research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
This article provides citations without reporting new findings on androgen conjugate levels in alopecia.
research Identification of Metabolites for the Novel 5α‐Reductase Inhibitor Epristeride In Vitro and Its Potential Impact on Doping Testing
This study investigated the metabolic pathways of epristeride, a new Type II 5α‐reductase inhibitor, using in vitro models and found that its metabolites show significant interactions with key proteins, suggesting implications for its role in doping control.
research Alterations in androgen conjugate levels in women and men with alopecia
This study suggests that in women with androgenic alopecia and men with premature balding, enhanced 5α-reductase activity and altered androgen conjugation, favoring sulfurylation, may be involved in scalp hair loss.
research Chapter 14 Principles of drug metabolism
This article reviews the role of enzymatic processes in drug and toxin metabolism, emphasizing their impact on solubility and elimination, without presenting new clinical findings.
research Evaluation of glucuronide metabolite stability in dried blood spots
The researchers reported that glucuronides stored as dried blood spots under ambient conditions exhibited stability equivalent to liquid samples stored at -80°C.
research Vitamin E TPGS based transferosomes augmented TAT as a promising delivery system for improved transdermal delivery of raloxifene
This study found that formulating raloxifene in nano-lipid carriers significantly enhanced its permeation and cytotoxicity against cancer cells compared to raw raloxifene.
research In vitro selective inhibition of human UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) 1A4 by finasteride, and prediction of in vivo drug–drug interactions
This study found that finasteride selectively inhibited UGT1A4 in vitro but is unlikely to cause clinically significant drug interactions mediated through hepatic UGT enzymes in vivo.
research ANDROGEN METABOLISM AS IT AFFECTS HAIR GROWTH IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA
Androgens, like DHT, affect hair growth and treatments like finasteride may help.
research Temperature-dependent phase transition microemulsions for enhanced transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin
This study evaluated a menthol-based microemulsion for transdermal delivery of finasteride and silodosin, finding that it enhanced skin permeation and flux compared to aqueous solutions, suggesting a promising method for managing benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Oral contraceptives and risk of breast cancer in women aged 20–54 years
Long-term use of oral contraceptives, especially starting before age 20, may increase the risk of early-onset breast cancer.
research The dose‐response of percutaneous oestradiol implants on the skeletons of postmenopausal women
There is no abstract available for this article on the effects of percutaneous oestradiol implants on the skeletons of postmenopausal women, and thus no new findings are reported.
research A comparison of cabergoline and bromocriptine in the treatment of hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea
This article compares cabergoline and bromocriptine for treating hyperprolactinemic amenorrhea and reports no specific findings.
research Elucidating the roles of three β-glucuronosyltransferases (GLCATs) acting on arabinogalactan-proteins using a CRISPR-Cas9 multiplexing approach in Arabidopsis
This study concluded that GLCAT14A-C genes are crucial for the function of glucuronic acid transfer to AGPs in Arabidopsis, affecting various growth and reproductive traits such as seed germination and root hair growth.
research A Comprehensive Review on Metabolic Syndrome
Managing metabolic syndrome needs both lifestyle changes and medical treatments.
research Is dehydroepiandrosterone a hormone?
This review discusses the role of DHEA in intracrinology, highlighting its impact on breast and prostate cancer treatment and potential as a menopause therapy, but reports no new research findings.
research Anticancer drugs in surface waters
This study suggests that increased use of anticancer drugs from 2004 to 2008 has led to higher environmental release, necessitating expanded monitoring and research on their ecotoxicological impacts.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
This review discusses the roles of androgens and estrogens in skin functions and disorders, and highlights the use of estrogen-progestin treatments and anti-androgens in managing hirsutism and acne, without reporting new results.
research Cutaneous Androgen Metabolism: Basic Research and Clinical Perspectives
This review explores androgen metabolism in the skin, highlighting enzyme localization and potential implications for treating androgen-dependent skin conditions, but it reports no new clinical results.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
This review discusses the biochemical properties and clinical significance of 5 alpha-reductase isozymes and reports no new clinical results.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
This study found that SZ95 sebocytes and HaCaT keratinocytes exhibit distinct enzyme expressions and activities, implicating their different roles in androgen metabolism and homeostasis in vitro.
research Anthracycline analogs The past, present, and future
Epirubicin is as effective as doxorubicin for cancer treatment with less heart damage, but doesn't work on doxorubicin-resistant cancers.
research The SAHA Syndrome
This article reviews the characteristics and classification of SAHA syndrome and its relationship with other conditions, without presenting new clinical findings.
research Polycystic ovary syndrome and impact on health
