research Pharmacokinetic studies of minoxidil
Minoxidil quickly leaves blood, turns into urine metabolites, and has lasting blood pressure-lowering effects.
research Role of cholesterol sulfate in epidermal structure and function: Lessons from X-linked ichthyosis
Cholesterol sulfate buildup due to a genetic mutation disrupts the skin barrier, leading to the scaling skin seen in X-linked ichthyosis.
research Becker's Nevus with Ipsilateral Breast Hypoplasia: Improvement with Spironolactone
Spironolactone may help enlarge a small breast linked to Becker's nevus.
research Asymptomatic hyperprolactinemia resulting from macroprolactemia
Some patients with high prolactin levels don't show symptoms because they have a form of the hormone that's less active.
research Low-dose daily aspirin reduces topical minoxidil efficacy in androgenetic alopecia patients
Daily low-dose aspirin lowers minoxidil's effectiveness for hair loss treatment.
research Exogenous Factors in Hair Disorders
Outside factors like grooming, chemicals, and the environment can damage hair and cause disorders.
