research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms determining tissue sensitivity to glucocorticoids: novel mutations, circadian rhythm and ligand-induced repression of the human glucocorticoid receptor
New findings explain how genetic changes, body clocks, and certain molecules affect tissue response to stress hormones.
research Structure and Expression of a New Complementary DNA Encoding the almost Exclusive 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase/Δ5-Δ4-lsomerase in Human Adrenals and Gonads
Human adrenals and gonads have a unique enzyme for steroid hormone production.
research Characterization of a Partial cDNA for Lysyl Hydroxylase from Human Skin Fibroblasts; Lysyl Hydroxylase mRNAs Are Regulated Differently by Minoxidil Derivatives and Hydralazine
Minoxidil decreases LH expression, while hydralazine has mixed effects on prolyl and lysyl hydroxylase activities.
research The metabolic syndrome- associated small G protein ARL15 plays a role in adipocyte differentiation and adiponectin secretion
ARL15 is important for fat cell development and the release of the hormone adiponectin.
research The mineralocorticoid receptor plays a transient role in mouse skin development
The mineralocorticoid receptor temporarily affects mouse skin development, but the glucocorticoid receptor has a more lasting impact.
research Novel insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying generalized glucocorticoid resistance and hypersensitivity syndromes
Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.
research The therapeutic potential of CRTH2/DP2 beyond allergy and asthma
CRTH2 antagonists might be useful for treating many conditions because they play a role in immune and inflammation responses.
research Isoallopregnanolone reduces tic‐like behaviours in the D1 CT ‐7 mouse model of Tourette syndrome
Isoallopregnanolone may be a safe and effective treatment for reducing tics in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome.
research Eph Receptors and Ephrins: Therapeutic Opportunities
Eph receptors and ephrins may be promising targets for treating diseases, but more understanding is needed for effective and safe therapies.
research Physiological and retinoid-induced proliferations of epidermis basal keratinocytes are differently controlled
Normal skin cell renewal doesn't need RAR signaling, but vitamin A-related skin thickening does.
research 1425 Deregulation of toll like receptor signaling and association with caveolin-1 in lichen planopilaris reveals a novel mechanism in pathogenesis of scarring alopecia
The study suggests that changes in immune system receptors and their interaction with a cell component may be important in the development of a type of hair loss condition.
research Comparative ubiquitinomics of human skin reveals insulin receptor ubiquitination as a regulator of collagen secretion
Ubiquitination of the insulin receptor regulates collagen secretion in human skin.
research Modulation of neuropeptide Y and Y1 receptor expression in the amygdala by fluctuations in the brain content of neuroactive steroids during ethanol drinking discontinuation in Y1R/LacZ transgenic mice
Stopping alcohol after long-term use causes anxiety and changes brain chemicals.
research Crystallization and preliminary X-ray analysis of the human androgen receptor ligand-binding domain with a coactivator-like peptide and selective androgen receptor modulators
Scientists successfully created and analyzed the structure of a part of the human androgen receptor with specific modulators and a peptide to understand how it binds differently in various tissues.
research Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
