research Ceramide synthase 4 deficiency in mice causes lipid alterations in sebum and results in alopecia
Ceramide synthase 4 deficiency in mice leads to hair loss due to altered sebum lipids.
research Normalization of hair growth in sparse fur-abnormal skin and hair (SPF-ASH) mice by introduction of the rat ornithine transcarbamylase (OTC) gene
Introducing the rat OTC gene normalized hair growth in SPF-ASH mice.
research 0885 The androgen-THY1 axis mediates sexual dimorphism in dermal adipogenesis and fibrosis
Androgens reduce THY1 in skin cells, leading to less fat, more fibrosis, and worse healing in males.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Peer Review #1 of "A novel control of human keratin expression: cannabinoid receptor 1-mediated signaling down-regulates the expression of keratins K6 and K16 in human keratinocytes in vitro and in situ (v0.1)"
Activating cannabinoid receptor 1 may help manage psoriasis by reducing certain keratins.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors
Smaller substituents at C-17 enhance the inhibitory activity of progesterone derivatives on 5alpha-reductase.
research In vivo and in vitro exposure to free fatty acids induce increased androgen production in animal models: a potential pathogenic factor of the polycystic ovary syndrome
Free fatty acids may increase androgen production, potentially contributing to polycystic ovary syndrome.
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 Metabolic Syndrome, Hepatic Steatosis and Testosterone: A Matter of Sex
Sex hormones affect liver fat and metabolic health differently in men and women.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Equine 5α-reductase activity and expression in epididymis
The equine epididymis mainly uses type 1 5α-reductase, and both finasteride and dutasteride can inhibit its activity.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Ornithine decarboxylase expression in cutaneous papillomas in SENCAR mice is associated with altered expression of keratins 1 and 10.
High ODC and low K1 and K10 may indicate early skin tumors in mice.
research Olmsted Syndrome Caused by a Heterozygous p.Gly568Val Missense Mutation in TRPV3 Gene
A specific gene mutation causes Olmsted syndrome.
research Structural and dynamic insights into substrate binding and catalysis of human lipocalin prostaglandin D synthase
The research explains how a human enzyme binds and processes its substrate, which could relate to its role in biological functions and hair loss.
research Skin barrier, phenotypic and genotypic characterisation of autosomal recessive ichthyosis in TGM1‐deficient Jack Russell Terriers and response to topical ceramide
Topical ceramide treatment partially improves the skin condition in Jack Russell Terriers with a genetic skin disorder.
research Two Opposing Faces of Retinoic Acid: Induction of Stemness or Induction of Differentiation Depending on Cell-Type
Retinoic acid can either maintain stem cells or make them specialize, depending on the cell type.
research Homology Modeling of 5-alpha-Reductase 2 Using Available Experimental Data
Accurate protein modeling can help develop new treatments for prostate cancer and other diseases.
research TREM2 macrophages induced by human lipids drive inflammation in acne lesions
TREM2 macrophages and unsaturated lipids contribute to acne inflammation.
research Activation of the integrated stress response in human hair follicles

research Targeting cardiac hypertrophy through a nuclear co‐repressor
Targeting NCoR1 can help treat heart enlargement and dysfunction.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Activity in SZ95 Sebocytes and HaCaT Keratinocytes In Vitro
The substance MK386 effectively blocked testosterone conversion and reduced cell growth in certain skin cells, but inhibiting 5α-reductase alone may not greatly improve acne.
research Photo-downregulation of SIRT4 mitigates aging in mice by enhancing H3K9ac via fatty acid metabolism
Red light exposure slows aging in mice by improving fat metabolism.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel unsaturated carboxysteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A legitimate approach
