research The Aromatase Inhibitor Fadrozole and the 5-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Affect Gonadal Differentiation and Gene Expression in the Frog Silurana tropicalis
Fadrozole and Finasteride change frog sex ratios and cause intersex animals with altered gene expressions.
research Age‐dependent regulation by androgens of gene expression in the anterior hypothalamus and stress‐induced release of adrenal hormones in adolescent and adult male rats
Testosterone affects stress hormone levels differently in adolescent and adult male rats.
research 202 Activation of breast cancer cell proliferation by ROR-alpha through aromatase promoter
ROR-alpha may increase the growth of certain breast cancer cells by boosting aromatase, which could affect breast cancer prognosis.
research mRNA Levels of Aromatase, 5α-Reductase Isozymes, and Prostate Cancer-Related Genes in Plucked Hair from Young Men with Androgenic Alopecia
Men with early balding showed higher levels of certain genes linked to hair loss and possibly prostate cancer.
research Expression Profiles of Reproduction- and Thyroid Hormone-Related Transcripts in the Brains of Chemically-Induced Intersex Frogs

5 / 308 resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
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.
community DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
community DHT levels after 4 weeks of Fina and 8 weeks of Fina + 4 weeks of Duta
The user reported early stage diffuse hair thinning and increased DHT levels after 4 weeks on Finasteride and 8 weeks on Finasteride plus 4 weeks on Dutasteride, despite the medications being authentic and stored properly. They are considering increasing their Dutasteride dosage due to the lack of side effects and are unsure if the treatment is helping their hair.
community Switch from fin to dut and its worse
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride can worsen hair loss for some men due to increased testosterone levels. Topical treatments like RU58841 and Pyrilutamide are suggested to counteract these effects, but individual responses vary.
