,
September 2005 in “Endocrinology” This study identified novel selective androgen receptor modulators with enhanced in vivo pharmacological activity through structure-activity relationship analysis in castrated rats.
1 citations
,
January 2024 in “Curēus” This study identified significant trends in interest around selective androgen receptor modulators, with increasing attention contrasting stagnant or declining interest in post-cycle therapies and anabolic steroids, and calls for clinicians to use social and prescription data to adjust treatment protocols accordingly.

March 2005 in “Current Medicinal Chemistry” This study reports that newly synthesized steroidal trienones exhibit higher 5α-reductase inhibitory activity than dienones in various biological models, suggesting potential use in treating androgen-dependent diseases.
August 2024 in “Proceeding Cendekia International Conference Health and Technology” In this quasi-experimental study, researchers explored the optimal formulation of a nanoemulsion containing candlenut ethanol extract, finding that specific combinations of tween 80, span 80, and sonication time affected its physical properties and stability, although further activity testing is needed.
February 2025 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences” This study found that melatonin may enhance hair follicle stem cell viability by downregulating the nuclear receptor RORA, which otherwise inhibits cell proliferation and promotes apoptosis.
January 2008 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry” This study suggests that finasteride may inhibit the enzyme phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase, which could contribute to its sexual and psychological side effects.
This report adds two cases of total ovarian pigmentation, with no associated symptoms or pathological findings, to the previously reported unilateral case.
September 2024 in “Open Repository of the University of Porto (University of Porto)” In this report, a participant in a Portuguese pharmacy master's program detailed their six-month internship at Farmácia Queija Ferreira, highlighting their involvement in medication preparation, creating educational resources, and studying drug interactions, including serious cases involving diclofenac and brimonidine.
13 citations
,
March 1999 in “Biochemical Journal” In this study, transgenic mice overexpressing the SSAT gene were highly sensitive to polyamine analogues, leading to severe liver changes and high mortality rates after treatment.
16 citations
,
December 2018 in “Skin pharmacology and physiology” This study found that in people with alopecia areata, oxidative stress indicators were higher and specific enzyme activities were lower compared to healthy controls, suggesting oxidative stress's significant role in disease pathogenesis.
This study reported a significant association between the SNP rs2479106 in the DENND1A gene and PCOS in Saudi Arabian females, while no association was found for SNPs rs10818854 and rs10986105.
This study found that iron metabolism, particularly serum iron and ferritin, was significantly linked to the severity of obstructive sleep apnea in individuals with androgenetic alopecia, with stronger associations observed in women.
19 citations
,
March 1998 in “Endocrinology” This study found that sex differences in somatostatin biosynthesis in rat hypothalamic neurons develop between postnatal day 1 and 5, influenced by the conversion of testosterone to estrogen.
May 2022 in “Reactions Weekly” November 1971 in “PubMed” October 2006 in “Urology” The study found that different criteria led to different patient groups in the CombAT study compared to the MTOPS study.
18 citations
,
April 2011 in “Neuropharmacology” This study found that metyrapone and etomidate provide dose-dependent anticonvulsant effects against seizures, with delayed effectiveness linked to increased neurosteroid levels.
July 2024 in “Open Repository of the University of Porto (University of Porto)” Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair growth, and pregabalin effectively treats neuropathic pain.
October 2024 in “Developmental Dynamics” This paper highlights advances in Developmental Dynamics, noting how epoa-deficient zebrafish can model Diamond-Blackfan anemia like disorders for drug screening, Alx4 mouse models offer insights into craniofacial development, and mTORC1 signaling is crucial for retinal development.

March 2017 in “Al-maǧallaẗ al-’irāqiyyaẗ li-l-’ulūm al-ṣaydalāniyyaẗ/Iraqi journal of pharmaceutical sciences” This study suggests that using nutrient antioxidants can significantly reduce the dose of prednisolone needed in alopecia areata patients while potentially enhancing hair growth and mitigating side effects.
1 citations
,
October 2005 in “Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes” This study found that in pregnant rats, the suppression of ACTH responses to IL-1β is linked to the action of endogenous opioids and AP, with AP potentially inducing opioid inhibition through increased pENK-A expression.
2 citations
,
June 2018 in “Physiology & behavior” The study found that ondansetron decreased alcohol consumption only in adult rats that experienced altered neuroactive steroid levels from early post-natal finasteride exposure, suggesting increased 5HT3 receptor sensitivity in these rats.
