research Central Hair Loss in African American Women: Incidence and Potential Risk Factors
Some African American women's central scalp hair loss is linked to genetics and past fungal scalp infections, with more research needed on other causes.
research Mechanism of Action of Avicennia Marina Heartwood Extract and Avicequinone C on Human Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated from Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research Discoid Lupus Erythematosus: Comprehensive Overview and Management
Discoid Lupus Erythematosus often causes scarring hair loss, is influenced by genetics and environment, and requires early treatment to prevent worsening.
research Dutasteride, A Novel Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor, Reduces Serum DHT to a Greater Extent Versus Finasteride and Achieves Maximal Reduction in a Larger Proportion of Patients
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively than finasteride.
research Comparative Study of Efficacy of Excimer Light Therapy vs. Intralesional Triamcinolone vs. Topical 5% Minoxidil for Alopecia Areata: An Observational Study
Intralesional triamcinolone is the most effective treatment for alopecia areata, followed by excimer light therapy, and then topical minoxidil. The scalp responds better to treatment than the beard area.
research Identification of 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in Canine Skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Development and Evaluation of Antisense shRNA-Encoding Plasmid Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Against 5-Alpha Reductase Activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido, Erectile Dysfunction, and Depression in a Subset of Patients
