research Pathophysiological Mechanisms Implicated in Postpartum Depression
Postpartum depression is linked to changes in brain chemicals, inflammation, stress, and certain genes, and can potentially be identified by markers like specific steroids, serotonin levels, and vitamin D levels.
research Genetic Defects of Female Sexual Differentiation
Genetic mutations can affect female sexual development, requiring personalized medical care.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Oxidative Stress: From Bench to Bedside
Oxidative stress worsens PCOS by damaging cells and disrupting metabolism, suggesting antioxidant treatments might help.
research Finasteride Delays Atherosclerosis Progression in Mice and Is Associated With a Reduction in Plasma Cholesterol in Men

research Ovine Placental Steroid Synthesis and Metabolism in Late Gestation
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Protective Effect of DA-9401 in Finasteride-Induced Apoptosis in Rat Testis: Inositol Requiring Kinase 1 and c-Jun N-Terminal Kinase Pathway
DA-9401 helps protect rat testis from finasteride damage.
research Structure Optimization of Tetrahydropyridoindole-Based Aldose Reductase Inhibitors Improved Their Efficacy and Selectivity
Optimizing the structure of a specific compound greatly improved its effectiveness and precision for treating diabetic complications.
research Prostaglandin Metabolism in Human Hair Follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Sulforaphane Promotes Murine Hair Growth by Accelerating the Degradation of Dihydrotestosterone
Sulforaphane may help with hair growth by breaking down a hormone that causes hair loss.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Does Inhibition of Aldose Reductase Contribute to the Anti-Inflammatory Action of Setipiprant?
Setipiprant may reduce inflammation by blocking an enzyme called aldose reductase.
research Studies on Neurosteroids XXV: Influence of a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride, on Rat Brain Neurosteroid Levels and Metabolism
Finasteride almost fully depletes allopregnanolone in rat brains and enhances 20α-DHP, but doesn't change 3α-DHP levels.
research Xenobiotic-Metabolizing Enzymes in the Skin of Rat, Mouse, Pig, Guinea Pig, Man, and in Human Skin Models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Antidepressant-Like Effect of Fluoxetine May Depend on Translocator Protein Activity and Pretest Session Duration in Forced Swimming Test in Mice
Fluoxetine's effectiveness as an antidepressant in mice depends on a specific protein activity and a 5-minute pretest.
research Sulforaphane, L-Menthol, and Dexpanthenol as a Novel Active Cosmetic Ingredient Composition for Relieving Hair Loss Symptoms
A mix of sulforaphane, L-menthol, and dexpanthenol could help increase hair growth and reduce hair loss.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research In Silico Structural Prediction of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Type II
Scientists found out the structure of a human enzyme linked to prostate cancer and hair loss, which could help in designing drugs.
research Pre-Receptor Regulation of the Androgen Receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
