research Rat Steroid 5α-Reductase Kinetic Characteristics: Extreme pH-Dependency of the Type II Isozyme in Prostate and Epididymis Homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Hirsutism
Hirsutism is too much hair growth in women like the pattern in men, often caused by high male hormones, and can be treated with hormone control and hair removal methods.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Minoxidil
Minoxidil effectively treats severe hypertension but has notable side effects.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Cell Density-Dependent Upregulation of PDCD4 in Keratinocytes and Its Implications for Epidermal Homeostasis and Repair
PDCD4 is important for controlling skin cell growth and healing.
