90-120 / 1000+ results research Recent Advances in the Role of Fibroblast Growth Factors in Hair Follicle Growth
Fibroblast growth factors could be a better, safer treatment for hair loss than current options.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
PCOS is a complex disorder in women that can lead to various health risks and requires personalized treatment.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research A Humanized Mouse Model of Hereditary 1,25-Dihydroxyvitamin D–Resistant Rickets Without Alopecia
Researchers created a mouse model of a type of rickets that does not cause hair loss.
research Dihydrotestosterone-induced hair regrowth inhibition by activating androgen receptor in C57BL6 mice simulates androgenetic alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Severe androgenetic alopecia as a proxy of metabolic syndrome in male psoriatic patients older than 59 years
Severe hair loss links to metabolic issues in older men with psoriasis.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Assessment of tissue levels of dickkopf-1 in androgenetic alopecia and alopecia areata
Higher DKK-1 levels found in hair loss patients; L-ascorbic acid 2-phosphate, L-threonate, and ginsenoside F2 may help promote hair growth.
research Advances in mitochondria-centered mechanism behind the roles of androgens and androgen receptor in the regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism
Androgens and androgen receptors are important for metabolic health, affecting how the body uses glucose and fats through mitochondrial function.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research The differences between aromatizable and non-aromatizable androgens in relation to body composition and metabolic syndrome risk factors in men
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone have similar effects on body composition and metabolic health in men.
research ASSOCIATION OF ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA WITH METABOLIC SYNDROME
Men with common hair loss (AGA) are more likely to have metabolic syndrome, which increases heart disease risk. Early screening could help prevent heart disease. More research is needed to understand this relationship better.
research Androgenetic alopecia, metabolic syndrome, and insulin resistance: Is there any association? A case-control study
Hair loss linked to metabolic issues and insulin resistance; early assessment may reduce future health risks.
research Pilose antler extracts promotes hair growth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating hair follicle stem cells via the AKT and Wnt pathways
Pilose antler extracts help hair growth by activating hair follicle stem cells.
research Pharmacologically altered Androgens, Brain Activation and Response Inhibition in a Stop-Signal Task in Male Heavy Drinkers
Lower DHT and higher testosterone levels increase brain activation but don't change behavior in heavy drinkers.
research Predicting therapeutic drugs for hepatocellular carcinoma based on tissue-specific pathways
Securinine and ajmaline may effectively treat liver cancer, with securinine being less toxic to normal cells.
research Expression and Cellular Localization of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Its Receptor in Human Hyperplastic Prostate Tissue1
KGF and its receptor are found in enlarged prostate tissue and KGF strongly increases cell growth.
research A decade of progress in androgenetic alopecia management: Emerging therapies and multimodal strategies
Androgenetic alopecia treatments are becoming more personalized and include new therapies like topical antiandrogens and regenerative strategies.
research Runx1 Role in Epithelial and Cancer Cell Proliferation Implicates Lipid Metabolism and Scd1 and Soat1 Activity
Runx1 controls fat-related genes important for normal and cancer cell growth, affecting skin and hair cell behavior.
research Body composition changes and inhibition of fat development in vivo implicates androgen in regulation of stem cell lineage allocation
Androgen is important in controlling stem cell differentiation, reducing fat development, and increasing lean mass.
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 Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research Androgenetic alopecia in men and women
Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.

research Androgen excess: a hallmark of polycystic ovary syndrome
Excess androgens may cause PCOS, not just be a symptom.
