research Omega-6 highly unsaturated fatty acids in Leydig cells facilitate male sex hormone production
Omega-6 fats in certain cells boost male hormone production.
research N-Acyl arylsulfonamides as novel, reversible inhibitors of human steroid sulfatase
Scientists found new, better-working inhibitors for a hormone-related enzyme.
research Loss of adipocyte phospholipase gene PLAAT3 causes lipodystrophy and insulin resistance due to inactivated arachidonic acid-mediated PPARγ signaling
Not having the gene PLAAT3 leads to fat loss, high insulin resistance, and abnormal fat levels in the blood due to a disruption in fat cell development and function.
research Riboflavin-responsive glutaryl CoA dehydrogenase deficiency
Taking riboflavin and eating less lysine can help some people with a specific genetic disorder avoid brain damage.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid sulfatase inhibitors could potentially treat hormone-related disorders like certain cancers, hair loss, acne, and improve cognitive dysfunction.
research TGFβ signaling regulates lipogenesis in human sebaceous glands cells
TGFβ signaling prevents sebaceous gland cells from producing fats.
research 19 Adipose stem cell exosome (ASCE): next generation regenerative therapeutics for atopic dermatitis
The study explores the potential of adipose stem cell exosomes (ASCE) as regenerative therapeutics for atopic dermatitis. ASCEs, derived from human adipose mesenchymal stem cells, were tested on in vitro cell models, in vivo animal models, and one patient with atopic dermatitis. Results showed that ASCEs significantly reduced skin inflammation and improved the atopic dermatitis score by up to 30% in a dose-dependent manner. They also down-regulated major proinflammatory cytokines by 30-50% and promoted the synthesis of ceramides and dihydroceramides by 40-70%, enhancing skin barrier function. The findings suggest that ASCEs have strong regenerative and anti-inflammatory properties, making them promising candidates for treating inflammatory skin diseases like atopic dermatitis.
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 DGAT1 Modulates Hair Cycling and Is Essential for Retinoid Homeostasis in the Skin
The enzyme Dgat1 is essential for healthy hair and skin by controlling retinoid levels.
research Abnormal essential fatty acid composition of tissue lipids in genetically diabetic mice is partially corrected by dietary linoleic and γ-linolenic acids
Dietary essential fatty acids improved skin and hair conditions and partially corrected fat composition in diabetic mice.
research Gene expression of type 2 17β hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in scalp hairs of hirsute women
Hirsute women have lower type 2 17β-HSD enzyme levels, which improve with treatment.
research Diagnosing Essential Fatty Acid Deficiency
Mild essential fatty acid deficiency can cause health issues and is worsened by low-fat diets.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research Hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone in human scalp hair folhcles
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is affected by certain inhibitors.
research The effect of long‐chain monoenes on prostaglandin E2 synthesis by rat skin
High levels of certain fats in rapeseed oil can reduce the skin's ability to produce prostaglandin E2 and cause hair loss and skin issues in rats.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
research Identification of Beta-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol as Possible Inhibitors of 5 Alpha-Reductase 1: An In-Silico Study
Beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol might help prevent hair loss by blocking a specific enzyme.
