Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research High resolution full scan liquid chromatography mass spectrometry comprehensive screening in sports antidoping urine analysis
The method effectively detects banned substances in urine for sports antidoping.
research The Management of Postacne Scarring
New treatments for acne scars are safer and more effective because we understand the causes better.
research Adaptations in the structure and innervation of follicle‐sinus complexes to an aquatic environment as seen in the Florida manatee (Trichechus manatus latirostris)
Manatee whiskers are specially adapted for touch in water.
research Comparison of rheological properties, follicular penetration, drug release, and permeation behavior of a novel topical drug delivery system and a conventional cream
The new drug delivery system releases the drug better in sebum and targets follicles more effectively than the conventional cream.
research Middle East Medicinal Plants in the Treatment of Diabetes: A Review
Some Middle Eastern plants may help treat diabetes and could be alternatives to current drugs, but more research is needed.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research Finasteride is the main inhibitor of 5α-reductase activity in microdissected dermal papillae of human hair follicles
Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.
research Candidate genes of SARS-CoV-2 gender susceptibility
Men are more affected by COVID-19 due to differences in immune responses and protein expression.
research Targeting neurosteroid synthesis as a therapy for schizophrenia-related alterations induced by early psychosocial stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Investigation of the cutaneous penetration behavior of dexamethasone loaded to nano-sized lipid particles by EPR spectroscopy, and confocal Raman and laser scanning microscopy
Nano-sized lipid particles increase dexamethasone's skin penetration and create a reservoir in the skin layers.
research The degree of premature hair graying as an independent risk marker for coronary artery disease: a predictor of biological age rather than chronological age
Premature hair graying may be a sign of increased risk for heart disease, indicating biological age is more important than actual age.
research MANAGEMENT OF ENDOCRINE DISEASE Hyperandrogenic states in women: pitfalls in laboratory diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
research Alopecia in IL-10-deficient mouse pups is c-kit-dependent and can be triggered by iron deficiency
Hair loss in certain young mice is linked to a specific gene and can be caused by lack of iron.
research Application of Different Analytical Techniques and Microbiological Assays for the Analysis of Macrolide Antibiotics from Pharmaceutical Dosage Forms and Biological Matrices
Future work on macrolide antibiotic analysis will aim to enhance selectivity, sensitivity, and efficiency using advanced chromatographic methods.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Topical L‐thyroxine: The Cinderella among hormones waiting to dance on the floor of dermatological therapy?
Topical L-thyroxine may help with wound healing and hair growth but should be used short-term due to potential risks.
research Endoscopic-Assisted Facelifting
Endoscopic-assisted facelifting is safe and effective with minimal complications and excellent long-term results.
research Pathophysiological and Pharmaceutical Considerations for Enhancing the Control of Sarcoptes scabiei in Wombats Through Improved Transdermal Drug Delivery

research Saw palmetto and finasteride in the treatment of category-iii prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Saw palmetto helps with nighttime urination and urine flow, similar to finasteride.
research Identification of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in canine skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
