research Red Ginseng Extract Promotes Hair Growth in Cultured Human Hair Follicles
Red Ginseng Extract may help human hair grow by activating growth pathways and blocking negative effects of certain hormones.
research Androgens Modify Wnt Agonists/Antagonists Expression Balance in Dermal Papilla Cells Preventing Hair Follicle Stem Cell Differentiation in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Defects in Androgen Biosynthesis Causing 46,XY Disorders of Sexual Development
Genetic defects in androgen production are linked to male developmental disorders and are improving treatment understanding.
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 Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Ursolic Acid Reduces Prostate Size and Dihydrotestosterone Level in a Rat Model of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Ursolic acid can shrink the prostate and lower a hormone linked to prostate growth in rats.
research Ornithine Decarboxylase Is Upregulated by the Androgen Receptor in Skeletal Muscle and Regulates Myoblast Proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research A Cell-Based System for Screening Hair Growth-Promoting Agents
Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.
research Finasteride Versus Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.
research 5-Alpha Reductase Deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research Use of Finasteride in the Treatment of Men With Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride effectively improves hair growth and slows hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract of Quercus Acutissima Cortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Membrane Androgen Receptors May Mediate Androgen Reinforcement
Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.
research Immunohistochemical Evaluation of Androgen Receptor and Nerve Structure Density in Human Prepuce from Patients with Persistent Sexual Side Effects after Finasteride Use for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway That Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Epitestosterone—An Endogenous Antiandrogen?
Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.
