urtica dioica

In this study, a hydro-alcoholic extract of Urtica dioica demonstrated in vitro antioxidant activity, potentially linked to its ferulic acid content.

This review explores the phytochemistry and phytopharmacology of Urtica dioica but reports no new experimental findings, focusing on its traditional uses and range of bioactive constituents.

This review discusses the potential medicinal properties and pharmacokinetic features of nettle compounds ursolic acid and quercetin, highlighting quercetin as a promising candidate for antioxidant and anti-aging effects, but reports no new clinical results.

This study identified optimal parameters for extracting oil from Urtica dioica roots to maximize phytosterol content, using corn oil and a 1:5 raw material-extract ratio over a 6-hour maceration period.

In this study, Urtica dioica extract was found to significantly downregulate 5-alpha-reductase type II gene expression in skin cells, suggesting potential usefulness against androgenic skin diseases.

The authors discussed the potential benefits of Urtica dioica and Serenoa repens for hair health, but emphasized that more concrete evidence and standardized formulations are necessary for reliable therapeutic use.

This study found that the hydroalcoholic extract of Urtica dioica L. demonstrated some clinical efficacy in reducing lesion severity in guinea pigs with Microsporum canis infections, suggesting potential as a supplementary topical treatment for tinea corporis.

This study found that Urticadioica L ethanol extracts enhanced hair growth and reduced catagen transition in human hair follicles in an ex vivo organ culture model.

In this study, Urtica dioica L. infusions were used to replace water in k-carrageenan hydrogels, resulting in stronger networks with reduced syneresis and altered textural properties, and the highest antioxidant potential was achieved with specific infusion conditions.

In this study, a hydroalcoholic extract of Urtica dioica L. showed potential for use as an adjunct topical treatment for tinea corporis in guinea pigs infected with Microsporum canis.

This review discusses phytotherapy options for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting some herbal agents show promise in trials for mild-moderate symptoms but more evidence is needed for others.

This review discusses various herbal therapies, such as Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum, for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting their potential but highlighting unresolved questions about their efficacy and safety.

This study identified several herbs, including Ganoderma lucidum and Urtica dioica, that showed promising 5α-reductase inhibitory activity suggesting potential use in managing androgenic disorders.

In this animal study, a herbal preparation demonstrated moderate anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating properties, suggesting its potential usefulness for preventing and treating alopecia.

This article reviews the usage of medicinal plants for treating certain conditions in European Turkey, detailing the plants' parts, preparatory methods, and traditional therapeutic applications but reports no new experimental results.

This study used computational methods to identify six molecules, with jamogenin being particularly promising, that effectively bind to and inhibit the enzyme linked to male pattern hair loss, suggesting these compounds could be explored further for hair growth potential.

In this study, researchers used computational methods to identify six phytochemicals from nettle, saw palmetto, and fenugreek as effective binders to 5-alpha reductase, with Jamogenin showing enhanced stability when encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles.

In this computational study, researchers identified six phytochemicals, including Jamogenin, that effectively bind to the enzyme 5-AR, potentially promoting hair growth, and found that encapsulating Jamogenin in lipid nanoparticles enhances its stability.

In this study, researchers developed a novel platform for discovering potential hair loss inhibitors by investigating the testosterone/dihydrotestosterone biosynthetic pathway and its regulation through biochemical mechanisms involving 17β-HSD and 3β-HSD, combined with medicinal plant extracts.

This study evaluated herbal cosmetic products used in Turkiye, identifying 140 plant species and highlighting walnut, common nettle, and grape as popular for various traditional uses.
