Current Approaches to Support Patients to Withdraw From Image and Performance Enhancing Drugs

Clinical Endocrinology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Image and performance‐enhancing drugs (IPEDs) include agents such as androgens, growth hormone, and erythropoietin, which are used to enhance appearance and physical performance. Androgens, also known as anabolic‐androgenic steroids (AAS), are the most used IPEDs worldwide.

Eruptive Acral Melanocytic Lesions Associated With Capecitabine

Journal of Cutaneous Pathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Eruptive nevi and lentigines have been reported to occur in the setting of immunosuppression, which may be medication‐induced. The associated histopathologic findings have not been well described in the literature. Herein, we report the case of a woman in her 60s who had been receiving chemotherapy treatment with capecitabine, a prodrug of 5 ...

Melanocortin Regulation of Inflammation

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and α-, β-, and γ-melanocyte-stimulating hormones (α-, β-, γ-MSH), collectively known as melanocortins, together with their receptors (melanocortin receptors), are components of an ancient modulatory system.

Ishophloroglucin A Isolated from Ishige okamurae Suppresses Melanogenesis Induced by α-MSH: In Vitro and In Vivo

Marine Drugs, 2020
Diphlorethohydroxycarmalol (DPHC) isolated from Ishige okamurae (IO) showed potential whitening effects against UV-B radiation. However, the components of IO as well as their molecular mechanism against α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) have not ...

Afamelanotide improves quality of life and light tolerance in Austrian erythropoietic protoporphyria patients

JDDG: Journal der Deutschen Dermatologischen Gesellschaft, EarlyView.
Summary Background Erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by severe phototoxic reactions that occur within minutes of light exposure. In clinical studies, afamelanotide has been shown to prolong pain‐free sun exposure, improve quality of life, and reduce the frequency and severity of phototoxic reactions ...

Significance of the Melanocortin 1 and Endothelin B Receptors in Melanocyte Homeostasis and Prevention of Sun-Induced Genotoxicity

Frontiers in Genetics, 2016
The membrane bound melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R), and the endothelin B receptor (ENDBR) are two G-protein coupled receptors that play important roles in constitutive regulation of melanocytes and their response to ultraviolet radiation (UVR), the main ...

Innovations in Obesity Treatment: Beyond Adipose Tissue Dysfunction

Obesity Reviews, EarlyView.
Obesity drives chronic inflammation, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, and cancer development through adipocyte dysfunction. Addressing this multisystemic disorder requires integrated strategies beyond diet and exercise, such as thermogenesis activation via menthol or capsinoids and appetite control through GLP‐1/GIP agonists and neuromodulation to ...

Keratinocytes exposed to ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B radiation induce responses in melanocytes

Photochemistry and Photobiology, EarlyView.
Keratinocyte‐derived soluble factors regulate melanocyte responses following UV exposure. Conditioned medium from irradiated keratinocytes enhances melanocyte mitochondrial activity, cell proliferation, and cell cycle progression while improving survival after UVA‐induced damage.
