research Anti-androgenetic effect of diphlorethohydroxycarmalol on testosterone-induced hair loss by inhibiting 5α-reductase and promoting Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in human dermal papilla cells

1 citations , February 2025 in “Toxicology in Vitro”

In this study, DPHC from the brown alga Ishige okamurae demonstrated potential to prevent androgenic alopecia by inhibiting hair loss and promoting hair growth through multiple cellular mechanisms.

research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes

9 citations , September 2017 in “Journal of Investigative Dermatology Symposium Proceedings”

In this study, PGD2 was shown to increase testosterone production in human keratinocytes through reactive oxygen species, suggesting potential benefits of antioxidants like N-acetyl-cysteine for AGA patients.

Dysregulation of Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Signaling Pathway by Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone in Female Sprague Dawley Rats During Development of Endometrial Receptivity

research Dysregulation of Leukaemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF) Signalling Pathway by Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone in Female Sprague Dawley Rats During Development of Endometrial Receptivity

January 2025 in “Biomedicines”

In this study, female rats given high doses of testosterone showed decreased endometrial thickness and lower mRNA levels of components in the LIF signalling pathway, indicating that excessive testosterone may negatively impact endometrial receptivity and potentially affect fertility.

Comprehensive Transcriptome Data to Identify Downstream Genes of Testosterone Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells

research Comprehensive transcriptome data to identify downstream genes of testosterone signalling in dermal papilla cells

November 2022 in “Scientific Data”

This study identified downstream genes regulated by androgen receptor signaling in dermal papilla cells and suggests potential molecular targets for treating androgenetic alopecia and prostate cancer.

Protective Role of Agomelatine via Modulation of TLR4/NF-κB: NLRP3/IL-1β Signaling Pathways in Testosterone-Induced Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia in Rats

research Protective role of agomelatine via modulation of TLR4/NF-κB: NLRP3/IL-1β signaling pathways in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats

December 2025 in “Naunyn-Schmiedeberg s Archives of Pharmacology”

In this animal study, AGO (agomelatine) effectively alleviated testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats by reducing oxidative stress and inflammation, indicating its potential as a therapeutic option for managing BPH through specific signaling pathways.

community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

82 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.

community Scalp testosterone does NOT cause hair loss, what is this baseless claim ?

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 5 months ago

DHT, not testosterone, causes hair loss. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, and RU58841 target DHT to manage hair loss.

community New angles to attack beyond DHT

4 upvotes 2 years ago

Exploring hair loss treatments beyond DHT, including Minoxidil, pyruvate, Gt20029 targeting androgen receptors, and vasodilators. Other options like Kx826, adenosine signaling, growth factor topicals, and microneedling are also discussed.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 29 upvotes 2 years ago

Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.

community Everything you ever wanted to know about Pelage Pharma's PP405: how it works and what to expect

126 upvotes 3 months ago

PP405 may encourage earlier hair growth and slightly increase visible hair count but does not reverse hair follicle miniaturization in male pattern baldness. It does not address damage to the dermal papilla or broken Wnt signaling.

Could bicalutamide help trans women regrow hair lost to testosterone? No study has tested bicalutamide for hair regrowth in trans women. In cisgender women the only randomized trial found it added nothing to minoxidil, and it is an off-label prescription drug that requires liver monitoring.
