This study found that the L457(3.43)R mutation in the human luteinizing hormone receptor increases phosphodiesterase activity, reducing hormonal response despite elevated basal cAMP levels.

This study found that bimatoprost stimulated hair growth in both human scalp follicle cultures and mouse pelage in vivo, suggesting it might offer a promising treatment for scalp alopecias.

This study found that high doses of progesterone significantly inhibited neuroblastoma growth in both in vitro and mouse models, while showing selective toxicity and minimal harm to healthy cells.

This study found that female patients with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum prolactin levels compared to healthy controls, which contrasts with previous findings linking higher prolactin to hair loss.

This report highlights a case where a woman's use of the dopamine agonist pramipexole for Parkinson's disease was associated with hair loss, which improved after discontinuing the drug.

In this study, elevated prolactin and DHEA-S levels along with reduced SBP were observed in fertile non-obese women with moderate body hair compared to controls, and ethynylestradiol plus desogestrel or cyproterone acetate treatment improved clinical outcomes by increasing SBP.

This study found that in newborn rats, progesterone's effects on apnoea frequency are influenced by a sex-specific balance between its metabolite allopregnanolone and progesterone receptors.

This case study observed that discontinuing risperidone reduced elevated prolactin levels and improved hair thinning in a 77-year-old woman, suggesting risperidone-associated telogen effluvium as a consideration in similar cases.

This study examines the pathogenetic role of hormonal imbalances in chronic prostatitis, highlighting that decreased androgens and increased estrogens contribute to prostate inflammation and impaired spermatogenesis, and explores hormonal therapies' potential for restoring reproductive function.

This case study reports that in an 8-year-old male, a pituitary adenoma causing isolated high LH secretion led to early testosterone-driven puberty without typical testicular enlargement, highlighting the differential roles of LH and FSH in pubertal development.

This study found that finasteride blocked the progesterone-induced increase in spike-wave discharges in rats, suggesting that this effect of progesterone is mediated by its metabolite allopregnanolone.

This study observed that Poria cocos polysaccharides and finasteride both reduced inflammation in chronic nonbacterial prostatitis in rats, but only Poria cocos polysaccharides reversed related changes in the gut microbiota.

This study identified that androgens increase calcium sensitization in mouse colonic smooth muscle by activating the Rho/Rho kinase pathway, highlighting its role in modulating muscle contractility.

This study found no significant difference in serum prolactin levels between vitiligo patients and healthy controls, nor any significant association between prolactin gene polymorphism and vitiligo severity, except for a significant relation with BMI.

In this study, ginsenoside 20(S)-protopanaxadiol-aglycone (PPD) was shown to downregulate androgen receptor expression and inhibit tumor growth in prostate cancer cells.

This study found that systemic administration of NDP-MSH, a melanocortin receptor agonist, provided neuroprotective effects on dopaminergic nigrostriatal neurons in a mouse model of Parkinson's disease, reducing neuroinflammation and suggesting a role for regulatory T cells in these neuroprotective effects.

This study found that progesterone enhances the survival of newborn neurons in the hippocampus of adult male mice, which is associated with improved spatial learning and memory.

This review found that bimatoprost effectively treats chemotherapy-induced eyelash loss, known as milphosis, in cancer patients, as demonstrated in three small trials, but further research is needed due to limitations like small sample sizes and short follow-up periods.

In this study, BP201, derived from porcine lung phospholipids, promoted hair growth in mice, especially when combined with minoxidil, and increased hair follicle numbers and dermal papilla cell proliferation.

The researchers reported that in mice, prolactin signaling in the skin epithelium inhibits hair follicle stem cell activation, promoting quiescence during periods of high serum prolactin like pregnancy and lactation.

This article reviews clinical and treatment aspects of hyperandrogenism in women, emphasizing the roles of diagnostic practices, combined oral contraceptives, and cyproterone acetate, but introduces no new findings.

This study demonstrated that a finasteride-loaded proniosome significantly enhanced transfollicular delivery and hair growth in mice without causing skin irritation, with effects comparable to a 2% minoxidil solution.

This study found that cortisol increases mac25/IGFBP-rP1 expression in osteoblast-enriched cells from fetal rat calvariae, indicating transcriptional regulation which may influence IGF and insulin effects in bone.

This study observed that beef cattle with certain prolactin receptor gene mutations, known as slick mutations, demonstrated improved post-weaning growth and temperature regulation in a hot, humid climate compared to other genotypes, suggesting genotype influences growth efficiency and heat tolerance.

This study found that maternal PPARγ is essential for preventing the production of inflammatory lipids in mouse milk, which can otherwise cause inflammation, alopecia, and growth retardation in nursing pups.

This study found that mammary resident macrophages play a key role in mammary tissue development by influencing cell division and maintaining mammary stem cell activity through the TNF-α-Cdk1/Cyclin B1 signaling pathway, highlighting their importance in the mammary stem cell niche.

Finasteride increases hair growth, prolongs hair cycle, and lowers dihydrotestosterone levels.

This study found that in pregnant rats, the suppression of ACTH responses to IL-1β is linked to the action of endogenous opioids and AP, with AP potentially inducing opioid inhibition through increased pENK-A expression.

This study indicates that progesterone’s anesthetic activity in PR knockout mice is not due to progesterone receptors but is partially mediated by the neurosteroid allopregnanolone through GABAA receptor potentiation.
