In this study, ketoconazole treatment improved acne in all women and reduced hirsutism in some, but it caused several side effects and requires careful monitoring.

This study found that overexpression of AKR1C3 in prostate cancer cells redirected androgen metabolism towards testosterone production, which facilitated cell proliferation, potentially reducing the effectiveness of finasteride treatment.

This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats led to enduring effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition after withdrawal.

This study found that basement membrane components and structures in mouse hair follicles are highly specialized for specific inter-tissue interactions, with laminin α5 playing a crucial role in hair cycle regulation and anchoring.

This study found that individuals with early onset extensive androgenetic alopecia have an elevated ratio of DHT to testosterone, but no significant genetic linkage to markers on chromosomes 2 or 5 was detected.

This article reviews the potential neuroprotective effects of 17α‐estradiol in neurodegenerative diseases and highlights its possibly lower toxicity compared to more feminizing hormones, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This study identifies substance P, TNFα, and IFNγ as novel regulators of prolactin and its receptor expression in human skin, suggesting intracutaneous prolactin is not controlled by dopamine.

This review examines hormonal influences on acne development and available hormonal therapies but reports no new clinical results.

This review compiles existing data on frontal fibrosing alopecia and highlights the promise of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors as a treatment option, while noting the need for clarity on its cause and progression.

In this study, fraction No. 3 of Oryza sativa bran extract demonstrated high unsaturated fatty acid content and significant 5α-reductase inhibition, suggesting potential for developing anti-androgenic alopecia products.

This review discusses how certain genetic, infectious, and metabolic conditions might influence disease severity and highlights the potential for new therapies, but it presents no new research findings.

This study reports that five new progesterone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme and binding affinity for the androgen receptor in an in vitro hamster model.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This study found that anthralin and mechlorethamine were the most effective therapies among those tested in AA-affected rodent models, providing a basis for further analysis of their mechanisms in Alopecia Areata.

This review discusses the role of inheritance, androgens, and microinflammation in androgenetic alopecia and suggests some plant-based folk remedies may help address these factors but reports no new clinical results.

In this study, minoxidil significantly downregulated interleukin-1 alpha expression in human keratinocyte cells, suggesting an anti-inflammatory effect that may be a mechanism of action in treating alopecia.

This study found that a synthetic avicequinone C analogue, 5e, was significantly more potent in inhibiting steroid 5α-reductase type 1 activity in human keratinocytes compared to the original isolated compound.

This study developed a new competitive 5alpha-reductase inhibitor with an IC(50) of 0.84 microM using a novel chemical structure.

This study found that octahydrobenzo[c]quinolizin-3-one derivatives, particularly compound 3, were potent and selective inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase type 1.

This study found that a high-energy shock wave can increase osteogenic activities in human mesenchymal cells, offering insights into potential therapeutic targets for trauma-induced heterotopic ossification.

This article reviews the potential of combining antiandrogenic and antiestrogenic treatments for BPH, highlighting aromatase inhibitors, but presents no new clinical results; further research is needed.

This review discusses the potential benefits of phytochemicals for hair care and emphasizes the need for more robust preclinical and clinical studies, without reporting new clinical results.

This study found that several compounds from Yangxue Shengfa capsule may promote hair growth by enhancing cell proliferation in vitro, suggesting potential use in treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study found that topical ginsenoside Rg1 may protect skin from UVB-induced damage in mice by reducing pathological changes and modulating cytokine mRNA expression associated with inflammation and immune response.

This study found that Lepidium sativum leaf extract significantly downregulated VEGF, TNF-α, and SRD5A2 gene expressions in HaCaT cells, suggesting potential benefits for inflammatory and androgen-dependent skin disorders.

This study found that topical application of Astragalus membranaceus extract induced hair regrowth and reduced immune response markers in mice with natural hair loss.

This study reports that a 30% ethanol extract of a plant mixture enhanced hair growth in human hair dermal papilla cells and mice, suggesting potential use in hair growth products.

This review discusses the nutritional and medicinal benefits of breadfruit and highlights challenges in promoting its consumption, but reports no new empirical findings.

This study reports that using molecular docking methods, beta-sitosterol and stigmasterol from Serenoa repens were identified as potential natural inhibitors of the 5AR1 enzyme, which could serve as novel treatments for androgenetic alopecia based on their inhibitory action observed in a laboratory setting.

This review summarizes the bioactive compounds and pharmacological functions of Cynomorium songaricum Rupr., emphasizing its potential in developing health-related products, and notes that further research is needed.
