This study found that Ganoderma lucidum extracts showed weak 5alpha-reductase inhibition but significantly inhibited prostate cell proliferation and testosterone-driven prostate growth in rats, suggesting potential as an ingredient for treating androgen-induced diseases.

This study reports that five new progesterone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme and binding affinity for the androgen receptor in an in vitro hamster model.

Accurate method measures finasteride levels in human plasma using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.

This study reported that newly synthesized phenanthridin-3-one derivatives effectively inhibit human steroid 5-α-reductase.

This research investigated aqueous alginate-based hydrogels for delivering minoxidil and reported that using hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) with molar substitution 0.65 significantly enhanced minoxidil's solubility and skin permeability without damaging the epidermis, suggesting potential as an alternative to commercial minoxidil solutions.

This study found that Sargassum muticum extract and apo-9′-fucoxanthinone promoted hair growth in rat and mouse models by increasing dermal papilla cell proliferation and activating certain signaling pathways.

The study created a test that found hormonal and toxic effects in plant and fungal extracts using prostate cancer cells.

This study found that the methanolic heartwood extract of Avicennia marina significantly inhibits 5α-reductase type 1, reducing 5α-DHT production by 52% in a cell-based assay with human hair dermal papilla cells.

This review explains the mechanical composition and molecular interactions that determine hair's mechanical properties, without providing any new experimental findings.

This study found that compound 10 inhibited testosterone conversion to DHT in hamster flank organs and seminal vesicles, whereas compound 11's inhibitory effect varied with dose, linked to halogen electronegativity differences.

This study reports that Ca 2+ binding alters the dynamics and surface properties of PKD-like domains in Clostridium histolyticum collagenases, enhancing their stability and potentially aiding in collagen-targeting vehicle development.

In this study, 17β-estradiol increased VEGF production in differentiated THP-1 cells, while dihydrotestosterone counteracted this effect by modulating adenylate cyclase activity.

This study found that several new pregnane derivatives, especially steroids 16 and 19, demonstrated higher antiandrogenic activity on male hamster models than the commonly used finasteride.

This review explores the potential genetic and epigenetic influences on hair whorl patterns and suggests that pattern formation may involve basic physical-chemical laws, although it reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that linoleic acid from Malva verticillata seed extracts may promote hair follicle cell growth and counteract hair loss signaling in a lab setting.

This study isolated new geranylated coumarins from Mammea siamensis flowers and found that several of these compounds inhibit testosterone 5α-reductase.

This review discusses the effectiveness of non-thermal, non-ablative devices like light-emitting diodes in treating various skin and hair conditions but reports no new clinical findings.
