research Androgenic Alopecia: A Counterproductive Outcome of the Anabolic Effect of Androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Current and Future Medical Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for hair loss vary, but cell-based options may be the future.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia: Medical and Surgical Treatments
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, increasing length and thickness.
research Selections from Current Literature: Androgenetic Alopecia - The Science Behind a New Oral Treatment
New oral treatment, finasteride, effectively and safely treats common hair loss.
research Finasteride for Prostatic Disease: An Updated and Comprehensive Review
Finasteride helps treat prostate issues and may prevent prostate cancer in high-risk men.
research Mechanism of Action of Avicennia Marina Heartwood Extract and Avicequinone C on Human Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated from Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Evaluation of Their Potential Confounding Effect on GC-C-IRMS Doping Analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research Is Finasteride Also Effective for Acne Vulgaris?
Finasteride is not expected to be effective for treating Acne vulgaris.
research Co-Administration of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Worsens the Adverse Metabolic Effects of Prescribed Glucocorticoids
Taking 5α-reductase inhibitors with prednisolone can worsen its negative effects on metabolism.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Prevention Rather Than Regrowth
Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.
research Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Alopecia in Women
Flutamide may slightly improve hair loss in women, but finasteride does not work.
research Acne
Acne significantly affects mental health and quality of life, with research suggesting hormonal and genetic factors in its development and emphasizing early treatment to prevent scarring.
research Alfatradiol (0.025%) - An Effective and Safe Treatment Option for Androgenetic Alopecia in Women and Men
Alfatradiol (0.025%) is an effective and safe treatment for hair loss in both women and men.
research Genomic Markers and Personalized Medicine in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Comprehensive Review
Personalized treatments for hair loss are becoming more effective by using genetic information.
research The Experimental Study on the Effect of Herbal Extracts on Hair Growth and Acne
Rubus coreanum may help hair growth but not through the tested mechanisms, and none of the herbal extracts help with acne.
research Transfollicular Enhancement of Gel Containing Cationic Niosomes Loaded with Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Rice Bran Semi-Purified Fraction
The gel with special fat-loaded particles from rice bran could be an effective skin treatment for hair loss.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Steroid Hormones: Overview and Medical Applications
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Endocrine Control of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research 5α-Reductase Type 2 Gene Variant Associations with Prostate Cancer Risk, Circulating Hormone Levels, and Androgenetic Alopecia
Gene variant linked to prostate cancer, hormone levels, and hair loss.
research Brain Allopregnanolone Induces Marked Scratching Behavior in Diet-Induced Atopic Dermatitis Mouse Model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research The Implication of Neuroactive Steroids in Tourette's Syndrome Pathogenesis: A Role for 5α-Reductase?
Neuroactive steroids and the enzyme 5α-reductase might be involved in the development of Tourette's syndrome.
research Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research Is the Comb Over Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Biology of the Hair Follicle: The Basics
The document concludes that understanding hair follicle biology can lead to better hair loss treatments.
research An Observational Study of the Association Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Size of the Prostate
The conclusion is that more hair loss (androgenetic alopecia) is linked to larger prostate size, suggesting hair loss could be an early sign of benign prostatic hyperplasia.
