The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Knowledge, Attitude and Perceptions of the Population Towards Vitamin D in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
People in Jeddah know about Vitamin D and its sources but are unclear on how much they need daily, and while many women take supplements, attitudes towards increasing Vitamin D levels vary.
research Hair Transplantation in Migraine Headache Patients
Some migraine sufferers had no more headaches after getting a hair transplant.
research Diphenyl Cresyl Phosphate [MAK Value Documentations, 2003]
Diphenyl cresyl phosphate has low toxicity but can harm the liver, kidneys, adrenal glands, and testicles at high doses.
research Alopecia in Association with Malignancy: A Review
Hair loss in cancer patients can be related to the cancer itself, treatment, or other conditions, and understanding it is important for diagnosis and patient care.
research The Influence of Various Parameters on the Success of Sensor-Controlled Scalp Cooling in Preventing Chemotherapy-Induced Alopecia
Scalp cooling can prevent hair loss in 65% of chemotherapy patients, especially effective in breast cancer patients and certain chemotherapy types.
research Chemotherapy-Induced Hair Loss: The Use of Biomarkers for Predicting Alopecic Severity and Treatment Efficacy
Scalp cooling to prevent hair loss from chemotherapy works for some but not all, and studying hair damage markers could improve prevention and treatment.
