research Vitamin D3Analogs Stimulate Hair Growth in Nude Mice
Vitamin D3 analogs can promote hair growth in mice genetically prone to hair loss.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Identification of Beta-Sitosterol and Stigmasterol as Possible Inhibitors of 5 Alpha-Reductase 1: An In-Silico Study
Beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol might help prevent hair loss by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Undariopsis peterseniana Promotes Hair Growth by the Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathways
Undariopsis peterseniana extract helps hair grow by activating certain cell growth pathways and could be a new treatment for hair loss.
research Trace elements content and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research Drug-induced gynecomastia: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Certain drugs, especially antiandrogens and spironolactone, significantly increase the risk of gynecomastia.
research Genetic Analysis of Male Pattern Baldness and the 5α-Reductase Genes
Male pattern baldness is likely caused by multiple genes, not just 5α-reductase genes.
research Treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris: a systematic review
No effective treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia was found, but oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors had the best response; for lichen planopilaris, topical corticosteroids were commonly used but had a high relapse rate.
research Diagnostic approach to low‐renin hypertension
Recent genetic insights show that low-renin hypertension includes a range from essential hypertension to secondary or familial forms, affecting diagnosis and treatment.
research Development of a Doxazosin and Finasteride Transdermal System for Combination Therapy of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Researchers created a skin patch that delivers two drugs for treating enlarged prostate, which may improve patient use and dosage control.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Wound Healing Impairment in Type 2 Diabetes Model of Leptin-Deficient Mice—A Mechanistic Systematic Review
Leptin-deficient mice, used as a model for Type 2 Diabetes, have delayed wound healing due to impaired contraction and other dysfunctional cellular responses.
research Epigenetic regulation of 5α reductase-1 underlies adaptive plasticity of reproductive function and pubertal timing
Environmental factors affect reproductive traits by altering the SRD5A1 gene.
research Non-surgical management of BPH: An updated review of current literature and state of the art on natural compounds and medical therapy
Personalized treatment is crucial for effectively managing benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH).
research Ficus benghalensis as Potential Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase for Hair Growth Promotion: In Vitro, In Silico, and In Vivo Evaluation
Ficus benghalensis leaf extracts can effectively promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss.
research Bicalutamide 25 mg associated with minoxidil 1 mg versus minoxidil 1 mg for female-pattern hair loss: A randomized double-blind clinical trial
Bicalutamide added no extra benefit over minoxidil alone for female-pattern hair loss.
research The role of 5-α-reductase inhibition in supressing progression of male androgenetic alopecia − a postulate for further studies on possible application of saw palmetto extracts
Saw palmetto extracts might help treat male hair loss and need more research.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Medical management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Alpha-blockers and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors are main treatments for BPH, with new support for phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors and beta-3 agonists.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Aromatase-independent testosterone conversion into estrogenic steroids is inhibited by a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces opioid self-administration in animal models of opioid use disorder
Finasteride reduces opioid use and withdrawal symptoms in animals.
research A randomized phase II trial on the addition of dutasteride to combined androgen blockade therapy versus combined androgen blockade therapy alone in patients with advanced or metastatic salivary duct carcinoma – the DUCT study protocol
Adding dutasteride to therapy may improve treatment for advanced salivary duct cancer.
research Current issues on the genetic implications and treatment of androgenic alopecia
Hair loss is linked to heart disease and metabolic syndrome, and while current treatments vary in effectiveness, more research is needed for better solutions.
research Cytostatics and immunosuppressive drugs
Some cancer and immune system drugs can cause serious side effects, including heart, lung, nerve, and organ damage, which need careful monitoring and management.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
research Management of androgenetic alopecia
Treat hair loss with finasteride, minoxidil, or surgery; consider side effects and severity.
