research Enzymatic and Non-Enzymatic Sulfation Mechanisms in the Biological Actions of Minoxidil
Minoxidil needs activation to work, and minoxidil sulfate helps with hair growth and blood pressure.
research Permeant Lipophilicity and Vehicle Composition Influence Accumulation of Dyes in Hair Follicles of Human Skin
Lipophilic dyes accumulate more in hair follicles when delivered with surfactant-propylene glycol solutions.
research Local and Systemic Reduction by Topical Finasteride or Flutamide of Hamster Flank Organ Size and Enzyme Activity
Topical finasteride and flutamide reduce gland size and enzyme activity, with flutamide being more potent, potentially treating acne, seborrhea, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia.
research Evaluation of 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of Certain Herbs Useful as Antiandrogens
Some herbs show promise as antiandrogenic agents.
research Plasma C19 Steroid Sulfate Levels and Indices of Androgen Bioavailability in Female Pattern Androgenic Alopecia
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.
research Comparisons of Mouse Models for Hair Follicle Reconstitution
The flap assay grows the most natural hair but takes the longest, the chamber assay is hard work but gives dense, normal hair, and the patch assay is quick but creates poorly oriented hair with some issues.
research Retinoid-Mediated Stimulation of Steroid Sulfatase Activity in Myeloid Leukemic Cell Lines Requires RARα and RXR and Involves the Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase and ERK-MAP Kinase Pathways
Retinoids increase steroid sulfatase activity in leukemia cells through RARα/RXR and involves certain pathways like phosphoinositide 3-kinase and ERK-MAP kinase.
research Clinical Markers of Androgenicity in Acne Vulgaris
Acne severity in women may not be linked to increased male hormone indicators like excess body hair, menstrual irregularities, or hair loss.
research Bone vs. Fat: Embryonic Origin of Progenitors Determines Response to Androgen in Adipocytes and Osteoblasts
Androgens affect bone and fat cell development differently based on the cells' embryonic origin.
research Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type I in LNCaP Cells from the Roots of Angelica Koreana
Compounds from Angelica koreana roots, especially osthenol, could be effective for treating conditions like prostate disease and hair loss.
research The Use of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in the Treatment of Coronavirus Disease 2019
Mesenchymal stromal cells may help treat severe COVID-19, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness.
research Influence of Oxidative and Reductive Treatment on Human Hair: Analysis of Hair Damage
Chemical treatments and daily stresses damage hair, especially the cuticle layer.
research Abnormal Essential Fatty Acid Composition of Tissue Lipids in Genetically Diabetic Mice Is Partially Corrected by Dietary Linoleic and Gamma-Linolenic Acids
Dietary essential fatty acids improved skin and hair conditions and partially corrected fat composition in diabetic mice.
research Expression of 11β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 1 in Visceral and Subcutaneous Adipose Tissues of Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Is Associated with Adiposity
Increased HSD11B1 enzyme expression is linked to higher body fat and insulin resistance.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Chapter 17: Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs)
Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are drugs that can control the effects of androgens in different tissues, potentially having fewer side effects and promising for treating various conditions.
research Basal Cell Carcinoma, Hedgehog Signaling, and Targeted Therapeutics: The Long and Winding Road
New treatments targeting the Hedgehog pathway can help treat advanced skin cancer but may have side effects and their effectiveness in early stages is unknown.
research Efficacy of Cistanche Tubulosa and Laminaria Japonica Extracts (MK-R7) Supplement in Preventing Patterned Hair Loss and Promoting Scalp Health
MK-R7 supplement with Cistanche Tubulosa and Laminaria Japonica extracts improved hair density and scalp health without adverse effects.
research Radiation- and Chemotherapy-Induced Permanent Alopecia: Case Series
Some cancer treatments can cause permanent hair loss.
research Transcriptional Activation of CCN1 and CCN2, Targets of Canonical Wnt Signal, by Ascorbic Acid 2-Phosphate in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Vitamin C derivative may promote hair growth by activating specific genes.
research Induction of Hair Keratins Expression by an Annurca Apple-Based Nutraceutical Formulation in Human Follicular Cells
An apple-based supplement was found to stimulate hair protein production, which may help with hair growth.
research Effect of Tocopheryl Polyethylene Glycol Succinate on the Percutaneous Penetration of Minoxidil from Water/Ethanol/Polyethylene Glycol 400 Solutions
Adding TPGS to minoxidil solutions can improve skin penetration and retention, especially in water and PEG 400-based solutions.
research Vitamin D3 and Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
