This study developed a specific radioimmunoassay to measure minoxidil levels in human serum directly from a single oral dose.

This article reviews the role of prebiotics and the potential of green tea and selenium as alternatives due to their non-toxic nature, but it reports no new research findings.

The document concludes that there are still unknowns about the effectiveness, risks, and detection of performance-enhancing drugs, and doping remains a challenge.

In this study, isotretinoin treatment in women with severe acne increased body weight and triglycerides but did not affect androgens or insulin sensitivity.

This study established a normative free androgen index range of 0.7-6.4 and identified a cut-off value of 6.1 for reproductive-age women in southern China, highlighting hyperandrogenic women's increased metabolic disorder risks.

This review discusses plant extracts for dermatological use, highlighting evidence that some can reduce edema in chronic venous insufficiency or help treat actinic keratoses, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this study, adipose-derived stem cells from superficial adipose tissue showed higher regenerative potential, and more macrophages were found in superficial than deep adipose tissue, potentially influenced by skin microbiota.

This study found that unsaturated fatty acids are more abundant in the cortex of human hair than on its surface, and steryl glycoside-like lipids may help bind the cuticle to the cortex.

This study found that a 5-mg daily dose of transdermal testosterone cream in postmenopausal women restored testosterone levels to those typical of premenopausal women.

This review discusses the potential link between long-term transdermal exposure to sex hormones from antiperspirants and increased breast and prostate cancer rates, calling for further research to confirm this theory.

This study found no general elevation in androgen levels among men predisposed to balding, despite a correlation with the free-to-total testosterone ratio; no link was observed with acne.

This case report describes a 20-year-old female who ingested an unknown quantity of minoxidil tablets in an overdose, presenting with cardiovascular symptoms, but her condition stabilized after supportive care.

This review discusses the ethnobotanical uses and phytochemistry of Plumbago zeylanica L., highlighting its potential pharmacological benefits for conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders, but reports no new experimental findings.

This review discusses the various treatment options for frontal fibrosing alopecia but reports no definitive results, as no treatment has proven effective in halting hairline recession or promoting hair growth.

This study found that SDR5A1 gene expression was similar between hirsute women, normal women, and men, suggesting it may not explain differences in hair growth among these groups.

This review discusses the management of androgenic disorders in women, highlighting that treatment is generally more effective than recognized, though improvement may take weeks or months to appear.

This study found that the penetration enhancer SEPA™ significantly increased both the speed and amount of hair growth from minoxidil in balding stumptail macaques compared to Rogaine®.

Over 50% of women over 50 experience hair loss, with minoxidil being the only proven effective treatment.

In this study, serum PSA levels were higher in women with PCOS, suggesting it may serve as a marker for hyperandrogenism in this condition.

In this study, women with androgenic alopecia showed increased excretion of steroid metabolites and heightened 5α-reductase activity, suggesting these may contribute to the condition's hormonal abnormalities.

This study found that a phytosomal delivery system improved the bioavailability of Cuscuta reflexa extract compared to the plain extract, suggesting enhanced potential for this formulation.

This study found that Prosopis farcta is a rich source of phenolic compounds with strong antioxidant activity, suggesting its potential for use in food, beverage, feed, and pharmaceutical applications.

This study found that the optimized finasteride-loaded lyophilized tablets using a self-nanoemulsifying drug delivery system improved bioavailability in human volunteers compared to the marketed finasteride product.

The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excessive hair growth are temporary and not well-studied.

This study found that phyto-vesicles of ß-sitosterol showed better absorption and improved activity for treating androgenetic alopecia in rats compared to the compound and its complex.

This article reviews current evaluation and treatment options for androgenic alopecia in women and reports no new clinical results.

This study found that compound 3, a tetrahydropyridoindole carboxymethylated at position 5, significantly inhibited sorbitol accumulation in both rat eye lenses and tissues affected by diabetes, indicating its potential as a lead compound for ALR2 inhibition.

This study constructed a panel of pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic genes, revealing that current SNP chips insufficiently capture many drug-response gene variants, highlighting the need for complementary genetic approaches.

This study found that men with androgenic alopecia had significantly higher levels of certain urinary steroid metabolites, suggesting increased 5 alpha-reductase activity and possible mild hyperadrenal activity.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.
