research Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase: Role in Hair Loss and Prostate Health
Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase play a role in hair loss and prostate health, and finasteride can increase hair growth in men without affecting sperm production, but it doesn't work for postmenopausal women with hair loss.
research Active Compounds With Medicinal Potential Found in Maxillariinae Benth. Representatives: A Review
Maxillariinae orchids contain 62 compounds with potential health benefits, including treating skin conditions and diseases like cancer and diabetes.
research Investigation of Transcriptional Gene Profiling in Normal Murine Hair Follicular Substructures Using Next-Generation Sequencing to Provide Potential Insights into Skin Disease
Hair follicles have a more inactive cell cycle than other skin cells, which may help develop targeted therapies for skin diseases and cancer.
research Impact of Androgen Status and Anti-Androgen Therapy on the Course of COVID-19 in Men
Men with higher androgen levels may have severe COVID-19 symptoms, but those on antiandrogen therapy are less likely to contract the virus and have milder symptoms. Anti-androgen drugs could potentially treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research Biochemical and Structural Characteristics, Gene Regulation, Physiological, Pathological and Clinical Features of Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase as a Multifunctional Lipocalin
Lipocalin-Type Prostaglandin D2 Synthase (L-PGDS) is a protein that plays many roles in the body, including sleep regulation, pain management, food intake, and protection against harmful substances. It also affects fat metabolism, glucose intolerance, cell maturation, and is involved in various diseases like diabetes, cancer, and arthritis. It can influence sex organ development and embryonic cell differentiation, and its levels can be used as a diagnostic marker for certain conditions.
research Herbs for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
Herbal treatments can help with early-stage BPH symptoms, but more research is needed.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
