research Glioblastoma cells express crucial enzymes involved in androgen synthesis: 3β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, 17‐20α‐hydroxylase, 17β‐hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and 5α‐reductase
Glioblastoma cells can make androgens, which might help the tumor grow.
research The diagnosis of nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency, based on serum basal or post-ACTH stimulation 17-hydroxyprogesterone, can lead to false-positive diagnosis
Using 17-hydroxyprogesterone levels to diagnose nonclassic congenital adrenal hyperplasia can result in many incorrect diagnoses.
research Steroid 17-Hydroxyprogesterone in Hair Is a Potential Long-Term Biomarker of Androgen Control in Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia due to 21-Hydroxylase Deficiency
Measuring 17-hydroxyprogesterone in hair can help monitor androgen levels in people with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Inhibition of 17α-hydroxylase/C17,20 lyase reduces gating deficits consequent to dopaminergic activation
Blocking CYP17A1 enzyme may help improve certain brain function issues related to dopamine.
research Search for New antineoplastic agents based on structural modifications of steroidal 5α-reductase, 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase, and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase inhibitors
Modifying steroidal inhibitors shows promise for developing new cancer treatments.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Minoxidil inhibits lysyl hydroxylase which is needed to produce collagen. If I take 2,5...5 mg of minoxidil every day can I cause my skin to age prematurely?
Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss and unlikely to significantly affect collagen synthesis, making it a safe option without causing premature skin aging. Users report positive hair regrowth without noticeable skin aging.
community Personal results (1mg finasteride + 10.000mcg biotine) after almost 3 years. Not as impressive as some here, but maybe provides a more realistic view.
Jericho1017 shared their hair regrowth results after nearly 3 years using 1mg finasteride and 10,000mcg biotin daily, with noticeable improvement after 1.5 years and no significant side effects except for watery semen. Some users suggested adding minoxidil and microneedling to improve results, but Jericho1017 is currently content with their progress and not looking to add more treatments.
community Thoughts about ORAL ketoconazole? (pills)
Oral ketoconazole is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment, but it poses significant health risks like liver damage and adrenal insufficiency. Users suggest safer alternatives like topical anti-androgens or spironolactone, emphasizing the importance of consulting a specialist.
community 137 years old and still far more hair than the average r/tressless user
The post and conversation are about a user claiming to be 137 years old with a full head of hair. Specific treatments mentioned include dutasteride, RU58841, and minoxidil.
community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
