Stress hormone corticosterone blocks a growth factor to slow down hair stem cell activity and hair growth.
research Regulated Proenkephalin Expression in Human Skin and Cultured Skin Cells
Human skin cells produce proenkephalin, which changes with environmental factors and skin diseases.
research A Model for the Turnover of Dihydrotestosterone in the Presence of the Irreversible 5α-Reductase Inhibitors GI198745 and Finasteride
Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
research Established Risk Factors for Coronary Heart Disease Are Unrelated to Androgen-Induced Baldness in Female-to-Male Transsexuals
Baldness caused by male hormones in female-to-male transsexuals doesn't increase the risk of heart disease.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Design of a Biofluid-Absorbing Bioactive Sandwich-Structured Zn–Si Bioceramic Composite Wound Dressing for Hair Follicle Regeneration and Skin Burn Wound Healing
Wound dressing absorbs fluid, regenerates hair follicles, and heals skin burns.
research Selective Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Preparation and Characterization of Dutasteride-Loaded Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Coated with Stearic Acid-Chitosan Oligomer for Topical Delivery
The new dutasteride formula can be applied to the skin, may promote hair growth, and has fewer side effects.
research 5α-Reduced Glucocorticoids: A Story of Natural Selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Realizing the Therapeutic Potential of Neuroactive Steroid Modulators of the GABAA Receptor
Neuroactive steroids show promise for treating mental and neurological disorders by targeting GABA_A receptors.
research Whole Body and Regional Hemodynamic Effects of Minoxidil in the Conscious Dog
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure, increases heart rate, and improves blood flow in dogs.
research Male Pattern Baldness and the Risk of Prostate Cancer
Men who experienced baldness at age 20 may have double the risk of getting prostate cancer.
research The Human Gut Chemical Landscape Predicts Microbe-Mediated Biotransformation of Foods and Drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Increased Lactate Dehydrogenase Activity Is Dispensable in Squamous Carcinoma Cells of Origin
High lactate dehydrogenase activity is not necessary for the growth of squamous cell carcinoma.
research Assessment of the Usefulness of Dihydrotestosterone in the Diagnostics of Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.

Sarcoptes scabiei infection causes significant health and behavior changes in wombats.
research Enzyme Replacement Therapy Ameliorates Multiple Symptoms of Murine Homocystinuria
Enzyme replacement therapy improved multiple symptoms of homocystinuria in mice.
research Gender Differences in Cardiac Hypertrophy
Women generally handle heart enlargement better than men, but it's riskier for them if it occurs; hormones like estrogen offer some protection.
research Normal Pubertal Development in Daughters of Women With PCOS: A Controlled Study
Daughters of women with PCOS generally experience normal puberty but may have more body hair and different body fat distribution.
research Revisiting Hyper- and Hypo-Androgenism by Tandem Mass Spectrometry
The document concludes that using LC-MS/MS for measuring androgens is more accurate than older methods, but it needs careful validation and standardized references to be most effective.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
