research Hairless or fertile? Finasteride leads to epididymal changes and infertility in rats
Finasteride may cause infertility in rats by affecting epididymis and sperm function.
research Immunolocalization of androgen receptor in the epididymis of rats with dihydrotestosterone deficiency.
Finasteride changes androgen receptor location in rat epididymis without altering tissue structure.
research Expression of E-SOD, GPX5 mRNAs and immunoexpression of Cu/ZnSOD in epididymal epithelial cells of finasteride-treated rats
Finasteride changes antioxidant enzyme expression, possibly affecting sperm protection in rats.
research Comparative effects of finasteride and minoxidil on the male reproductive organs: A systematic review of in vitro and in vivo evidence
Finasteride is more harmful to male reproductive health than minoxidil.
research Antioxidant enzyme expression of mRNA and protein in the epididymis of finasteride-treated male rat offspring during postnatal development
Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.

5 / 6 resultscommunity DHT Isn't (Directly) Important
Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
community Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
