research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Finasteride
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade cancer chances.
research A Randomized, Double-Blind Controlled Study of the Efficacy and Safety of Topical Solution of 0.25% Finasteride Admixed with 3% Minoxidil vs. 3% Minoxidil Solution in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride and minoxidil mix works better for hair growth than minoxidil alone, with similar safety.
research A Bald Statement: Current Approaches to Manipulate Miniaturization Focus Only on Promoting Hair Growth
The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.
research Evaluation of the Effect of Injection of Dutasteride as a Mesotherapeutic Tool in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Males
Dutasteride mesotherapy helps treat male hair loss but may harm sperm and sexual function.
research A Review on Tectona Grandis
Teak is a durable, termite-resistant wood with medicinal benefits.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Clinical Features, Classification, and Treatments
Male pattern hair loss is genetic and influenced by hormones, with treatments like minoxidil and surgery available.
research Hormonal Regulation of Hair Follicles Exhibits a Biological Paradox
Androgens can both stimulate and cause hair loss, and understanding their effects is key to treating hair disorders.
research An Appraisal of Laboratory Models of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Better hair loss models needed for research.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Medical Treatments for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss in men, while minoxidil treats hair loss in women.
research Adverse Event Reporting in Clinical Trials of Finasteride for Androgenic Alopecia: A Meta-Analysis
Finasteride for hair loss may cause long-lasting side effects like impotence and low libido, but trials lack proper safety reporting.
research Alopecia and the Metabolic Syndrome
Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.
research The Laboratory in the Multidisciplinary Diagnosis of Differences or Disorders of Sex Development (DSD)
Diagnosing sex development disorders requires combining medical history, physical exams, imaging, lab tests, and genetic data.
research Molecular Epidemiology of Hypospadias: Review of Genetic and Environmental Risk Factors
Both genes and environmental factors like chemicals may contribute to the increase in hypospadias, but the exact causes are still unclear.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
research Ginseng in Hair Growth and Viability
Ginseng, especially its component ginsenosides, can promote hair growth, reduce hair loss, and potentially treat conditions like alopecia by affecting cell pathways and cytokines.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treat hair loss with finasteride, minoxidil, or surgery; consider side effects and severity.
research Safety Aspects of Androgen Treatment with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and may help with baldness, but effects on sexual function and male fetuses are unclear.
research Estimating the Contribution of the Prostate to Blood Dihydrotestosterone
The normal human prostate does not significantly affect blood DHT levels.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treat hair loss with medicine, continue indefinitely.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Identification of a New Plant Extract for Androgenic Alopecia Treatment Using a Non-Radioactive Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cell-Based Assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Incidence of Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Men Receiving Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Population-Based Cohort Study
Men taking dutasteride or finasteride have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
