This study reported that bimatoprost significantly increased hair growth in rat vibrissa follicles by enhancing dermal papilla cell proliferation and upregulating cell cycle proteins like CDK2, Cyclin E, and β-catenin.

This study found that PGF2alpha analogues and PGE2 stimulated hair follicle activity in mice, with PGF2alpha analogues also linked to potential side effects like poliosis when used as eye treatments.

This article reviews the contraceptive agent Depo-Provera, discussing its effectiveness, potential side effects, and safety concerns, but reports no new clinical results.

This article reviews non-biodegradable progestational subdermal implants as long-acting contraceptives for women, discussing their effectiveness, associated side effects, and implementation challenges without reporting new clinical results.

This paper is a quiz on contraceptive knowledge and reports no new research findings.

This source highlights the role of progestin in contraception, noting that while different types have varying progesteronic potential and effects, they share similar contraceptive mechanisms, allowing tailored use based on patient conditions.

Medroxyprogesterone acetate improved sleep apnea symptoms in some obese patients.

This study reports that five new progesterone derivatives demonstrated inhibitory activity against the 5α-reductase enzyme and binding affinity for the androgen receptor in an in vitro hamster model.

This study found that two new progesterone derivatives showed higher antiandrogenic effects and 5α-reductase inhibition than finasteride in hamsters, particularly reducing seminal vesicle weight and flank organ size.

This study found that Anovlar effectively reduced pain in severe dysmenorrhea cases and regulated cycles in oligomenorrhea patients, but some side effects and occasional treatment failures were reported.

This review discusses the pharmacological properties of progestins used in contraception and hormone replacement therapy, focusing on drospirenone's unique effects, but reports no new experimental findings.

This study found that the anticonvulsant effects of progesterone against PTZ-induced seizures in mice require conversion to allopregnanolone, as shown by the reversal of these effects with a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor.

In this study, researchers reported that both progestin-only injectable contraceptives, DMPA-IM and NET-EN, significantly decreased serum testosterone and SHBG levels among HIV-negative women in South Africa, yet this did not explain prior findings of no reduction in risky sexual behavior or sexual function.

This study found that A-ring reduced derivatives of norethisterone and levonorgestrel exhibit estrogen-like potency in rat osteoblasts, suggesting a mechanism for 19-norprogestins' bone restoration effects in postmenopausal women.

This study indicates that progesterone’s anesthetic activity in PR knockout mice is not due to progesterone receptors but is partially mediated by the neurosteroid allopregnanolone through GABAA receptor potentiation.

In this study, Neogynon was found to be 100% effective as a contraceptive, with no observed failures in 3129 cycles among 184 women, while side effects included changes in endometrial patterns and some central nervous system effects.

This study reported that newly synthesized progesterone derivatives significantly reduced prostate weight in testosterone-treated hamsters, with 5alpha-reductase inhibitory activity dependent on the size of the substituent at C-17.

This study found that the combination therapy of Flosin and Prostamol Uno over nine years was well tolerated and equally effective in managing benign prostatic hyperplasia symptoms as the combination of doxazosin and finasteride, with fewer adverse events reported.

This study suggests that 5alpha-dihydroprogesterone could be an effective, non-sedative anticonvulsant for drug-resistant complex partial seizures, as observed in a rat model.

This review discusses the diverse pharmacological activities of misoprostol across multiple health conditions but reports no new clinical data, highlighting potential applications beyond its traditional uses.

This study found that progesterone can inhibit spinal reflex potentiation in ovariectomized rats through GABA(A) receptor activity, mediated by neurosteroid metabolism rather than direct progesterone receptor action.

This study found that prostaglandin metabolism enzymes are present in human hair follicles, suggesting a potential role in hair growth and differentiation, with some expression differences between men and women.

This study found that bimatoprost stimulated hair growth in both human scalp follicle cultures and mouse pelage in vivo, suggesting it might offer a promising treatment for scalp alopecias.

This article reviews emerging treatments for androgenetic alopecia, including topical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and prostaglandin modulators, but reports no clinical results and calls for further efficacy evidence, especially for PRP.

This article reviews mechanisms by which herbal ingredients may stimulate or inhibit hair growth, and it reports no new clinical findings while suggesting potential for developing hair loss treatments.

This article reviews the pharmacology of bimatoprost and prostamide F2α, highlighting bimatoprost's therapeutic applications in glaucoma, hair growth, and potential fat reduction, without reporting new experimental results.

This article reviews the side effects of topical latanoprost therapy, particularly the hypertrichosis and pigmentation changes of eyelashes and nearby skin, and reports no new clinical results.

This review discusses adverse effects of cosmetic products and procedures on the ocular surface, including mild discomfort to severe vision-threatening conditions, and reports no new clinical results.

This source reports that bimatoprost, a medication approved for eyelash growth, has shown efficacy in treating eyebrow hypotrichosis, suggesting it as a noninvasive, effective, and well-tolerated option for enhancing eyebrow hair.
