research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
Hair loss needs more research for better treatments.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research 5α‐reductase inhibitors: Evaluation of their potential confounding effect on GC‐C‐IRMS doping analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research Circulating and intraprostatic sex steroid hormonal profiles in relation to male pattern baldness and chest hair density among men diagnosed with localized prostate cancers
Baldness in men with prostate cancer is linked to higher levels of certain sex hormones, but chest hair density is not.
research Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research GWAS for male-pattern baldness identifies 71 susceptibility loci explaining 38% of the risk
Researchers found 71 genetic regions linked to male pattern baldness, which account for 38% of its genetic risk.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring
High levels of male hormones in pregnant mice cause heart enlargement and poor heart function in their female babies.
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
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Finasteride delays atherosclerosis progression in mice and is associated with a reduction in plasma cholesterol in men
Finasteride may lower cholesterol and slow heart disease progression.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Prostaglandin D 2 Inhibits Hair Growth and Is Elevated in Bald Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
PGD2 stops hair growth and is higher in bald men with AGA.
research Steroidogenesis in steroid related cancers
Steroid-producing capabilities in certain cancers may contribute to treatment resistance.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
research Pharmacogenetics of the Androgen Metabolic Pathway
research DNMT1 targets SRD5A2 to induce mitochondrial homeostasis and EMT in urothelial cells of hypospadias
DNMT1 may help treat hypospadias by improving cell function and preventing unwanted cell changes.
research SRD5A2 and emerging therapies in androgen-driven disorders
research Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex
Sex hormones affect liver fat and metabolic health differently in men and women.
research Antioxidation, Anti-Inflammation, and Regulation of SRD5A Gene Expression of Oryza sativa cv. Bue Bang 3 CMU Husk and Bran Extracts as Androgenetic Alopecia Molecular Treatment Substances
Rice husk and bran extracts from the Bue Bang 3 CMU variety can potentially treat hair loss due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-androgenic properties.
research Wound Healing Effect of Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Datura metel L. Leaves Extracts: An In Vitro Study of Anti-Inflammation, Cell Migration, MMP-2 Inhibition, and the Modulation of the Sonic Hedgehog Pathway in Human Fibroblasts
Datura metel leaf extracts help heal wounds effectively.
research Caizhixuan hair tonic regulates both apoptosis and the PI3K/Akt pathway to treat androgenetic alopecia
Caizhixuan hair tonic helps treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and improving hair follicles.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Evolution, classification, structure, and functional diversification of steroid 5α-reductase family in eukaryotes
Steroid 5α-reductase evolved from protists and diversified in eukaryotes, with specific roles in mammals and plants.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Two drugs, finasteride and minoxidil, are approved for hair loss treatment, but new therapies are being developed.
research Guava (Psidium guajava L.) Leaf Extract as Bioactive Substances for Anti-Androgen and Antioxidant Activities
Guava leaf extract may help treat hair loss and protect cells by blocking certain genes and fighting damaging molecules.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Expression Profiles of Reproduction- and Thyroid Hormone-Related Transcripts in the Brains of Chemically-Induced Intersex Frogs
Intersex frogs have different brain gene activity related to sex and thyroid hormones.
research Pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing
Environmental factors affect reproductive traits by altering the SRD5A1 gene.
