POMC-derived peptides are important for skin functions like immune response and stress management.

Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.

The cause of Frontal fibrosing alopecia, a type of hair loss, is complex, likely involving immune responses and genetics, but is not fully understood.

The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.

Vitamin E affects liver metabolism, enhancing stress resistance, reducing blood clotting, and altering hormone processing.

The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.

The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.

The document concludes that understanding sulfation biology is crucial for creating treatments due to its importance in biological functions and disease.

Hair follicles are hormone-sensitive and involved in growth and other functions, with potential for new treatments, but more research is needed.

Menopause reduces skin collagen and elasticity, and while estrogen therapy can help, its risks require careful consideration.

Vitamin D has potential benefits for cancer prevention, heart health, diabetes, obesity, muscle function, skin health, and immune function, but clinical results are mixed and more research is needed.

Androgen use may increase the risk of stroke, but more research is needed.

Genetic defects in the glucocorticoid receptor gene can cause conditions with abnormal sensitivity to stress hormones, and other factors may also affect this sensitivity.

Mesenchymal stem cells could help treat aging-related diseases better than current methods.

Cholesterol balance is important for hair health, and problems with it can lead to hair loss conditions.

Barn owls with smaller black spots have higher testosterone levels, which might be due to genetic effects on hormone regulation rather than hormone effects on coloration.

Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.

Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.

Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.

Multi-omics techniques help understand the molecular causes of androgenetic alopecia.

Hair color is determined by melanin produced and transferred in hair follicles.
