AMP-303 injections can increase hair growth in androgenetic alopecia with minimal side effects.

This article discusses the potential role of oral DHEA, available as a 'dietary supplement' in the US, in COVID-19 morbidity and mortality, calling for clinical trials to assess its safety.

This study observed that acute stress in rats increased neurosteroid levels linked to enhanced GABA(A) receptor function, raising seizure thresholds, while similar effects were seen in mice with deoxycorticosterone administration.

In this study, adrenalectomy in black rats on a vitamin B-deficient diet restored hair growth and melanin deposition, effects reversed using adrenal cortical hormones.

In this study, the researchers report that a modified epimorphin-derived peptide shows potential for hair follicle regeneration, especially when used with 1% minoxidil in mice.

This study developed a new clustering model to improve detection of drug-induced cognitive disorder risk signals, finding that it identified drugs with moderate risk signals, like Carbidopa/Levodopa, missed by traditional methods, enhancing clinical assessment comprehensiveness.

This study concluded that anabolic-androgenic steroids negatively impact male reproductive health, including reduced testosterone production, impaired sperm production, and increased risk of sexual dysfunction and metabolic issues.

This study discusses how chronic ethanol exposure and withdrawal affect GABAA receptor subunit expression and function, finding that some changes can be selectively blocked by certain drugs like diazepam and finasteride.

This study found that 4-MA is a potent inhibitor of testosterone 5α-reductase in human tissues, promising potential for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions like male pattern baldness.

This study elucidated the multi-component and multi-target mechanisms by which TR and Am may provide therapeutic benefits for treating androgenetic alopecia.

This study reported a rare case where a pheochromocytoma produced ACTH, leading to cyclic Cushing syndrome, and underscores the importance of considering this possibility in cases of ACTH-dependent hypercortisolism with an adrenal mass.

This presentation explored recent developments in treating alcohol, opioid, and cannabis addiction, highlighting promising pharmacological and behavioral therapies, such as extended-release naltrexone for alcohol use and long-acting buprenorphine for opioids, alongside emerging strategies for cannabis use disorder.

This study investigated the metabolic pathways of epristeride, a new Type II 5α‐reductase inhibitor, using in vitro models and found that its metabolites show significant interactions with key proteins, suggesting implications for its role in doping control.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This review discusses the historical development, mechanisms of action, and potential new clinical applications of the drug cepharanthine, highlighting its multi-faceted pharmacological properties; it reports no new clinical results.

This study found that several newly synthesized dihydrobenzopyran compounds inhibited insulin secretion and had vasorelaxant activity, with some more potent than reference KATP channel activators, though compound 21 functioned as a Ca2+ entry blocker.

This case report describes a 23-year-old Asian woman with fluoxetine non-responsive trichotillomania who showed significant improvement with bupropion and cognitive behavior therapy, though confirmation in larger trials is needed.

These drugs cause hair growth without affecting testosterone or adrenal hormones.

This study found that in Withdrawal Seizure-Prone mice, ethanol withdrawal decreased the sensitivity of GABA A receptors to GABAergic neurosteroids in certain areas of the brain.

ACTH promotes hair growth in mink, but α-MSH does not.

This study demonstrated that the glycolytic inhibitor 2-deoxy-D-glucose enhances antiseizure effects by potentiating extrasynaptic tonic GABAergic inhibition through neurosteroidogenesis in hippocampal slices.

In this study, researchers found that taking Saw palmetto and Pygeum africana supplements for five days altered the urinary steroid profile in a way that may interfere with the steroidal module of the Athlete Biological Passport.

This study found that adenosine promotes hair growth by stimulating the Wnt/β-catenin pathway in cultured human dermal papilla cells through activation of the adenosine receptor.

This study observed that testosterone combined with hormonal contraceptives elevated hormones like estrone and testosterone, altered coagulation factors, and increased sexual behavior frequency in female capuchin monkeys.

This study suggests that combining the 5α-reductase inhibitor 4-MA with the antiandrogen Flutamide may improve prostate cancer therapy by additively inhibiting prostatic growth and androgen-sensitive functions in rats.

This study demonstrated that α-phellandrene promotes dermal papilla cell proliferation through a cAMP-mediated pathway and upregulates VEGF expression, suggesting its potential use in hair loss prevention.

In this study, researchers found that during late pregnancy, neuroactive steroid fluctuations increase the number of extrasynaptic GABAA receptors in rat hippocampal cells.

This study found that anabolic steroid use combined with plakoglobin deficiency caused pathological atrial electrical remodeling in young male mice, suggesting a higher risk of atrial myopathy for males with desmosomal gene variants.
