment of GATA1 to the HSD3B2 promoter and reverses hyperandrogenism of PCOS
Baicalin may help reduce excessive male hormone levels in PCOS.
research Advances in Stem Cell Therapy: Specific Applications in the Treatment of Cutaneous Radiation Syndrome
Stem cell therapy improves healing and reduces pain in cutaneous radiation syndrome.
research Dihydrotestosterone, and Not Testosterone, Enhances the LPS-Induced Inflammatory Cytokine Gene Expression in Human Adipocytes
Dihydrotestosterone boosts inflammation in fat cells more than testosterone.
research Role of ACE2 polymorphism in COVID-19: impact of age
Different ACE2 gene versions may affect COVID-19 impact based on age and suggest some hair loss drugs could be potential treatments.
research Wwox Deficiency Causes Downregulation of Prosurvival ERK Signaling and Abnormal Homeostatic Responses in Mouse Skin
WWOX deficiency in mice causes skin and fat tissue problems due to disrupted cell survival signals.
research Advancing Regenerative Cellular Therapies in Non-Scarring Alopecia
Regenerative cellular therapies show promise for treating non-scarring hair loss but need more research.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research TMT-based quantitative proteomics reveals the genetic mechanisms of secondary hair follicle development in fine-wool sheep
Key proteins influence wool quality by affecting hair follicle development in sheep.
research Connarus semidecandrus Jack Exerts Anti-Alopecia Effects by Targeting 5α-Reductase Activity and an Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
Connarus semidecandrus Jack extract promotes hair growth and thickness, reduces prostate cancer cell growth, and could potentially be used as a treatment for hair loss.
research Author response: Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Long-term high testosterone levels can improve bone density and reduce body fat but may increase the risk of prostate cancer and high blood pressure.
research High‐frequency ultrasonography of the scalp: A comparison between androgenetic alopecia and healthy volunteers
High-frequency ultrasound can effectively visualize and assess hair loss.
research Synopsis: 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Society of Andrology
The meeting highlighted promising genetic treatments for male fertility issues but noted concerns about certain cancer risks and ICSI safety.
research Evaluating the safety profile of α-1 blockers, 5α-reductase inhibitors, and PDE5I for BPH: a disproportionality analysis of real-world adverse events based on FDA adverse event reporting system (FAERS)
PDE5 inhibitors cause earlier adverse events in BPH treatment, requiring careful monitoring.
research Musculoskeletal and body composition response to high-dose testosterone with finasteride after chronic incomplete spinal cord injury—a randomized, double-blind, and placebo-controlled pilot study
