research Action of Thioglycolic Acid and L-Cysteine to Disulfide Cross-Links in Hair Fibers during Permanent Waving Treatment
Thioglycolic acid and L-cysteine change hair structure differently during perms, affecting hair strength and curling efficiency.
research Topical sulfonylurea as a novel therapy for hypertrichosis secondary to diazoxide, and potentially for other conditions with excess hair growth
Topical sulfonylurea may reduce excessive hair growth caused by certain medications.
research Effect of selenium sulfide suspension on hair roots.
Selenium sulfide may affect hair root health.
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 METABOLISM OF DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE BY ISOLATED HUMAN HAIR FOLLICLES
Human hair follicles can process steroid hormones like DHEA.
research Structural Changes of Hair Keratin by Reduction, Heat and subsequent Oxidation Treatments
DTDG in hair treatments reduces damage and preserves hair structure.
research Metabolism of finasteride in rat hepatic microsomes: Age and sex differences and effects of P450 inducers
Finasteride metabolism varies by age, sex, and P450 inducers, with males processing it faster.
research 1323 Human dermal fibroblasts and mast cell populations are altered in hidradenitis suppurativa, with epithelial-mesenchymal-transition signals ameliorated by spleen tyrosine kinase antagonism.
Skin cells and immune cells change in a skin condition called hidradenitis suppurativa, and a certain treatment can improve these changes.
research Metabolic syndrome and dermatological diseases: association and treatment
Metabolic syndrome is linked to skin diseases, requiring integrated treatment and monitoring.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity in hair follicle, a prognostic marker of response to the minoxidil treatment in patients with androgenetic alopecia: a review
Sulfotransferase SULT1A1 activity may predict minoxidil treatment success for hair loss.
research Metabolic pathways of eicosanoids—derivatives of arachidonic acid and their significance in skin
Eicosanoids are crucial for skin health, and targeting their pathways may help treat skin conditions.
research 130 Deciphering the role of the hexosamine pathway in skin homeostasis
The hexosamine pathway helps maintain healthy skin by affecting the skin's structure and possibly increasing hair follicle stem cells.
research Cytochrome P450: A Target for Drug Development for Skin Diseases
Modulating Cytochrome P450 activity could help develop new skin disease treatments.
research [Genetic counseling in a case of neuro-ectodermosis: Vera Price trichothiodystrophy. Brittle hair with reduced sulfur content].
research Urinary 5-ene-steroid excretion in non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 3β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase deficiency (NC-3BHSD)
Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.
research Evaluation of cardiovascular disease risk factors in patients with mycosis fungoides
Patients with mycosis fungoides have a higher risk of heart disease.
research Chemical bonds and hair behaviour—A review
Disulfide bonds are crucial for hair's strength, especially when wet.
research Reproduction Mechanism of SS Cross-Links in Permed Hair by the Washing after Reduction with Thioglycolic Acid
Washing permed hair after using thioglycolic acid helps reform strong bonds, making hair stronger.
research Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis and Metabolic Syndrome
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Application of XANES profiles to X-ray spectromicroscopy for biomedical specimens: Part II. Mapping oxidation state of cysteine in human hair
Perming and bleaching damage hair differently, with bleached hair having more cysteic acid in the cuticle.
research 190 Deficiency of the Human Cysteine Protease Inhibitor Cystatin M/E Causes Hypotrichosis and Dry Skin
Not having enough cystatin M/E protein causes less hair growth and dry skin.
research 1331 Glutathione (GSH) distribution by quantitative MALDI imaging in reconstructed human skin upon activation of GSH biosynthesis by Nrf2 pathway activator
Resveratrol activates the Nrf2 pathway in human skin, significantly increasing the production and distribution of the antioxidant glutathione.
research The SAHA Syndrome
SAHA syndrome is a condition in women involving skin and hair issues, often related to hormonal imbalances, and is treated based on the underlying cause.
research Studies of androgen metabolism and action in cultured hair and skin cells
Androgens don't directly affect hair cell growth or protein production.
research Overexpression of spermidine/spermine N1-acetyltransferase under the control of mouse metallothionein I promoter in transgenic mice: evidence for a striking post-transcriptional regulation of transgene expression by a polyamine analogue
Overexpressing SSAT in mice makes them highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, causing liver damage and high mortality.
research Food Deprivation-induced Expression of Minoxidil Sulfotransferase in the Hypothalamus Uncovered by Microarray Analysis
Food deprivation increases MST enzyme in the brain, possibly affecting energy balance.
research Sweat under surveillance: Loss of immune–metabolic loop during aging
