research The Neurobiology of Sexual Function
Testosterone is important for men's sexual function, may help some women's sexual desire, while other hormones and neurotransmitters also play complex roles in sexual behavior.
research National Lipid Association Recommendations for Patient-Centered Management of Dyslipidemia: Part 2
The guidelines suggest lifestyle changes, diet adjustments, and personalized medication to manage dyslipidemia and reduce heart disease risk.
research Wound Healing and Skin Regeneration
Hair growth phase and certain genes can speed up wound healing, while an inflammatory mediator can slow down new hair growth after a wound. Understanding these factors can improve tissue regeneration during wound healing.
research The Rotterdam Study: 2016 Objectives and Design Update
The Rotterdam Study found risk factors for elderly diseases, links between lifestyle and genetics with health conditions, and aimed to explore new areas like DNA methylation and sensory input effects on brain function.
research Environmental Factors and Puberty Timing: Expert Panel Research Needs
Chemicals and body size might change when puberty starts and progresses, but more research is needed to confirm this.
research Multiple Sclerosis: Side Effects of Interferon Beta Therapy and Their Management
The article suggests managing interferon beta therapy side effects in MS with dose adjustments, medications, and patient education.
research WNT Signaling in the Control of Hair Growth and Structure
The research shows that a gene called Wnt3 affects hair growth and structure, causing short hair and balding when overactive.
research Autologous Platelet-Rich Plasma: A Potential Therapeutic Tool for Promoting Hair Growth
Platelet-rich plasma can potentially promote hair growth by stimulating cell growth and increasing certain proteins.
research The Pathophysiology of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Insulin resistance is a key factor in polycystic ovary syndrome, but genetics may also contribute.
research Lack of Efficacy of Finasteride in Postmenopausal Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride doesn't effectively treat hair loss in postmenopausal women.
research Tofacitinib for the Treatment of Severe Alopecia Areata and Variants: A Study of 90 Patients
Tofacitinib is effective and safe for severe hair loss, but full regrowth is less likely after 10 years of hair loss.
research Timing of Expression of the Core Clock Gene Bmal1 Influences Its Effects on Aging and Survival
The timing of when the gene Bmal1 is active affects aging and survival, with its absence during development, not adulthood, leading to premature aging.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research A Molecular Wound Response Program Associated With Regeneration Initiation in Planarians
Planarian regeneration begins with a specific gene activation caused by injury, essential for healing and tissue regrowth.
research Medical Treatments for Male and Female Pattern Hair Loss
Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss in men, while minoxidil treats hair loss in women.
research Follicular Transport Route: Research Progress and Future Perspectives
Hair follicles help absorb and store topical compounds, aiding targeted drug delivery.
research Dermal β-Catenin Activity in Response to Epidermal Wnt Ligands Is Required for Fibroblast Proliferation and Hair Follicle Initiation
Skin needs dermal β-catenin activity for hair growth and skin cell multiplication.
research Androgen Receptor Antagonists Structure-Activity Relationships
Antiandrogens like flutamide are effective in treating conditions like prostate cancer and hair loss, but there's a need for more potent versions. Understanding their structure can help develop better treatments.
research Evidence-Based Guideline for the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Women and Men
