research New Steps Forward in the Neuroactive Steroid Field
Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.
research Dietary Isoflavone Increases Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production, Thereby Promoting Hair Growth in Mice
Eating isoflavone can help mice grow hair by increasing a growth factor.
research Key Targets of Hormonal Treatment of Prostate Cancer: The Androgen Receptor and 5α-Reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Vertex Balding, Plasma Insulin-Like Growth Factor 1, and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.
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 Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Examination of Fluconazole-Induced Alopecia in an Animal Model and Human Cohort
Fluconazole can cause hair loss, but the exact cause is unknown.
research Topical Sodium Valproate-Loaded Nanospanlastics Versus Conventional Topical Steroid Therapy in Alopecia Areata: A Randomized Controlled Study
Both treatments for alopecia areata showed similar modest effectiveness.
research Platelet-Rich Plasma Contains High Concentrations of DKK1, A Potent Inhibitor of Wnt Signaling That Limits Bone Regeneration and Hair Growth
Platelet-rich plasma may not be very effective for bone healing and hair growth due to a substance it contains that blocks these processes.
research Development of PEGylated Liposomes
PEGylated liposomal doxorubicin improves cancer treatment effectiveness and reduces side effects like heart damage and hair loss.
research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inhibiting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production in Dermal Papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Topical Application of the Wnt/β-Catenin Activator Methyl Vanillate Increases Hair Count and Hair Mass Index in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Methyl vanillate spray increases hair count and hair mass in women with hair loss.
research Pro-Insulin-Like Growth Factor-II Ameliorates Age-Related Inefficient Regenerative Response by Orchestrating Self-Reinforcement Mechanism of Muscle Regeneration
Pro-IGF-II improves muscle repair in old mice.
research The Biodisposition and Hypertrichotic Effects of Bimatoprost in Mouse Skin
Bimatoprost increases hair growth in mice without breaking down into other substances.
research Miliacin Encapsulated by Polar Lipids Stimulates Cell Proliferation in Hair Bulb and Improves Telogen Effluvium in Women
Miliacin with polar lipids helps hair growth and improves hair loss in women.
research Future Directions in the Treatment of Vitiligo
New treatments for vitiligo may focus on protecting melanocyte stem cells from stress and targeting specific pathways involved in the condition.
research Iron Deficiency Anemia Pruritus: A Review with Proposed Mechanisms of Action
Iron deficiency anemia can cause itching, which often improves with iron supplements.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Histological and Gene Expression Analysis of the Effects of Menopause Status and Hormone Therapy on the Vaginal Introitus and Labia Majora
Menopause causes significant changes in the vaginal introitus, but less so in the labia majora, which may lead to symptoms of vaginal atrophy.
research Melanocytes in Regenerative Medicine Applications and Disease Modeling
Melanocytes are important for normal body functions and have potential uses in regenerative medicine and disease treatment.
research Long-Term Differential Changes in Mouse Intestinal Metabolomics After Gamma and Heavy Ion Radiation Exposure
Heavy ion radiation has a more severe and long-lasting effect on mouse intestinal metabolites than gamma radiation.
