research Evaluation of a novel dry eye model induced by oral administration of finasteride
Finasteride causes reduced tear flow and severe eye inflammation.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
