research Fadrozole and finasteride exposures modulate sex steroid- and thyroid hormone-related gene expression in Silurana (Xenopus) tropicalis early larval development
Fadrozole and finasteride change gene expression related to sex hormones and thyroid hormones in frog larvae development.
research Synthesis of phenanthridin-3-one derivatives: Non-steroidal inhibitors of steroid 5-α-reductase
New chemicals were made that can block an enzyme linked to hair loss, prostate growth, and acne.
research 697 Prostaglandin D2-enhanced testosterone metabolism in human keratinocytes is mediated by reactive oxygen species
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone levels in skin cells through reactive oxygen species, not enzymes, which could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research The biochemical and phenotypic characterization of females homozygous for 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency.
Females with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency have less body hair, no acne, normal fertility, and delayed menarche.
research Effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids on the pilosebaceous unit.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin issues like acne and oily skin by enlarging oil glands and changing skin oils.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
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.
research In vitrometabolism of dehydroepiandrosterone and testosterone by canine hair follicle cells
Canine hair follicle cells metabolize DHEA and testosterone differently than human cells.
