Prolactin affects hair growth and skin conditions, and could be a target for new skin disease treatments.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT, a testosterone byproduct, causes male pattern baldness.
research Genetic and Molecular Aspects of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is mainly caused by genetic factors and increased androgen activity, leading to hair follicle miniaturization.
research Pathomechanism of Androgenetic Alopecia and New Treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Endocrinology Overview: Male Reproductive Endocrinology and HPT Axis

research Secretome of Mesenchymal Stromal Cells as a Possible Innovative Therapeutic Tool in Facial Nerve Injury Treatment
The secretome from mesenchymal stromal cells shows promise for improving facial nerve injury treatment.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque
Testosterone can slow hair growth in adult monkeys, but a blocker called RU 58841 can counteract this and potentially help hair regrow.
research Endocrinology of the Aging Prostate: Current Concepts
Hormones affect prostate health and disease, with certain hormone imbalances linked to prostate cancer and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research SnapshotDx Quiz: August 2019
The research found that male pattern hair loss is mostly genetic and involves hair thinning due to hormonal effects and changes in gene expression.
research Pharmacological Basis for Clinical Use of Antiandrogens
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by blocking male sex hormones.
research Androgen Regulation of a Specific Gene in Hamster Flank Organs
Male hormones control a specific gene in hamster skin, with different hormones having varying effects.
research Regulation of Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase in the Skin of Normal and Hirsute Women
The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.
research Regulation of Masculinization: Androgen Signaling for External Genitalia Development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Structure-Activity Relationships of Novel Androgen Receptor Ligands with Multiple Substituents in the B-Ring
