February 2026 in “Toxicology Letters” This study used an in silico/in vitro approach to identify potential inhibitors of the enzyme SRD5A2, finding that the androgen receptor modulator MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor, although it does not act as a covalent inhibitor like finasteride.
7 citations
,
March 1990 in “Pigment Cell Research” This animal study observed that while topical MBEH and intraperitoneal phenol induced hair graying in eumelanic mice, they had little effect on pheomelanic mice, and amcinonide reduced certain epidermal melanocytes in both.
5 citations
,
May 1983 in “Australian journal of biological sciences” This study found that concurrent administration of cycloleucine with ethionine prevented the weakening of wool fibers in sheep, whereas reduced glutathione did not have the same effect.
97 citations
,
December 2010 in “Journal of Neuroscience” This study found that midazolam, unlike clonazepam, increased neurosteroid levels and affected synaptic inhibition and plasticity in rat hippocampal neurons, suggesting unique actions via dual receptor activation.

April 2022 in “Journal of Chromatography B” The new method can measure sleep-related hormones in hair effectively and could help track long-term sleep patterns.
June 2022 in “Research Square (Research Square)” This study revealed that metformin, beyond its hypoglycemic use, may have potential reuse in treating obesity, cardio-cerebrovascular diseases, and more, including possible future applications for Alzheimer's and other conditions.
4 citations
,
December 2014 in “European Journal of Chemistry” This study synthesized and characterized new 2-hydroxypyrrolidine/piperidine derivatives using FeCl₃·6H₂O as a catalyst, but it reports no biological or clinical results.
3 citations
,
January 2024 in “In Vivo” In this study, mice on a methionine-deficient diet experienced hair loss, which was not remedied by homocysteine supplementation; hair regrowth only resumed after methionine was reintroduced, suggesting dietary methionine is essential for hair maintenance.
4 citations
,
May 2014 in “PubMed” This study found that monoethanolamine-based hair color formulations caused significantly more damage to hair than ammonia-based formulations, especially at high concentrations.

August 2002 in “Journal of Medicinal Chemistry” This study reports that 2-(1-Adamantyl)-4H-thiochromen-4-on-6-O-sulfamate is the most potent steroid sulfatase inhibitor identified so far, exhibiting 170-fold higher activity than the lead compound estrone sulfamate.
This study found that Polygonum multiflorum radix ethanol extract may promote melanin synthesis, potentially helping to turn gray hair back to black by enhancing antioxidant activity and increasing tyrosinase expression.
August 1994 in “Molecular Endocrinology” This study found that AtT-20 pituitary cells with higher cAMP-dependent kinase activity had larger calcium currents and significantly increased beta-endorphin release compared to cells with lower kinase activity.
September 2012 in “European journal of psychotraumatology” This study presents a new LC-MS/MS method that allows for more accurate detection of seven steroid hormones in human hair, enhancing the specificity and reliability of hormone analysis in psychoneuroendocrinological research.
