Chronic stress can reduce skin pigmentation.
research Stem Cells in Dermal Wound Healing
Stem cells help heal skin wounds by supporting tissue repair and regeneration.
research Modification of testosterone levels with Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa may influence metabolic parameters in Wistar rats
Piptadeniastrum africanum and Cordia plathytyrsa can increase testosterone without major metabolic changes, but may affect triglycerides and creatinine.
research Impact of Finasteride on Serum PSA Levels in Men With BPH: A Systematic Review
Finasteride lowers PSA levels and prostate size, requiring adjusted PSA interpretation for accurate cancer screening.
research (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile, a potent androgen receptor antagonist for stimulating hair growth and reducing sebum production
The compound (1R,2S)-4-(2-Cyano-cyclohexyl-oxy)-2-trifluoromethyl-benzonitrile can stimulate hair growth and reduce oil production when applied topically.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.
research Association between serum melatonin and skin aging in an urban population of Mongolia
Lower melatonin levels are linked to more skin aging.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Effects of EGF on the Morphology and Patterns of DNA Synthesis in Isolated Human Hair Follicles
EGF makes hair follicles grow longer but stops hair production.
research Analysis of Serum Zinc and Copper Concentrations in Hair Loss
People with hair loss, especially those with certain types, have lower zinc levels, and zinc supplements might help.
research Serum biotin and zinc in male androgenetic alopecia
Low zinc and biotin levels linked to male hair loss; supplements may help.
research Study of serum vitamin D levels in men with premature androgenetic alopecia
Men with early hair loss have lower vitamin D levels.
research The association between serum ferritin and 25-hydroxyvitamin D and metabolic syndrome in Korean women: the Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2010–2012
Higher vitamin D levels are linked to higher iron levels in Korean women without metabolic syndrome, but not in those with it.
research Diphenyl ethers as androgen receptor antagonists for the topical suppression of sebum production
Diphenyl ethers can potentially reduce excess oil production when applied on the skin, helping treat conditions like acne.
research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research Serum Ferritin Levels: A Clinical Guide in Patients With Hair Loss
Low ferritin levels can indicate iron deficiency as a cause of hair loss.
research Serum prolactin levels in dermatological diseases: A case–control study
People with certain skin diseases have higher levels of the hormone prolactin in their blood.
research Correlation of Serum Zinc and Copper Levels with Alopecia Areata
Alopecia Areata patients have low zinc and high copper levels.
research Association of Low Serum Ferritin Levels in Patients Having Alopecia Areata: A Case Control Study
People with alopecia areata often have lower iron levels than healthy people.
research The Interrelation Between Hirsutism and Androgen Hormone Levels as Well as Serum TNFΑ Concentrations
High androgen levels can cause hirsutism and increase inflammation.
research Evaluation of Serum Ferritin, Creatinine and Liver Enzymes in Patients with ß- thalassemia After Administration of Deferasirox
Deferasirox effectively reduces iron overload in ß-thalassemia patients but may cause some manageable side effects.
research Estimation of Serum Ferritin Level in Female Patients with Telogen Effluvium
Low serum ferritin levels are not closely linked to telogen effluvium in women.
research The effects of finasteride (Proscar) on hair growth, hair cycle stage, and serum testosterone and dihydrotestosterone in adult male and female stumptail macaques (Macaca arctoides).
