research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Finasteride and minoxidil are effective FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
research Management of CAH during pregnancy
With careful management, people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia can have successful pregnancies and become parents.
research Novel agents for the treatment of alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.
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 Novel Lead Generation through Hypothetical Pharmacophore Three-Dimensional Database Searching: Discovery of Isoflavonoids as Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Rat 5α-Reductase
Researchers found new potential but less potent rat enzyme inhibitors using a 3D model.
research Hormonal therapies for acne
Hormonal treatments can improve acne, but they come with potential side effects and risks.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Age-related changes in brain and pituitary 5α-reductase with finasteride (Proscar) treatment
Finasteride affects prostate weights and pituitary activity differently with age.
research Non-canonical dimerization of the androgen receptor and other nuclear receptors: implications for human disease
Mutations in certain receptors can cause diseases and offer new treatment options.
research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Alopecia: unapproved treatments or indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Contraceptive use in acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Exfoliative cutaneous lupus erythematosus in German shorthaired pointer dogs: disease development, progression and evaluation of three immunomodulatory drugs (ciclosporin, hydroxychloroquine, and adalimumab) in a controlled environment
Hydroxychloroquine showed some potential, but overall, the three drugs had limited success in treating lupus in dogs.
research Status of sex reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder in Japan
In Japan, sex reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder faces challenges and needs better medical support and education.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research CLINICAL UPDATES IN HAIR
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research The 5alpha-reductase type 1, but not type 2, gene is expressed in anagen hairs plucked from the vertex area of the scalp of hirsute women and normal individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research A Connection between the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore, Autophagy, and Cerebral Amyloidogenesis
Dutasteride may help reduce brain plaque linked to Alzheimer's by affecting cell energy structures and waste removal.
research Rat steroid 5α-reductase kinetic characteristics: Extreme pH-dependency of the type II isozyme in prostate and epididymis homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Comparative biology of tissue repair, regeneration and aging
The symposium concluded that understanding how different species repair tissue and how this changes with age can help advance regenerative medicine.
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 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 Role of 5α-dihydrotestosterone in testicular development of gilthead seabream following finasteride administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
