research Effect of finasteride on adrenal steroidogenesis in men.
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.

Scalp hair sweating is a significant predictor of hair cortisol levels.
research Hyposecretion of the adrenal androgen dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) in the majority of the alopecia areata patients: Is it a primitive and pathogenic perturbation of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis?
Low DHEA-S levels might be linked to alopecia areata and could be a potential treatment target.
research Does hair cortisol mediate the effects of sexual and gender minority stress on depression and anxiety? A structural equation modelling approach
Gender-diverse people face more depression and anxiety, partly due to stress and lower cortisol levels.
research Effects of steroid hormones on the expression of Ca2+ activated K+ channels in in vitro pituitary cells of Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua)
Steroid hormones may affect sexual maturation in cod by altering certain KCa channel expressions.
research The role of dexamethasone in mediating the contradictory effects of Wnt antagonists SFRP2 and SFRP3 on human hair follicle growth
Dexamethasone affects hair growth by altering levels of proteins that either promote or inhibit hair follicle growth.
research The associations of hair glucocorticoids with socioeconomic position and type 2 diabetes: Findings from the Maastricht study
Hair glucocorticoids link to type 2 diabetes but not to socioeconomic status.
