A new mutation in the human glucocorticoid receptor reduces its function and causes resistance to glucocorticoids.
research Prolactin and Its Receptor Are Expressed in Murine Hair Follicle Epithelium, Show Hair Cycle-Dependent Expression, and Induce Catagen
Prolactin affects hair growth cycles and can cause early hair follicle regression.
research Olfactory Receptor OR2AT4 Regulates Human Hair Growth
A certain smell receptor in hair follicles can affect hair growth when activated by a synthetic sandalwood scent.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
