research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications*
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research A prospective randomized trial comparing finasteride to spironolactone in the treatment of hirsute women.
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research 5-Alpha reductase deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research The Steroidogenesis Inhibitor Finasteride Reduces the Response to Both Stressful and Rewarding Stimuli
Finasteride reduces response to stress and rewards, affecting behavior and mental health.
research AKR1D1 regulates glucocorticoid availability and glucocorticoid receptor activation in human hepatoma cells
AKR1D1 controls glucocorticoid levels and receptor activity in liver cells.
research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Sulforaphane promotes murine hair growth by accelerating the degradation of dihydrotestosterone
Sulforaphane may help with hair growth by breaking down a hormone that causes hair loss.
research Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia
Minoxidil can help thicken hair in some people with male pattern baldness, especially if used early and continuously.
research Modulating testosterone pathway: a new strategy to tackle male skin aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.
research Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Sulforaphane, L-Menthol, and Dexpanthenol as a Novel Active Cosmetic Ingredient Composition for Relieving Hair Loss Symptoms
A mix of sulforaphane, L-menthol, and dexpanthenol could help increase hair growth and reduce hair loss.
research Alternative Therapies for Vitiligo
Some alternative therapies for vitiligo show promise but need more research.
research Crystal structure of steroid reductase SRD5A reveals conserved steroid reduction mechanism
The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.
research Cloning, computational analysis and expression profiling of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 (SRD5A1) gene during reproductive phases and ovatide stimulation in endangered catfish, Clarias magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research Inhibition of rat α-reductases by finasteride: Evidence for isozyme differences in the mechanism of inhibition
Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research Alopezien – Diagnostisches und therapeutisches Management
Early diagnosis and personalized treatment are crucial for managing different types of alopecia effectively.

Men and women respond differently to drugs for COVID-19, high cholesterol, and diabetes, which suggests a need for personalized treatments.
research Establishing and Verifying a Robust Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method to Simultaneously Measure Seven Androgens Present in Plasma Samples
The method accurately measures seven androgens in plasma and shows different hormone levels in females with acne and obesity.
research New Insights into Testosterone Biosynthesis: Novel Observations from HSD17B3 Deficient Mice
Mice without the enzyme HSD17B3 still produce normal testosterone, suggesting they have different ways to make it compared to humans.
research Hiperandrogenismo causado por tumor de células de Leydig de ovario
