research Changes in Bone Mineral Density in Women with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia and Their Correlations with Hair-Loss Stages: A Cross-Sectional Study
Women with early-onset baldness should be checked for early bone loss, but bone density doesn't change with baldness severity.
research Novel Progestogenic Androgens for Male Contraception: Design, Synthesis, and Activity of C7 Alpha-Substituted Testosterone
New testosterone analogs show promise for male contraception with better activity and potentially fewer side effects.
research Long Pulsed Nd: YAG Laser with Inbuilt Cool Sapphire Tip for Long-Term Hair Reduction on Type IV and V Skin: A Prospective Analysis of 200 Patients
Long pulsed Nd: YAG laser is safe and effective for long-term hair reduction in darker skin types.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Analysis of Various Factors Responsible for Hair Loss and Awareness Level in Delhi and the National Capital Region of India
Most people in the surveyed area experience hair loss, but they are not aware of the role of diet, iron, hormones, genetics, and possibly water quality in causing it.
research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Cyanidin 3-O-Arabinoside Suppresses DHT-Induced Dermal Papilla Cell Senescence by Modulating p38-Dependent ER-Mitochondria Contacts
Cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside may help treat a common form of hair loss by protecting cells against aging and improving cell function.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
research Acute, Diffuse, And Total Alopecia
Two lotions used day and night may be a good alternative to minoxidil for hair loss, with better cosmetic effects and tolerance.
research Biological Activity of Novel Progesterone Derivatives Having Bulky Ester Side Chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Effects of In Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in Male Rats
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research Hormone-Induced Aberrations in Electromagnetic Adhesion Signaling as a Developmental Factor of Androgenetic Alopecia
Hormones cause hair loss by affecting cell growth and weakening cell attraction.
research Inhibitory Activities of Some Traditional Chinese Herbs Against Testosterone 5α-Reductase and Effects of Cacumen Platycladi on Hair Regrowth in Testosterone-Treated Mice
Certain Chinese herbs, especially Cacumen platycladi, can promote hair regrowth and reduce hair loss-related hormone levels in mice.
research Influence of Dosing Time on the Efficacy and Safety of Finasteride in Rats
Dosing time affects finasteride's effectiveness and safety in rats.
research Inhibitory Effects of Pueraria Mirifica Aqueous Extracts on 5α-Reductase and Prostate Histomorphometry in Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Sprague Dawley Rats
