research Mechanisms of Action of Dehydroepiandrosterone
This review examines the physiological, biochemical, and molecular mechanisms by which DHEA and DHEA-S influence various bodily systems, citing rodent studies, but presents no new clinical results.
research The naked truth: Sphynx and Devon Rex cat breed mutations in KRT71
In this study, specific genetic polymorphisms in the KRT71 gene were associated with hairless and curly phenotypes in Sphynx and Devon Rex cats.
research 0163 Specific targeting of dermal papilla cells with Hhip-Cre
Hhip-Cre effectively targets dermal papilla cells for gene manipulation in hair biology.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
This study found that 11α-hydroxyprogesterone is a potent inhibitor of 11βHSD2 in vitro and may serve as a precursor to unique C11α-hydroxy steroids in prostate cancer tissue.
research Diosgenin: Chemistry, extraction, quantification and health benefits
This review discusses diosgenin's potential benefits for several chronic diseases and emphasizes extraction and quantification techniques, but reports no clinical findings.
