Hormones and daylight changes control when cashmere goats shed their hair.
research In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-Phenylcarbamoyl) Androst-4-en-3-one Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-Dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
![Effect of C-Ring Modifications in Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, New Selective Inhibitors of Human 5α-Reductase 1](/images/research/c687900f-ea40-4de1-8f0b-a5b818951b1c/small/15452.jpg)
research Effect of C-Ring Modifications in Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, New Selective Inhibitors of Human 5α-Reductase 1
Changing the C-ring structure in certain compounds can make them better at blocking a specific human enzyme.
research Biological Activity of Novel Progesterone Derivatives Having Bulky Ester Side Chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Dimorphic Regulation of the MafB Gene by Sex Steroids in Hamsters (Mesocricetus Auratus)
Sex steroids affect the MafB gene differently in male and female hamsters.
research Function and Underlying Mechanisms of Seasonal Color Molting in Mammals and Birds: What Keeps Them Changing in a Warming World?
Animals that change color with the seasons mainly do so in response to daylight changes, but climate change is causing camouflage problems that may require evolutionary changes.
research Melatonin and the Hair Follicle
Melatonin helps regulate hair growth and protects the hair follicle from stress.
research Non-Edg Family LPA Receptors: The Cutting Edge of LPA Research
New LPA receptors (LPA4, LPA5, LPA6) have diverse roles in the body.
research Murine Skin as a Target for Melatonin Bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.

research Sperm Aneuploidy in Infertile Male Patients: A Systematic Review of the Literature
Infertile men are more likely to produce sperm with abnormal chromosome numbers, which can affect pregnancy success and embryo health.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Hair Regrowth Inhibition by Activating Androgen Receptor in C57BL6 Mice Simulates Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT stops hair regrowth in mice, similar to human hair loss.
research Preliminary Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of Novel Non-Steroidal Antiandrogens in the Rat: Relation of Their Systemic Activity to the Formation of a Common Metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
