research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research GhDET2, a steroid 5α‐reductase, plays an important role in cotton fiber cell initiation and elongation
GhDET2 is crucial for cotton fiber growth.
research LC‐MS/MS‐based method for long‐term steroid profiling in human scalp hair
A new method accurately measures long-term steroid levels in human hair.
research Steroid 5α-reductases and 3α-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases: key enzymes in androgen metabolism
Key enzymes control androgen levels, affecting hormone activity and potential treatments.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid sulfatase inhibitors could help treat hormone-related disorders and cancers.
research Systemic Steroids With or Without 2% Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Alopecia Areata
Steroids help hair regrowth, and minoxidil slows post-steroid hair loss, but effects are temporary.
research A preliminary study of steroid reproductive hormones in human hair
Human hair can be used to measure reproductive hormones.
research Role of Transepidermal and Transfollicular Routes in Percutaneous Absorption of Steroids: In vitro Studies on Human Skin
Hair follicles and glands significantly increase steroid absorption in skin.
research Steroid Biomarkers and Genetic Studies Reveal Inactivating Mutations in Hexose-6-Phosphate Dehydrogenase in Patients with Cortisone Reductase Deficiency
Certain mutations in the H6PD gene cause Cortisone Reductase Deficiency by affecting hormone production.
research Evaluation of an eucalyptus oil containing topical drug delivery system for selected steroid hormones
The eucalyptus oil system improved skin delivery of hormones, but safety concerns remain.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase as a Novel Therapeutic Target for Schizophrenia and Other Neuropsychiatric Disorders
S5αR inhibitors might help treat schizophrenia and other mental disorders but need more research.
research The influence of selected steroid hormones on the physicochemical behaviour of DPPC liposomes
Steroid hormones change the size, charge, and stability of DPPC liposomes.
research Anabolic androgenic steroids and carcinogenicity focusing on Leydig cell: a literature review
Anabolic androgenic steroids can increase cancer risk and disrupt hormones.
research Steroid Sulfatase in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
Steroid sulfatase in hair follicles may be a target for treating hair loss.
research Treatment of severe alopecia areata with intralesional steroid injections.
Intralesional steroid injections are safe and effective for treating severe alopecia areata.
research Local Injection of Steroids and Hair Regrowth in Alopecias
Steroid injections can help regrow hair in some alopecia cases.
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1
Human bone cells mainly produce a type 1 enzyme that may help regulate bone health.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
The method accurately measures certain steroids in human hair, showing different levels in males and females.
