research Hair Growth Promoting Effect of White Wax and Policosanol from White Wax on the Mouse Model of Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss
White wax and policosanol from white wax effectively reduced hair loss and promoted hair growth in mice better than a known hair growth drug.
research Azasteroids as Inhibitors of Testosterone 5α-Reductase in Mammalian Skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Androgen Biosynthetic Pathways in the Human Prostate
DHT in the human prostate is produced through multiple pathways, not just from testosterone.
research Androgen Effects in Mammals
Testosterone is crucial for development, growth, and various body functions in mammals.
research CXXC5 Mediates DHT-Induced Androgenetic Alopecia via PGD2
Targeting CXXC5 and GSK-3β may help treat male pattern baldness.
research Intracrine Androgen Biosynthesis, Metabolism, and Action Revisited
The document concludes that blocking the internal pathways that create androgens might help treat cancers that depend on sex hormones.
research Stem Cells in the Body
Stem cells regenerate tissues and their behavior varies by environment, suggesting the hematopoietic system model may need revision.
research Effect of Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, Estradiol, and Cortisol on the Quality of Fresh and Cryopreserved Stallion Sperm
Higher testosterone harms sperm motility, while higher estradiol improves sperm survival.
research Therapeutic Experience with Oral Finasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia in Female-to-Male Transgender Patients
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss in transgender men with few side effects.
research Androgen Actions on the Human Hair Follicle: Perspectives
Androgens have complex effects on hair growth, promoting it in some areas but causing hair loss in others, and our understanding of this is still evolving.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research Androgen Treatment in Adolescent Males With Hypogonadism
Testosterone therapy helps boys with hormone deficiencies develop normal male characteristics and grow properly.
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 Role of Annexin A2 Isoform 2 on the Aggregative Growth of Dermal Papillae Cells
Annexin A2 isoform 2 helps dermal papillae cells grow, affecting hair growth.
