This study found that overexpression of AKR1C3 in prostate cancer cells redirected androgen metabolism towards testosterone production, which facilitated cell proliferation, potentially reducing the effectiveness of finasteride treatment.

This study found that kukui nut oil (AMS oil) promotes hair growth in human hair follicle cultures by increasing PGF2α levels and activating Nrf2 signaling, and a human trial confirmed its efficacy in enhancing eyelash growth.

This review discusses the pathways of androgen biosynthesis and reports no new findings, highlighting the need to understand the interplay between the classic and backdoor pathways.

This review examines the patent literature on AKR1C3 inhibitors and suggests that although numerous potent inhibitors exist, further preclinical optimization is necessary before assessing their therapeutic potential in human diseases.

This study identified enzymes responsible for regulating androgen action in the human prostate, suggesting that inhibiting AKR1C2 or RL-HSD may have therapeutic potential in androgen insufficiency or benign prostatic hyperplasia, respectively.
