research Realising the therapeutic potential of neuroactive steroid modulators of the GABAA receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Anabolic-androgenic steroids and cardiovascular risk
Using steroids can increase the risk of heart problems.
research Cutaneous manifestations of anabolic-androgenic steroid use in athletes
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin problems like acne and hair loss in athletes.
research Retrospective evaluation of sex hormones and steroid hormone intermediates in dogs with alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Spironolactone versus placebo or in combination with steroids for hirsutism and/or acne
Spironolactone is better than placebo for reducing excessive hair growth in women, but its effectiveness for acne is unclear due to small study sizes.
research New steps forward in the neuroactive steroid field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Retinoid-mediated stimulation of steroid sulfatase activity in myeloid leukemic cell lines requires RARα and RXR and involves the phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research Applications of steroid drugs entrapped in cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins improve how steroid drugs work and are used in marketed medications and environmental applications.
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 Severe steroid-dependent idiopathic angioedema with response to rituximab
A woman with severe angioedema improved significantly after treatment with rituximab.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking of Avicequinone C Analogues as Potential Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Certain compounds, especially those with a propionic substituent, could potentially be new treatments for hair loss and similar disorders.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
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 Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Rational Design of a Topical Androgen Receptor Antagonist for the Suppression of Sebum Production with Properties Suitable for Follicular Delivery
A new compound was created in 2010 that can control oil production when applied to the skin, and its effects are completely reversible after two weeks.
research 4-(Alkylthio)- and 4-(arylthio)-benzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for the topical suppression of sebum production
Chemicals called 4-(alkylthio)- and 4-(arylthio)-benzonitrile derivatives can potentially reduce oil production on skin, which could help treat conditions like acne and hair loss.
research Preparation of 4-aryl-2-trifluoromethylbenzonitrile derivatives as androgen receptor antagonists for topical suppression of sebum production
Scientists made a chemical (compound 4e) that can be applied on skin to reduce oil production, which can help with acne, but it might cause skin sensitivity to light.
research Indirect clinical markers for the detection of anabolic steroid abuse beyond the conventional doping control in athletes
New signs like changes in blood markers, physical symptoms, and behavioral shifts may help detect hidden steroid use in athletes.
research AN ATTEMPT TO ASSESS THE MAGNITUDE OF ENDOGENOUS ANDROGEN PRODUCTION IN A CASE OF THE ADRENOGENITAL SYNDROME*
