This study reported that a low color temperature light (1900 K) may have positive effects on melatonin secretion, eye protection, wound healing, and hair regeneration compared to higher temperature lights.

This study found that finasteride has selective effects on oxidative stress and acetylcholinesterase activity in different brain regions in rats with thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy.

This study found that PEGylated LUT-Aspasomes significantly improved neuroprotective effects in stressed rats, enhancing spatial memory, reducing depressive-like behavior, and preserving hippocampal architecture better than free luteolin. Additionally, it increased brain delivery and stability, suggesting potential for treating stress-related neurobehavioral disorders.

In this study, finasteride dose-dependently inhibited stress-induced increases in allopregnanolone in rats, while enhancing 20alpha-reduction of progesterone without affecting 3alpha-dihydroprogesterone or 11-deoxycorticosterone levels.

This study found that pharmacological inhibition of sex steroid synthesis impacts pathogenic processes in traumatic brain injury in a sex-specific manner, with distinct effects of letrozole and finasteride on molecular and neurological outcomes.

In this animal study, researchers found that finasteride may offer neuroprotective benefits as a post-ischemic treatment for strokes in aged male rats, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic agent in this context.

This chapter discusses the role of hormones in regulating reproductive biology and outlines how the endocrine system, particularly the brain and pituitary gland, controls these hormonal processes.

This study in Ramgati, Bangladesh, found that coastal residents perceive extreme temperatures and high water salinity from climate change as causing various health issues, including heat-related illnesses and maternal health problems, with older individuals and those perceiving a higher risk more affected.

This animal study found that finasteride, a 5-alpha reductase type 2 inhibitor, decreased dihydrotestosterone levels and c-Fos protein activation in the rat brain, but these effects may diminish after discontinuing the drug.

This research explores innovative methods to enhance drug delivery to the brain, including techniques like focal intra-arterial administration and temporary blood-brain barrier opening, aimed at improving treatment for brain disorders, the authors report.

This study suggests that adult hair follicle stem cells can survive and potentially differentiate into neuronal cells after being transplanted in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury, indicating promise for TBI therapy.

This study assessed the potential for Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion power in Fiji, finding higher power output and efficiency during summer due to greater temperature differences between surface and deep sea waters.

This study found that redheaded individuals had higher levels of vitamin D precursor 25(OH)D3 compared to non-redheaded individuals, suggesting a physiological adaptation to low UVB radiation in Europe.

This study found that subchronic finasteride treatment in male rats altered neuroactive steroid levels and steroid receptor expression in the brain, with some changes persisting after drug withdrawal.

This study found that finasteride significantly improved motor, EEG, and cellular changes in a rat model of thioacetamide-induced hepatic encephalopathy and prevented the development of hepatic coma.

This paper discusses the adverse effects of finasteride, including sexual dysfunction and depression, and suggests that treatment customization based on individual factors like hand preference and sexual orientation could improve outcomes and reduce these side effects.

This study concluded that 16β-methyl-17α-benzoyloxypregnen-4-en-3,20-dione may be a promising treatment for androgen-dependent diseases and epilepsy due to its antioxidant effects and impact on GABAergic and serotonergic metabolism in rats.

This study found that the circadian clock in mouse skin regulates cell proliferation and affects sensitivity to UVB-induced DNA damage, with potential implications for understanding human skin cancer risk.

This study suggests that scalp massage may reduce stress, as indicated by decreased salivary cortisol and increased secretory immunoglobulin A, and improve comfort by reducing physical fatigue and negative emotions.

This study found that platelet-rich gel is a simple and effective non-surgical method for healing exposed skull injuries, resulting in complete healing with minimal scars and sparse hair growth in all patients.

This review discusses the incidence, reversibility, and impact of chemotherapy-induced alopecia and concludes that scalp cooling is the most effective prevention method in most cases, though some questions remain.

This study used numerical models to explore the cooling power required by different scalp cooling devices to prevent chemotherapy-induced hair loss, finding that coolant temperature significantly influences scalp tissue temperatures.

This study provides evidence that psychoemotional stress inhibits hair growth in mice by affecting the brain-hair follicle axis, with specific neuropeptides and treatments modulating this effect.

In this study, researchers found that p75 neurotrophin receptor signaling affects apoptosis during hair follicle regression in mice, and altering its activity might help manage disorders involving early catagen entry.

This study found that LGR5 may play a significant role in maintaining brain cancer stem-like cells and is associated with glioma progression and poor outcomes.

This study found that men experiencing long-term symptoms after finasteride use for androgenetic alopecia frequently reported loss of penis sensitivity and anhedonia, among other effects, indicating potential post-finasteride syndrome.

This review explores the significant impacts of hormonal changes within normal physiological ranges and suggests examining low-dose effects from chemicals disrupting hormonal activity; it presents no new clinical results.

This study found that β-sitosterol, a brain-penetrable phytosterol, reduced melanoma cell growth and brain metastasis formation by interfering with mitochondrial respiration, suggesting its potential as an adjuvant therapy to BRAF inhibitors for patients with melanoma brain metastases.

This study found that male 5α-reductase 2 knockout mice showed deficits in social dominance behaviors and reduced dopamine receptor binding in a brain region related to social ranking.

This study found that in adolescent male rats, androgens enhance inhibitory avoidance memory, possibly by interacting with androgen receptors in the amygdala and hippocampus.
