research Expression of Steroidogenic Enzymes in Human Sebaceous Glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Mechanisms of Inhibition of Rat Type 1 and 2 Steroid 5α-Reductases: Determinants for Different In Vivo Activities of GI198745 and Finasteride in the Rat
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Alopecia: Unapproved Treatments or Indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Contraceptive Use in Acne
Hormonal contraceptives can help treat acne by affecting sebum production and androgen levels.
research Exfoliative Cutaneous Lupus Erythematosus in German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs: Disease Development, Progression, and Evaluation of Three Immunomodulatory Drugs (Ciclosporin, Hydroxychloroquine, and Adalimumab) in a Controlled Environment
Hydroxychloroquine showed some potential, but overall, the three drugs had limited success in treating lupus in dogs.
research Status of Sex Reassignment Surgery for Gender Identity Disorder in Japan
In Japan, sex reassignment surgery for gender identity disorder faces challenges and needs better medical support and education.
research Estrogen-Dependent Development of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Clinical Updates in Hair
Most treatments for hair loss in 1997 were not effective for most people, and maintaining hair growth was difficult.
research Physiopathological Role of the Enzymatic Complex 5α-Reductase and 3α/β-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase in the Generation of Progesterone and Testosterone Neuroactive Metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research The 5alpha-Reductase Type 1, But Not Type 2, Gene Is Expressed in Anagen Hairs Plucked from the Vertex Area of the Scalp of Hirsute Women and Normal Individuals
The gene SDR5A1 is found in scalp hair of both hirsute and normal individuals, but it does not explain differences in hair growth.
research A Connection Between the Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore, Autophagy, and Cerebral Amyloidogenesis
Dutasteride may help reduce brain plaque linked to Alzheimer's by affecting cell energy structures and waste removal.
research Rat Steroid 5α-Reductase Kinetic Characteristics: Extreme pH-Dependency of the Type II Isozyme in Prostate and Epididymis Homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Comparative Biology of Tissue Repair, Regeneration, and Aging
The symposium concluded that understanding how different species repair tissue and how this changes with age can help advance regenerative medicine.
research Kinetic Analysis of LY320236: Competitive Inhibitor of Type I and Non-Competitive Inhibitor of Type II Human Steroid 5α-Reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Alopecia: The Search for Novel Agents Continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
research Role of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone in Testicular Development of Gilthead Seabream Following Finasteride Administration
DHT affects testicular development and regulates spermatogenesis in some fish.
research Treatment of Hyperandrogenism in Women
Cyproterone acetate is the preferred treatment for women's hyperandrogenism when estrogen/progestogen use is safe.
research In Vivo Uptake and Metabolism of Testosterone by the Skin and Other Tissues of the Rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Evaluation of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Reproduction and Gonadal Development in Medaka, Oryzias Latipes
Finasteride negatively affects fish reproduction and gonadal development.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Prevention Rather Than Regrowth
Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.
research Additive In Vivo Growth-Inhibitory Effects of Flutamide and Finasteride on Androgen-Sensitive Shionogi 115 Carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research Markers of Peripheral Androgen Action In Vivo and In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research A Rare Case of an Androgen-Producing Stromal Luteoma of the Ovary in a Postmenopausal Woman, Diagnosed by Selective Venous Blood Sampling
Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.
