The research explains how a human enzyme binds and processes its substrate, which could relate to its role in biological functions and hair loss.
research Comprehensive Clinical Management of Hirsutism
New treatments for excessive hair growth in women include insulin modulators and enzyme inhibitors.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Novel Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research New Effects of Caffeine on Corticotropin-Releasing Hormone (CRH)-Induced Stress Along the Intrafollicular Classical Hypothalamic-Pituitary-Adrenal (HPA) Axis (CRH-R1/2, IP3-R, ACTH, MC-R2) and the Neurogenic Non-HPA Axis (Substance P, p75NTR and TrkA) in Ex Vivo Human Male Androgenetic Scalp Hair Follicles
Caffeine may help reduce stress-induced hair loss.
research Hepatotoxicity with Low- and Ultralow-Dose Flutamide: A Surveillance Study on 203 Hyperandrogenic Young Females
Low and ultralow doses of flutamide can cause liver damage in young women with high androgen levels, regardless of dose or birth control use, with higher risk for those with higher BMI and liver enzyme levels before treatment.
research Corticotropin Releasing Factor-1 Receptor Antagonism Associated With Favorable Outcomes of Male Reproductive Health Biochemical Parameters
Blocking CRF1 receptors improved male hormone levels and reduced testicular tumor size in men with a specific adrenal condition.
research Urinary Steroids in Women with Androgenic Alopecia
Women with hair loss had higher levels of certain hormones, suggesting a link to a condition like PCOS.
research Treatment of Hirsutism With Spironolactone
Spironolactone is a safe and effective treatment for reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Acne: Hormonal Concepts and Therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Hormonal Parameters in Androgenetic Hair Loss in Males
Men with male pattern hair loss have different levels of certain hormones compared to men without hair loss.
research COVID-19 and Hypopituitarism
COVID-19 and hypopituitarism (reduced pituitary gland function) are linked, with the latter's related health issues potentially worsening COVID-19 outcomes, and COVID-19 possibly increasing risk for pituitary complications.
research Metabolic Dysfunction in Female Mice with Disruption of 5α-Reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Finasteride in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hair growth in women with hirsutism and works better with electrolysis.
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 Diagnosis and Treatments of Hirsutism: Where Are We?
Effective treatments for excessive hair growth in women include creams, laser therapy, and medications, with the choice depending on individual needs and potential side effects.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.
research The Androgen Excess and PCOS Society Criteria for the Polycystic Ovary Syndrome: The Complete Task Force Report
The report concludes that PCOS is mainly a condition of excess male hormones and its definition may change as new information is discovered.
research Incidence of Liver Toxicity Associated with the Use of Flutamide in Prostate Cancer Patients
