research Prostaglandin D2 Enhances Testosterone Metabolism by ROS-Mediated Altered Redox Potential in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, which could be a new target for treating hair loss and other skin conditions driven by testosterone.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research Prostaglandin D2-Enhanced Testosterone Metabolism in Human Keratinocytes Is Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone levels in skin cells through reactive oxygen species, not enzymes, which could lead to new hair loss treatments.
research Consumption of a Low-Carbohydrate and High-Fat Diet Exaggerates Biotin Deficiency in Mice
The ketogenic diet can worsen biotin deficiency, suggesting a need for biotin supplements.
research How Does Altered Metabolism Lead to Seizure Control? Partially Filling the Knowledge Gap
Altered metabolism can help control seizures by changing brain signaling and energy use, suggesting new treatments for epilepsy.
research Role of Nutrition in the Management of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
A balanced diet and healthy lifestyle help manage PCOS symptoms.
research Reexamining the Role of Diet in Dermatology
The ketogenic diet might improve certain skin conditions, but more research is needed to confirm its effectiveness.

research Structure of Human Type II 5 Alpha-Reductase Gene
The human type II 5α-reductase gene has a specific structure important for understanding certain medical conditions.
research Estrogen Functions in Skin and Skin Appendages
Oestrogens help maintain healthy skin, heal wounds, and may protect against skin aging and cancer.
research Androgen Binding Profiles of Two Distinct Nuclear Androgen Receptors in Atlantic Croaker (Micropogonias Undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Lipedematous Scalp and Lipedematous Alopecia: Report of Three Cases in White Adults
Three white adults had a rare scalp condition with increased fat and sometimes hair loss, suggesting it's not limited to black women and might be more widespread.
research Cloning, Expression, and Characterization of Rhesus Macaque Types 1 and 2 5alpha-Reductase: Evidence for Mechanism-Based Inhibition by Finasteride
