research S4 URETHRAL PSA LEVELS AFTER RADICAL PROSTATECTOMY
Higher urethral PSA levels after prostate removal surgery may be linked to more hair loss and higher PSA levels post-surgery.
research Alopecia androgénica femenina: nuevos factores fisiopatológicos y futuras tendencias para un abordaje clínico más integral
New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.
research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Treatment of Hair Loss
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair loss, but continued research is needed for better treatments.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase activity in the human hair follicle concentrates in the dermal papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Efficacy of Topical Combination of 0.25% Finasteride and 3% Minoxidil Versus 3% Minoxidil Solution in Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study
Combination of 0.25% finasteride and 3% minoxidil works better than just 3% minoxidil for increasing hair thickness in women.
research Long-term treatment with finasteride 1 mg decreases the likelihood of developing further visible hair loss in men with androgenetic alopecia (male pattern hair loss).
Finasteride 1 mg helps prevent more hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.
![Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of 8-Substituted Benzo[ƒ]Quinolinones Derived from Palladium Mediated Coupling Reactions](/images/research/2aedba8c-b0ac-4fa3-9ac7-9f375a016bba/small/15581.jpg)
research Synthesis and 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of 8-substituted benzo[ƒ]quinolinones derived from palladium mediated coupling reactions
Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.
research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research The effects of extra cellular matrix and growth factors on dermal papilla cell proliferation
Different substances affect hair and skin cell growth in various ways.
research Studies of the modulation of MHC antigen and cell adhesion molecule expression on human dermal papilla cells
Different substances affect hair and skin cell growth in various ways, with some promoting and others inhibiting cell proliferation.
research Hair growth promoting effect of white wax and policosanol from white wax on the mouse model of testosterone-induced hair loss
White wax and policosanol from white wax effectively reduced hair loss and promoted hair growth in mice better than a known hair growth drug.
research The role of pre-operative androgen stimulation in hypospadias surgery.
Pre-operative hormone treatment for hypospadias surgery might improve outcomes, but more research is needed to confirm.
research COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?
Higher dihydrotestosterone may be linked to more inflammation in COVID-19 patients with low testosterone.
research The role of androgens in hormone replacement therapy
Androgen therapy can help with symptoms like low libido in women, but more research is needed to understand its long-term safety and effects on health.
research Sex hormone levels and body hair growth in !Kung San and Kavango men from Namibia
Lower DHT levels lead to more body hair growth.
research Cell-free fat extract restores hair loss: a novel therapeutic strategy for androgenetic alopecia
A substance called Cell-free fat extract can effectively treat common hair loss by increasing hair growth and density.
research Pharmacodynamic modeling of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor.
Finasteride, a drug that changes testosterone to a different hormone, was studied and its effects over time were modeled successfully.
research Evaluation of the therapeutic effects of AGA drugs by measuring finasteride, dutasteride, and dihydrotestosterone in hair
Finasteride and dutasteride effectively reduce DHT in hair, which may help evaluate their treatment success for hair loss.
research Hur effektivt är finasteridbehandling mot ärftligt manligt håravfall
Finasteride treatment slows down hair loss, boosts hair growth, and may increase hair thickness or length, but it can cause side effects like decreased libido and depression in less than 1% of people.
research In vitro effects of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone and estradiol on cell growth of human hair bulb papilla cells and hair root sheath fibroblasts.
