research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
research Radioimmunoassay of Minoxidil in Human Serum
Minoxidil levels measured in human blood.
research Minimum Structural Requirements for Minoxidil Inhibition of Lysyl Hydroxylase in Cultured Fibroblasts
Minoxidil needs specific structure to block lysyl hydroxylase; exploring alternatives may keep benefits without this effect.
research Hair Matrix Cell Kinetics: A Selective Review
Hair growth is influenced by factors like genetics and nutrition, and more research is needed to understand hair loss and growth mechanisms.
research Management of Endocrine Disease: Hyperandrogenic States in Women - Pitfalls in Laboratory Diagnosis
Diagnosing hyperandrogenism in women is complex and requires accurate testing methods and consideration of SHBG levels.
