research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel androst-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research Upregulation of mir-1199-5p is associated with reduced type 2 5-α reductase expression in benign prostatic hyperplasia
Higher levels of miR-1199-5p may reduce the effectiveness of certain prostate treatments.
research 102 Methylation of CpG islands in promoter of type 2 5-α reductase and implications of finasteride resistance for BPH therapy
Methylation in specific gene region causes finasteride resistance in some BPH patients.
research 1424 METHYLATION AND DECREASED EXPRESSION OF 5-ALPHA REDUCTASE 2 IN HUMAN PROSATE SAMPLES: IMPLICATIONS FOR RESISTANCE TO THERAPY FOR BPH
Methylation of the 5-AR2 gene may cause resistance to Finasteride in BPH patients.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity 5ar alpha reductase stimulation is different depending on whether it’s type 1 or 2
The conversation discusses how different factors can stimulate type 1 and type 2 isoforms of 5-alpha reductase, which are enzymes linked to hair loss. Specific treatments mentioned include oral Dutasteride and topical Finasteride.
community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?
Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
community Dutasteride might be better for your hairline. Some people have more type 1 5AR activity in their scalp than others.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
community 5ar Type I in the frontal hair follicles - Dutasteride
The conversation discusses that dutasteride may be more effective than finasteride for frontal hair loss due to higher 5ar Type 1 enzyme activity in that area. Some users question the validity of this information, while others confirm it with additional sources.
community ghk-cu is potent 5-ar inhibitor?
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
