research Serum and hair steroid profiles and their associations with body composition in adolescence
Hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis for assessing hormone levels and metabolism.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Dual Wavelength LEDs Induce Reactive Oxygen Species and Nitric Oxide That Inhibit the Production of Dihydrotestosterone by 5‐α Reductase
Dual wavelength LEDs may help reduce hair loss by lowering DHT levels.
research Discovery of a novel and highly selective JAK3 inhibitor as a potent hair growth promoter
MJ04, a new compound, effectively promotes hair growth and is a potential topical treatment for hair loss.
research Androgenetic alopecia - a literature review

research Advances in hair growth
The best long-lasting results in treating hair loss may be achieved through combination therapy, including treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and platelet-rich plasma injections.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: a Review and Emerging Treatments
Hair loss, known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is often caused by hormones and can be diagnosed using noninvasive techniques. Treatments include topical minoxidil and oral finasteride, with new treatments being explored. There may also be a link between this type of hair loss and heart disease risk.
research Increased Incidence of Telogen Effluvium Following Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy in Patients with Elevated TNF-α Expression: A Prospective Cohort Study
High TNF-α levels may increase hair loss risk after PRP therapy.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Two drugs, finasteride and minoxidil, are approved for hair loss treatment, but new therapies are being developed.
research The serum evaluation of sex hormones including DHEAs, DHT, testosterone in oral lichen planus patients
Sex hormones do not cause oral lichen planus.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Medical therapy for hair loss: what we know and what we need to find out
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for male hair loss; minoxidil also helps female hair loss, with some treatments needing more research.
research Plasma androsterone/epiandrosterone sulfates as markers of 5α-reductase activity: Effect of finasteride in normal men
Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.
research Lack of effect of topical finasteride suggests an endocrine role for dihydrotestosterone
Topical finasteride doesn't reduce DHT levels, hinting at an endocrine role in hair loss.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Pharmacological Options for Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Different drugs can treat high male hormone levels in women, but they have various effects and some may harm a fetus.
