In this animal study, methanolic extract of *Cordia plathytyrsa* increased testosterone synthesis in male rats but had limited effects on metabolic parameters, while *Piptadeniastrum africanum* raised triglycerides and both extracts did not cause oxidative stress.

This study found that methanolic extract of Cordia plathytyrsa increased testosterone levels in male rats but did not affect other evaluated metabolic parameters.

This study found that 90% of African pygmy hedgehogs at Golden Dhonje Farm in Bogor District were affected by potential zoonotic fungi, including Scopulariopsis sp. and Penicillium sp.

This study suggests that 9-Octadecenoic acid (Z)-, 2,3-dihydroxypropyl ester from African Yam bean seeds may inhibit the human 5α-reductase II enzyme, potentially helping manage BPH, although further studies are needed.

This case study reports a 30-year-old woman with a mixed infection of white piedra and pediculosis capitis, indicating the difficulty in distinguishing between these conditions upon casual examination.

In this literature review, researchers identified 68 African plants used in hair treatment, noting that 58 of these may also help with glucose metabolism issues, suggesting a nutritional therapy approach might explain their benefits.

This review examines existing scientific literature on African plants with anti-cancer properties and reports no new experimental results.

This study found that Piper nigrum leaf extract showed in vivo anti-androgenic activity and potent 5α-reductase inhibitory effects, with piperine and (−)-cubebin identified as active components.

This case report highlights the simultaneous presence of white piedra, identified as T. inkin, and pediculosis capitis in one patient to emphasize their clinical distinctions.

This study found that ethanol extract of fragrant pandanus leaves inhibited the growth of the dandruff-causing fungus Pityrosporum ovale, with higher concentrations showing greater inhibitory effects.

This review discusses various herbal therapies, such as Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum, for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia, noting their potential but highlighting unresolved questions about their efficacy and safety.

This study found that Atractylodes macrocephala Koidz. extract promotes anagen entry and hair regrowth by enhancing dermal papilla cell activity and supporting hair cycle progression in a mouse model.

African plum is linked to treating BPH and has economic benefits.

This study suggests that pilose antler extracts promote hair regrowth in androgenetic alopecia mice by activating the AKT and Wnt pathways, enhancing hair follicle stem cell proliferation.

This study identified Aquilaria sinensis and Piper cubeba as tropical plants with potential anti-androgenic and anti-estrogenic properties that could help prevent or alleviate benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer.

This laboratory study found that PI extract, along with its metabolites Ang and Mac, inhibited cell proliferation and protein expression linked to pathways involved in BPH, suggesting potential for therapeutic use, although the Ang-Mac combination showed no significant effect on apoptosis through the p53 pathway.

This study found that certain fatty acids and triterpenoid-glycosides from Eclipta prostrata L. leaves exhibit potent inhibitory effects on the protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B enzyme, suggesting potential anti-diabetic and anti-obesity benefits.

This study found that compound 4 from Urtica triangularis subsp. pinnatifida exhibited stronger anti-BPH activity against BPH-1 cells with an IC50 of 79.75 μM compared to finasteride's IC50 of 91.8 μM, while compounds 1, 2, and 5 showed moderate activity.

This report describes two cases of white piedra caused by Trichosporon inkin in a northern climate, detailing clinical findings and diagnosis without presenting new experimental results.

In this study, PA-011, a traditional Chinese medicine extract, was shown to improve hair growth in alopecia areata model mice by reducing skin inflammation and altering skin microbiota, indicating its potential therapeutic role for this condition.

This case study reported a rare infection by Trichosporon inkin, causing white piedra in a family in Southern Brazil, emphasizing the importance of molecular tools for precise identification.

This study documented 70 plant species used by traditional healers in Namibia to manage AIDS-related opportunistic diseases and highlighted the need for further research on their anti-HIV properties and potential over-exploitation.

In this study, the pi4kβ1β2 double mutant in Arabidopsis thaliana exhibited altered root growth, increased susceptibility to Blumeria graminis, and a potential correlation between PI4K activity and auxin response and immunity due to changes in vesicular trafficking and actin filaments.

This study observed that pilose antler extract promoted hair growth in mice with androgenetic alopecia by stimulating the hair follicle growth cycle via the SHH/GLI pathway activation and BMP/Smad pathway suppression.

This study found that Piedraia hortae invades and damages human hair by slowly degrading keratin in the cortex, which may contribute to the fungus's persistence and the chronic nature of the infection.

This report describes three cases of white piedra of scalp hair, identifying Trichosporon inkin and Trichosporon mucoides as the fungi responsible, which are uncommon causes of this condition.

In a laboratory setting, this study found that Biotrinine® dry extract activated hair follicle growth pathways and increased certain growth factor secretions in human dermal papilla cells, suggesting potential benefits for treating chronic hair loss.

In this study, researchers found that petroleum ether extract of Eclipta alba significantly stimulated follicular keratinocyte proliferation and reduced TGF-β1 expression in nude mice, suggesting potential use for certain types of alopecia.
