![Effect of C-Ring Modifications in Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, New Selective Inhibitors of Human 5α-Reductase 1](/images/research/c687900f-ea40-4de1-8f0b-a5b818951b1c/small/15452.jpg)
research Effect of C-Ring Modifications in Benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, New Selective Inhibitors of Human 5α-Reductase 1
Changing the C-ring structure in certain compounds can make them better at blocking a specific human enzyme.
research The Mechanisms of Anabolic Steroids, Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators, and Myostatin Inhibitors
Anabolic steroids boost muscle growth, SARMs increase muscle mass and bone density without side effects, and myostatin inhibitors block a protein that stops muscle growth, but each has potential risks.
research Anti-Anginal and Beta-Adrenoceptor Blocking Drugs
Beta-blockers and anti-anginal medications have various side effects and interactions that require careful monitoring and individualized treatment.
research From Basal Cell Carcinoma Morphogenesis to Alopecia Induced by Hedgehog Inhibitors: Connecting the Dots
The article concludes that hair loss is a common side effect of drugs treating skin cancer by blocking the hedgehog pathway, but treatment should continue, and more selective drugs might prevent this side effect.
research Selectively Targeting JAK1 or JAK3 Pathway Is Sufficient to Reverse Alopecia Areata
Blocking JAK1 or JAK3 helps reverse hair loss in a mouse model of alopecia areata.
research Glucocorticoid Receptor Antagonism Improves Glucose Metabolism in a Mouse Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
