Progesterone initially worsens but later reduces neuropathic pain in mice, through different mechanisms.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Prostaglandin Metabolism in Human Hair Follicle
Human hair follicles can make and process prostaglandins, which may affect hair growth.
research Metabolism of Minoxidil, a New Hypotensive Agent: Biotransformation Following Oral Administration to Rats, Dogs, and Monkeys
Minoxidil metabolizes similarly in monkeys and humans, but differently in dogs and rats.
research Pharmacogenetic Analysis of Human Steroid 5α Reductase Type II: Comparison of Finasteride and Dutasteride
Dutasteride is more efficient than finasteride, but individual results vary.
research Preliminary Pharmacokinetics and Metabolism of Novel Non-Steroidal Antiandrogens in the Rat: Relation of Their Systemic Activity to the Formation of a Common Metabolite
Two non-steroidal antiandrogens, RU 58841 and RU 56187, form a common metabolite at different rates, which may influence their effects; RU 56187 could be used for prostate cancer treatment and RU 58841 for acne treatment.
research Estimation Methods for Human Circadian Phase Using Peripheral Tissues
New method uses hair follicle cells to estimate human body clock phase, potentially improving sleep disorder diagnosis.
research Finasteride, A Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Does Not Affect the Oxidative Metabolism of Antipyrine
