research Progesterone Pretreatment Enhances Serotonin-Stimulated BDNF Gene Expression in Rat C6 Glioma Cells Through Production of 5α-Reduced Neurosteroids
research Preventable effect of L-threonate, an ascorbate metabolite, on androgen-driven balding via repression of dihydrotestosteroneinduced dickkopf-1 expression in human hair dermal papilla cells
L-threonate may help prevent balding by blocking a key protein.
research The HOXC13-controlled expression of early hair keratin genes in the human hair follicle does not involve TALE proteins MEIS and PREP as cofactors
research Hairless Up‐Regulates Tgf‐β2 Expression via Down‐Regulation of miR‐31 in the Skin of “Hairpoor” (HrHp) Mice
HR protein causes abnormal hair cycles by increasing Tgf-β2 and reducing miR-31.
research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Joint Public Review: Touch receptor end-organ innervation and function require sensory neuron expression of the transcription factor Meis2
Meis2 is essential for touch sensation and nerve function in mice.
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.
