Scientists made a carbon-14 labeled version of a drug with a 48% yield and over 99% purity.

A new compound was effective for imaging prostate cancer in rats.

The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.

Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.

Oral itraconazole effectively reaches and treats deep skin layers in guinea pigs.

Researchers developed promising agents for prostate cancer imaging, with the best one showing high potential for clinical use.

Sebaceous glands in the skin play a key role in absorbing the antiandrogen drug RU 58841, especially when it's encapsulated in liposomes.

Minoxidil's effectiveness decreases as vehicle evaporates; concentration and thermodynamic activity matter.

Liposomes can make the antiandrogen RU 58841 more effective for skin application by reducing absorption, increasing skin retention, and targeting sebaceous structures.

Innovative methods are reducing animal testing and improving biomedical research.

Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School successfully created a special compound that can be used to improve imaging of prostate cancer.

New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.

Finasteride helps treat skin issues like acne and baldness by blocking testosterone conversion.

Hair absorbs different substances from solutions based on pH levels.

Decomposed tritiated thymidine is less accurate for DNA tracing, and hair changes can indicate malnutrition.

Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.

Minoxidil breakdown varies by enzymes, affecting hair loss treatment effectiveness.

Not eating enough protein can cause hair roots to shrink and lose color, and hair to become thinner.

Minoxidil helps hair growth by activating enzymes in hair follicles.

A girl with rickets and hair loss was found to have a rare condition where her body didn't respond to vitamin D treatment.

Azathioprine's effectiveness and safety require careful monitoring and more research, especially regarding its use with corticosteroids and the role of TPMT status in patients.

The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.

Human platelets change minoxidil to minoxidil sulfate, helping blood vessels widen.

Adding a small amount of TPGS to minoxidil can help hair growth, but too much TPGS reduces this effect and increases minoxidil in the blood.

Men with low or no sperm count have lower salivary testosterone levels, and saliva testing can measure their testosterone well.

Biotin supplements are unnecessary for most people but may help with certain conditions like biotin deficiency, brittle nails, and some hair loss.

Better hair loss models needed for research.

Minoxidil is processed in the body by an enzyme found in the liver and platelets.

The model better predicts how water-loving and fat-loving substances move through the skin by including tiny pores and hair follicle paths.

Thallium is highly toxic, causing severe health issues, and Prussian blue is the best antidote.
