Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research Novel Insights Into the Pathways Regulating the Canine Hair Cycle and Their Deregulation in Alopecia X
The study concluded that similar pathways regulate hair growth in dogs and mice, and these pathways are disrupted in dogs with Alopecia X, affecting stem cells and hormone metabolism.
research Serum Concentrations of Dehydroepiandrosterone-Sulfate in Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with male pattern baldness don't necessarily have high levels of Dehydroepyandrosterone-sulfate, and there's no link between its levels and the severity of hair loss.
research Aldo-Keto Reductase (AKR) 1C3 Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.
research Are Sex Hormones Promising Candidates to Explain Sex Disparities in the COVID-19 Pandemic?
Sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone may affect COVID-19 severity differently in men and women, potentially influencing prevention and treatment strategies.
research Mechanism of Action of Bolandiol (19-Nortestosterone-3β,17β-Diol), a Unique Anabolic Steroid with Androgenic, Estrogenic, and Progestational Activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Ovine Placental Steroid Synthesis and Metabolism in Late Gestation
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Roles of Steroid Receptors in the Lung and COVID-19
Sex hormones may influence COVID-19 severity, with males at higher risk, and certain hormone therapies could potentially treat the virus.
