October 1982 in “PubMed” This article reports two cases where zinc deficiency caused by excessive bowel resection and parenteral nutrition led to skin lesions that improved rapidly with zinc sulfate supplementation.
This case study describes a 34-year-old male developing painful inflammatory scalp nodules post-scalp microinfusion of medication. The findings suggest that repeated microtrauma or bacterial colonization might trigger dissecting cellulitis in susceptible individuals, with exogenous testosterone as a potential modifier, not a direct cause.
September 2025 in “Drug Design Development and Therapy” This study suggests that while platelet-rich products show promise in treating dermatological conditions like chronic wounds and skin aging, there is still a need for standardized methodologies and extensive trials to confirm their long-term clinical benefits.
May 2024 in “The Journal of Immunology” In a mouse model of alopecia areata, this study found that IL-27 overexpression using an adeno-associated virus protected against disease development, potentially by promoting immunosuppressive T cells and reducing CD8 T cell infiltration into hair follicles.
November 2023 in “JAAD case reports” This research indicates that androgens may drive hidradenitis suppurativa in some patients, as they show higher testosterone levels compared to nonaffected controls, and testosterone-lowering medications are established treatments for milder cases.
January 2016 in “Xumu Shouyi Xuebao” January 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Medicine” Testosterone boosts physical performance, grip strength, and lean body mass in older men with low testosterone.

February 2019 in “Journal of Cellular Biochemistry” This study reports a complex network of blood lncRNA and associated pathways in alopecia areata but suggests further research is needed for verification and understanding of these findings.

November 2019 in “Archives of breast cancer” This review discusses non-oral hormonal contraceptives and other exogenous steroid hormones, reporting they are generally safe for temporary use in women without breast cancer, but data are limited.
July 2026 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” March 2026 in “Stem Cell Reviews and Reports”
October 2022 in “Frontiers in Genetics” This study found that miRNAs increase and target mRNAs and lncRNAs decrease from the anagen to telogen phase in mouse hair follicles, and these ceRNA networks may play a role in hair follicle cycling.
September 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study reports that hydrocolloid wound dressings emit energy capable of delaying evaporation in a potassium ferricyanide solution surrounding a hair follicle.
July 2024 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” IL-27 may help prevent hair loss in alopecia areata by promoting immunosuppressive T cells.
January 2005 in “Journal of Investigative Medicine” This study found that testosterone therapy improved physical performance, strength, lean body mass, and serum cholesterol in older men with low testosterone levels, with or without the addition of finasteride.
49 citations
,
March 2014 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology” This study demonstrated that combining AMD3100 with low-dose tacrolimus in a stem cell mobilization approach significantly reduced wound healing time and improved scar and hair follicle regeneration in full-thickness skin wounds.
41 citations
,
February 2012 in “Journal of Neuroendocrinology” This study suggests that in late pregnancy, allopregnanolone induces opioid inhibition of oxytocin secretion in response to immune challenge, potentially minimizing the risk of preterm labor in rats.
37 citations
,
April 2013 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” This study found that environmental factors such as smoking, alcohol consumption, exercise, and testosterone levels may significantly influence various forms of hair loss in male identical twins.
35 citations
,
November 1989 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry/Journal of Steroid Biochemistry” This study found that epitestosterone acts as a weak antiandrogen by inhibiting receptor binding and 5α-reductase activity in animal models.
31 citations
,
November 2014 in “Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science” This study reported that in rat retinas under high pressure, allopregnanolone synthesis increased and helped reduce pressure-induced damage through GABAA receptors, suggesting potential therapeutic use in glaucoma.
30 citations
,
March 2001 in “Environmental Health Perspectives” 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.
21 citations
,
November 2012 in “Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery” The researchers reported that various environmental factors and higher testosterone levels were linked to different patterns of hair loss in women with androgenic alopecia.
12 citations
,
February 2018 in “Scientific Reports” This study demonstrated that pharmacologically mobilizing endogenous bone marrow stem cells with AMD3100 and low-dose FK506 can enhance liver regeneration and improve liver function in rats after extensive hepatectomy.
11 citations
,
October 2020 in “General and comparative endocrinology” This study found that age-related fluctuations in hormones and endocannabinoids in male C57BL/6 mice showed specific patterns, with peak values observed around 2.7 to 3.4 months, with these patterns seen in both plasma and hair but with different magnitudes.

March 2001 in “Environmental Health Perspectives” Small hormonal imbalances can cause significant health problems, so more sensitive testing for hormone-disrupting chemicals is needed.
May 2024 in “International journal of medicine and psychology.” In this study, researchers observed that obese women experienced heightened levels of endogenous intoxication shortly after undergoing a cesarean section, which may point to potential complications. Further research is needed to create effective strategies for preventing and treating post-operative complications in this population.
In this study of hydroponically grown tomatoes, the authors reported that adding melatonin at 10-30 μmol·L-1 effectively enhanced lateral root development, root hair growth, biomass accumulation, and root activity by influencing related gene expression and hormone levels.
June 2015 in “OhioLink ETD Center (Ohio Library and Information Network)” This study found that acute UVB exposure in mice increases the synthesis of retinoic acid in the epidermis, which is necessary for normal repair from UVB light.
September 2002 in “Epiliepsy currents/Epilepsy currents” This study found that deoxycorticosterone-derived neurosteroids modulate GABA A receptor function and may influence stress-induced changes in seizure susceptibility by elevating seizure thresholds in animal models.
