research Xenobiotic-Metabolizing Enzymes in the Skin of Rat, Mouse, Pig, Guinea Pig, Man, and in Human Skin Models
Different species and human skin models vary in their skin enzyme activities, with pig skin and some models closely matching human skin, useful for safety assessments and understanding the skin's protective roles.
research The Human Gut Chemical Landscape Predicts Microbe-Mediated Biotransformation of Foods and Drugs
The study developed a tool to predict how gut microbes process foods and drugs, showing that similar compounds often share metabolic pathways and effects.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway That Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Novel and Established Potassium Channel Openers Stimulate Hair Growth In Vitro: Implications for Their Modes of Action in Hair Follicles
Potassium channel openers like minoxidil help hair grow by acting on hair follicles.
research Low-Level Light and Minoxidil 5% Combination Versus Either Modality Alone in Management of Female Patterned Hair Loss: A Randomized Controlled Study
Combining low-level light therapy and minoxidil 5% is more effective for female hair loss than using either treatment alone.
research Biphasic Effects of Minoxidil on the Proliferation and Differentiation of Normal Human Keratinocytes
Minoxidil affects cell growth in two ways: low doses increase growth, while high doses slow it down and can be toxic.
research Thyroid Hormone Action on Skin
Thyroid hormones are important for skin health and might help treat skin diseases, but more research is needed to understand their effects fully.
research Limitations of Human Occipital Scalp Hair Follicle Organ Culture for Studying the Effects of Minoxidil as a Hair Growth Enhancer
Scalp hair follicle culture has limits for testing minoxidil's hair growth effects.
research Relationship Between Serum Concentrations, Hemodynamic Effects, and Cardiovascular Lesions in Dogs Treated with Minoxidil
Higher minoxidil doses in dogs cause faster heart rate, lower blood pressure, and heart issues.
research Sp6 Downregulation of Follistatin Gene Expression in Ameloblasts
Sp6 promotes tooth development by reducing follistatin levels.
research Review of the Effects of 17α-Estradiol in Humans: A Less Feminizing Estrogen with Neuroprotective Potential
17α-estradiol is a safe estrogen that might protect the brain and doesn't cause feminization, needing more research for treating brain diseases.
research Hormonal Activity in Commonly Used Black Hair Care Products: Evaluating Hormone Disruption as a Plausible Contribution to Health Disparities
