research The Use of Platelet-Rich Plasma in Wound Healing and Vitiligo: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) may improve healing in chronic wounds and vitiligo and promote hair regrowth, but more research is needed.
research Studies on the Persistence of Estradiol Benzoate and Nortestosterone Decanoate in Hair of Cattle Following Treatment with Growth Promoters, Determined by Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Detecting steroid esters in cattle hair is inconsistent and influenced by sampling factors.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.
research 2014 Female Athlete Triad Coalition Consensus Statement on Treatment and Return to Play of the Female Athlete Triad: 1st International Conference Held in San Francisco, California, May 2012 and 2nd International Conference Held in Indianapolis, Indiana, May 2013
The consensus provided guidelines for treating the Female Athlete Triad and a system to decide when athletes can return to sports.
research Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling: Function, Biological Mechanisms, and Therapeutic Opportunities
The Wnt/β-catenin pathway is important for body functions and diseases, and targeting it may treat conditions like cancer, but with safety challenges.
research Dual-Action Icariin-Containing Thermosensitive Hydrogel for Wound Macrophage Polarization and Hair Follicle Neogenesis
The gel with icariin speeds up wound healing, reduces scarring, and helps hair growth by controlling BMP4 signaling. It also reduces inflammation and improves wound quality in mice, adapts to different wound shapes, and gradually releases icariin to aid healing. It also prevents too much collagen and myofibroblast formation during skin healing.
research A Comprehensive Review of Platelet-Rich Plasma for the Treatment of Dermatologic Disorders
Platelet-rich plasma can increase hair density and may help treat some skin conditions, but it's costly, not FDA-approved, and needs more research.
research Sex Chromosome Related Dimorphism in Steroidogenic Enzymes and Androgen Receptor in Response to Testosterone Treatment: An In Vitro Study on Human Primary Skeletal Muscle Cells
Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.
research Anabolic and Metabolic Effects of Testosterone and Other Androgens: Direct Effects and Role of Testosterone Metabolic Products
Testosterone and its metabolites have varied effects on different body systems, especially during puberty.
research Cutaneous Manifestations of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroid Use in Athletes
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin problems like acne and hair loss in athletes.
research Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids and Cardiovascular Risk
Using steroids can increase the risk of heart problems.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors: Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Histopathological Effects of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids (Nandrolone Decanoate) on Heart, Liver, and Kidney of Male Local Rabbits
Nandrolone decanoate damages the heart, liver, and kidneys.
research Effects of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids on the Pilosebaceous Unit
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin issues like acne and oily skin by enlarging oil glands and changing skin oils.
research Effects of Abuse of Anabolic Androgenic Steroids on Iraqi Athletes
Abuse of anabolic steroids in Iraqi athletes leads to negative effects on hormones, liver and kidney function, blood sugar, and cholesterol levels.
research Low Anabolic Profile in Assessing a Patient’s Overall Hair Loss
Certain supplements, like whey protein isolate and growth hormones, can worsen hair loss.
research Top Ten Clinical Pearls in the Treatment of Acne Vulgaris
Start acne treatment early to prevent scarring, consider antibiotic resistance, use maintenance therapy, and manage side effects carefully.
research Dermatologic Signs and Symptoms of Substance Abuse
Substance abuse can cause various skin problems, including marks from injections, sores, premature aging, and increased cancer risk.
