Pumpkin seeds may help expel parasites, but findings are retracted.

This review article highlights the potential health benefits and pharmaceutical components of pumpkin seeds, which contain proteins, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, and discusses their traditional medicinal uses and emerging applications in the food industry.

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 study found that men with androgenetic alopecia treated with pumpkin seed oil for 24 weeks experienced a notable 40% increase in hair count compared to a 10% increase with a placebo.

This study focused on designing a niosome formulation that encapsulates pumpkin seed oil for topical use, achieving high entrapment efficiency and stability over three months.

This review discusses the efficacy of the lipidosterolic extract of Serenoa repens for treating lower urinary tract symptoms and reports no new clinical results; the authors propose further examination of the existing literature and guidelines.

Botanical extracts are increasingly important in cosmetics and drugs for their effectiveness and safety, backed by traditional use and scientific evidence.

This study found that Convolvulus arvensis ethanolic extract may promote hair growth and reduce hair loss in albino mice with testosterone-induced baldness by increasing follicular density and the anagen/telogen ratio.

This review discusses the extraction, purification, modification, and biological activity of polysaccharides from Traditional Chinese Medicine and reports no new research findings.

In this randomized clinical trial, the authors reported that adipose-derived stem cell constituent extract topical solution increased hair density and thickness in patients with androgenetic alopecia over 16 weeks compared to placebo.

In this study, the ethanol extract of Zapoteca portoricensis stem significantly reduced markers of testosterone-induced benign prostate hyperplasia in male albino rats without harming liver and kidney function.

In this study, a 5% Gymnema sylvestre leaf extract formulation applied to C3H mice showed significantly delayed hair regrowth by increasing TGF-β1 and TGF-β2 expression while reducing β-catenin levels, suggesting its potential as a natural hair growth inhibitor.

This study found that aqueous extract of Pueraria mirifica, when administered to a rat model, significantly reduced prostate weight, prostatic index, and serum dihydrotestosterone levels, while also improving prostate histomorphology, suggesting its potential as an anti-BPH treatment.

This review discusses the use of supercritical carbon dioxide for extracting rice bran oil, noting its advantages over conventional methods for preserving nutrients and antioxidants, but provides no new experimental results.

This study found that the extracts of Serenoa repens, when evaluated through chemical, biological, and in silico methods, demonstrated anti-inflammatory, pro-apoptotic, and anti-androgenic activities against prostate cancer cell lines, suggesting potential therapeutic benefits and directing future pharmaceutical development.

This study found that Glehnia littoralis and Andrographis paniculata may support hair growth by protecting against oxidative stress and increasing VEGF and Wnt/β-catenin signaling in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells, with enhanced effects when combined.

This study found that oil from CG17 garden cress seeds had higher amounts of β-carotenoids, tocopherols, and vitamins compared to other genotypes, with varying physiochemical properties across all seeds.

This study reports that topical pumpkin seed oil and sesame oil were both effective in treating alopecia areata, with no significant difference in effectiveness between the two after three months.

This study in mice found that topical pumpkin seed oil promoted hair growth and could be a promising alternative treatment for male pattern alopecia.

This study found that the optimal method to introduce Saw Palmetto extract into emulsion bases for androgenic alopecia treatment involves mixing it with 48% ethanol at the end of the formulation process.

This study found that fermented camel milk containing 50% pumpkin seed milk significantly improved oxidative stress markers in rats and enhanced sensory and physicochemical properties compared to untreated groups.

This study suggests that while some evidence indicates potential efficacy of placental products for hair growth and inhibiting hair loss, the current scientific evidence is scarce and of low quality.

This review discusses the potential of herbal treatments like Saw palmetto, Green tea, and Rosemary as alternatives to conventional drugs for androgenetic alopecia, noting that these herbs may inhibit the 5-alpha-reductase enzyme and reduce hair loss with fewer side effects.

This review discusses the potential benefits of converting pumpkin seeds, often considered industrial waste, into valuable nutrition-rich materials, but reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses the use of natural products in cosmetic preparations for skin and hair care, but reports no new research results.

This review critically examines the current medical management strategies for BPH/LUTS and reports no new experimental results.

This review discusses current topical treatments, natural products, and complementary therapies for androgenetic alopecia, but it reports no new clinical results.

In this review, researchers explore various treatment options for alopecia, focusing on nano-drug delivery systems using plant-based substances, which are potentially effective and less harmful than current treatments, while also highlighting emerging trends such as 3D bioprinting and plant extracts for future therapies.

This review discusses the use of nanomaterials in cosmetics, highlighting their benefits like enhanced stability and skin penetration, while also noting potential health risks and the role of natural ingredients in formulations.

This study reports that pumpkin seed oil-loaded niosomes significantly decreased hair loss and increased hair growth indicators in vivo, suggesting potential as a natural anti-hair loss therapy.
