research Effects of the androgen receptor overexpression in prostate cancer

January 2007

This study found that cell strains overexpressing the androgen receptor proliferated better in low or no DHT conditions and translocated AR more efficiently than control strains.

research Abstract 5561: 20(S)-Protopanaxadiol-aglycone downregulates full-length and ligand-independent splice variants of androgen receptor

April 2011 in “Cancer Research”

In this study, ginsenoside 20(S)-protopanaxadiol-aglycone (PPD) was shown to downregulate androgen receptor expression and inhibit tumor growth in prostate cancer cells.

research Wedelolactone, a medicinal plant-derived coumestan, induces caspase-dependent apoptosis in prostate cancer cells via downregulation of PKCε without inhibiting Akt

83 citations , October 2012 in “International Journal of Oncology”

In this in vitro study, wedelolactone induced selective apoptosis in prostate cancer cells by inhibiting 5-Lox activity, suggesting it may have potential as a treatment for prostate cancer.

research Redefining hormone resistance in prostate cancer

38 citations , December 2009 in “Therapeutic Advances in Medical Oncology”

This discussion proposes a model to incorporate patients with hormone-resistant prostate cancer into the existing framework by redefining hormone resistance and exploring new therapeutic approaches.

research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity

26 citations , May 2012 in “Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences”

This review discusses the structure, expression, regulation, and potential roles of NcoA4 in cancer and other pathologies, reporting no new experimental findings.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001) Pt 2

484 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%. Treatments discussed include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.

community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.

10 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.

learn Baicapil

Losing hair from hormonal imbalance? Baicapil might block DHT without messing with your hormones. No published study shows that Baicapil blocks DHT — the only data on the ingredient itself is the manufacturer's own unpublished dossier, and the baicalin research behind the claim is cancer cell-line work in which the effect was explicitly independent of the androgen receptor.
