research Oxidative Activity of the Type 2 Isozyme of 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Predominates in Human Sebaceous Glands
The enzyme 17β-HSD type 2 mainly performs oxidation in human sebaceous glands, which may help protect against acne.
research Genetic Variations Associated With Response to Dutasteride in the Treatment of Male Subjects With Androgenetic Alopecia
Genetic variations affect dutasteride treatment response for male pattern hair loss.
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 Intracrinology and the Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
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 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 A New Target for Squamous Cell Skin Cancer?
Prostaglandins and the enzyme AKR1C3 could play a role in skin cancer and hair loss, and further research is needed to understand these mechanisms.
research Molecular Genetic Dissection of ILVEN Leads to Successful Targeted Therapy
Targeted therapy with Ustekinumab significantly improved a skin condition called ILVEN, which is caused by mutations in the CARD14 gene.
research Evaluation of Defensive Responses Associated with Panic in Female Rats: Serotonergic Activation Profile in the Dorsal Raphe Nucleus and Periaqueductal Gray
Female rats showed more panic-related behavior than males, influenced by hormonal cycles and certain drugs.
research CRISPR/Cas9-Based Targeted Genome Editing for Correction of Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa Using iPS Cells
The research showed that CRISPR/Cas9 can fix mutations causing a skin disease in stem cells, which then improved skin grafts in mice, but more work on safety and efficiency is needed.
research Different Polyamine Levels in the Vertex and Occipital Hair of Pattern Hair Loss Patients
People with pattern hair loss have higher polyamine levels in the top of their head compared to the back.
research Specialized Ribosomes in Human Dermal Fibroblast Senescence
Specialized ribosomes affect aging in human skin cells.
research Pre-Receptor Regulation of the Androgen Receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research New Insights Into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations From HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Efficacy of Autologous Stromal Vascular Fraction Injection in the Treatment of Androgenic Alopecia
SVF injections improve hair growth and reduce hair loss in people with androgenic alopecia.
research In Search of New Therapeutics: Molecular Aspects of the PCOS Pathophysiology - Genetics, Hormones, Metabolism and Beyond
New treatments are needed for PCOS that target its genetic, hormonal, and metabolic causes.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.
research Expression of NAD+-Dependent 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase and Protection of Prostaglandins in Human Hair Follicle
A substance called compound-1 could help increase hair growth by maintaining prostaglandin levels in hair follicles.
research The Impact of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Male Sexual Function and Psychological Well-Being
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause serious and possibly lasting sexual and psychological side effects.
research Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism: Biochemical Criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Approach to Androgen Excess in Women: Clinical and Biochemical Insights
The document concludes that a systematic approach is crucial to identify causes of androgen excess in women beyond the most common cause, Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Prostaglandin D2 Enhances Testosterone Metabolism by ROS-Mediated Altered Redox Potential in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Prostaglandin D2-Enhanced Testosterone Metabolism in Human Keratinocytes Is Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone levels in skin cells through reactive oxygen species, not enzymes, which could lead to new hair loss treatments.
