This review discusses the role of norepinephrine release and protein kinase C activation in the development of benign prostatic hypertrophy, suggesting potential targets for new therapies, but it reports no new clinical results.

This guide provides an overview of the complex roles and mechanisms of various receptors and channels in pharmacology but does not report new experimental results.

This study found that chemical sympathectomy inhibited hair follicle growth in mice, suggesting that sympathetic nerves may regulate keratinocyte behavior to promote hair growth.

This review discusses the role of neuro(active)steroids, particularly those in the 5α reductase pathway, in modulating dopamine signaling and their impact on neuropsychiatric disorders characterized by dopamine imbalances, including addiction, schizophrenia, and Parkinson's Disease.

This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.

Finasteride may cause sexual dysfunction by reducing epinephrine levels.

Alloxan diabetes, methylthiouracil, cortisone, and adrenaline affect how white mice hair follicles use glucose and cystine and their cell division.

This study found that in rodent models, the ability of D1 dopamine receptor activation to impair sensory gating is facilitated by 5α-reductase type 1, which produces allopregnanolone.

In this study, testosterone was found to increase the risk of arrhythmias in a rat heart model, while finasteride reduced this arrhythmogenic effect.

This report describes a rare case of ectopic adrenocorticotropic hormone syndrome caused by a pheochromocytoma that unusually co-expresses both ACTH and corticotropin-releasing hormone.

This study found that neuroactive steroids like DHEA and pregnenolone influence cocaine-induced appetence in mice through their interaction with the ς₁ receptor, suggesting a role in individual vulnerability to addiction.

This study found that minoxidil increased plasma renin activity in patients with hypertension through both an adrenergic mechanism related to heart rate changes and a secondary mechanism unrelated to propranolol.

In this study, researchers used a reporter mouse model to identify and characterize distinct subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in the gut's enteric nervous system, revealing novel populations with potential implications for understanding their roles and vulnerabilities in disease.

This review discusses the development and potential therapeutic applications of adenosine receptor agonists and positive allosteric modulators, noting that while many clinical trials have been unsuccessful, initial results for new compounds are promising.

This study found that palmitoylethanolamide may stimulate allopregnanolone synthesis and reduce oxidative stress in astrocytes through PPAR-α activation, suggesting a neuroprotective role.

This study, using a reporter mouse line, characterized diverse subtypes of dopaminergic neurons in the enteric nervous system, identifying unique subtypes with potential roles in gut function and disease.

This article reviews the regulation and roles of spermidine/spermine-N(1)-acetyltransferase (SSAT) in polyamine metabolism and its potential as a target in cancer and other diseases, without reporting new experimental results.

This study found that in rats, finasteride significantly reduced allopregnanolone in the cortex and increased both the rise and duration of dopamine levels in the prefrontal cortex in response to stress and anxiogenic stimuli.

This review discusses the physiological process of adrenarche, its impact on behavior and skeletal maturation, and its variability across sex and race, but reports no new clinical results.

This chapter reviews adverse effects of anti-anginal and beta-blocker drugs, stating that starting a beta-blocker may temporarily affect driving ability, but it reports no new clinical findings.

This review identified two promising therapeutic targets for drug repurposing to treat refractory angina in patients with angina pectoris without obstructive coronary artery disease: endothelin-1 receptor blockers and soluble guanylate cyclase stimulators.

In this study, α-MSH and cyclic AMP were found to stimulate melanogenesis in hair follicle cultures, while cyclic GMP and melatonin inhibited melanin production but not tyrosinase activity.

This study found that microbial transformation of dihydrotestosterone with two types of fungi produced eight metabolites, among which metabolites 5–7 were significant inhibitors of butyrylcholinesterase, suggesting potential in Alzheimer's disease management.

This study found that corin, a protease, plays a crucial role in eccrine sweat glands by promoting sweat and salt excretion, which helps regulate electrolyte balance.

This content contains no study findings or new results, instead referring only to statistical methods and figure captions.

This case report presents a rare instance of recurrent ACTH-independent Cushing’s syndrome due to PBMAH, coinciding with the development of a pheochromocytoma, highlighting the need for thorough reevaluation in similar recurring cases.

This study demonstrated that stress-derived neurosteroid THDOC shifts from inhibiting to activating the HPA axis under stress, presenting potential therapeutic targets for stress-related disorders.

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 study found that neuroactive steroids, through their interaction with the sigma1 receptor, influence the acquisition of cocaine's rewarding effects in mice, suggesting a role in drug addiction vulnerability.

This study found that two novel nonsteroidal derivatives inhibited specific enzymes in vitro and in vivo, leading to dihydrotestosterone accumulation in androgen-dependent glands, suggesting potential therapeutic use for mood improvement in the elderly.
