This study found that women with polycystic ovary syndrome have higher serum VEGF-B levels, which are linked to insulin resistance and decrease after metformin treatment.

This research examined the ultrastructure of deer hair fibers and found significant variations in diameter, cuticle thickness, and intermediate filament arrangements among different fiber types.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This study isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

This study hypothesizes that a mummified 19th Century girl in San Francisco died of severe undernourishment potentially due to a bacterial-borne disease, highlighting historical health challenges mitigated by modern sanitation and medicine.

This study found that using 2-hydroxypropyl-ß-cyclodextrin (HP-ß-CD) to encapsulate minoxidil can create a stable aqueous solution, potentially replacing the need for organic solvents in topical treatments for androgenic alopecia.

In this study, all stereoisomers of cyoctol were synthesized and tested, revealing that contrary to initial patent claims, cyoctol does not function as an anti-androgen.

This study found that α-spinasterol treatment significantly reduced testosterone propionate-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats, suggesting potential benefits for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that pregnane derivatives with higher lipophilicity, like compound 9d, had stronger androgen receptor binding and greater antiandrogenic effects in rats, correlating relative binding affinity with log P values.

This review discusses dietary manipulation strategies in a mouse model of CBS deficiency and reports no new results; the authors emphasize the importance of understanding gene-diet interactions.

This study identified a new lignan and 21 known compounds from Asiasarum heterotropoides roots, with two compounds showing potential anticancer activity by influencing NO production, FOXP3 expression, and HIF-1α activity in vitro.

This study found that dutasteride reduced β-amyloid plaque load in a cerebral amyloidosis model, seemingly linked to mitochondrial apoptosis and autophagy processes.

This study found that procyanidin oligomers from apples and barley may stimulate hair growth by promoting hair epithelial cell proliferation and protecting them from apoptosis via MEK activation in a murine model.

This study found that using anhydrous cerium(III) chloride with alkyl Grignard reagents significantly improved the addition to sterically hindered 17-ketosteroids, resulting in high yields and stereoselectivity.

This animal study found that biscuits fortified with zinc oxide nanoparticles improved growth, appetite, and hair growth in zinc-deficient rats more effectively than traditional zinc forms, without apparent toxicity.

In this study, melatonin administration enhanced various cellular and structural features of the scrotal skin in Soay rams, including increased thickness, cell count, and gland activity.

This study reported that compounds isolated from Alpinia zerumbet significantly promoted hair cell growth and exhibited anticancer activity in cell cultures, suggesting potential as treatments for alopecia and cancer.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study found that a transdermal delivery system using 3% azone and P407 gel may enhance the skin permeation of doxazosin and finasteride for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that low-level laser therapy increased the expression of proteins in dermal papilla tissues, suggesting it promotes hair growth in male androgenetic alopecia patients.

This study found that mixtures used in permanent hair dyes had irritant effects on reconstructed human epidermis, while individual ingredients alone did not.

In this study, the researchers successfully increased dipicolinic acid production in Bacillus subtilis by genetically modifying the spoVF operon, achieving a significant productivity improvement in the culture medium.

The researchers reported that sterol surfactants with a bulky planar structure effectively solubilized ultraviolet ray absorbers, offering a stable solution more efficiently than other surfactants.

This study found that octahydrobenzo[c]quinolizin-3-one derivatives, particularly compound 3, were potent and selective inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 1.

In this study, 4-substituted N-(1,1-dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides were synthesized and evaluated in vitro as potential 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens.

This study reports that synthetic carbohydrate receptors effectively inhibit Zika virus infection in cell cultures by blocking early stages of viral entry.

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

This study found that testosterone enhances insulin secretion in human pancreatic islets by being converted into DHT and E2, processes that are necessary for this effect.

In this study, oil body-bound oleosin-rhFGF-10 was more efficiently absorbed through the skin and enhanced wound healing and hair growth in mice, compared to prokaryotically-expressed rhFGF-10.

This study found that metabolite levels in hair samples differ significantly by hair color and segment, leading to recommendations for best practices in hair metabolomic studies.
