research Apocrine Sweat Gland Obstruction by Antiperspirants Allowing Transdermal Absorption of Cutaneous Generated Hormones and Pheromones as a Link to the Observed Incidence Rates of Breast and Prostate Cancer in the 20th Century
The document suggests that blocking sweat glands with antiperspirants might allow skin-generated hormones to be absorbed, possibly increasing breast and prostate cancer risk.
research Development and Validation of a Procedure for the Determination of Minoxidil in Hair-Regrowth Formulations Using Two Variants of Capillary Zone Electrophoresis
A method was created in 2005 to identify minoxidil, a hair growth ingredient, in products using two types of capillary zone electrophoresis, and it found that most products had about 2% minoxidil.
research Curly Hair: Measured Differences and Contributions to Breakage
Curly hair breaks more easily, especially with chemical treatments, but simpler grooming reduces breakage.
research Neonatal Allopregnanolone or Finasteride Administration Modifies Hippocampal K+ Cl− Co-Transporter Expression During Early Development in Male Rats
Allopregnanolone increases KCC2 expression in baby male rats' brains, while finasteride doesn't affect it.
research Brain Allopregnanolone Induces Marked Scratching Behavior in Diet-Induced Atopic Dermatitis Mouse Model
A brain-produced steroid causes increased scratching in mice with a skin condition similar to eczema.
research Overexpression of Hypoxia-Inducible Factor-1α in Hidradenitis Suppurativa: The Link Between Deviated Immunity and Metabolism
Increased HIF-1α is linked to the inflammation and severity of hidradenitis suppurativa, suggesting treatments that lower HIF-1α could help.
