A boy's hair loss and bone issues improved with specific vitamin D treatment and calcium.

A child with a rare type of rickets showed some improvement with high doses of vitamin D, but such conditions often respond poorly to treatment.

The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.

The equine epididymis mainly uses type 1 5α-reductase, and both finasteride and dutasteride can inhibit its activity.
