research Genetic screening of non-classic CAH females with hyperandrogenemia identifies a novel CYP11B1 gene mutation
A new mutation in the CYP11B1 gene was found in a woman with mild hyperandrogenemia, a rare cause of non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Clinical and hormonal effects of the 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor finasteride in idiopathic hirsutism
research A case report of a novel homozygote mutation causing severe Leydig cell hypoplasia: insights in the coexistence of nonsense mutation and polymorphism in the same LHCGR gene locus
A new genetic mutation causes severe Leydig cell hypoplasia, affecting sexual development.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Null Mutation of 5α-Reductase Type I Gene Alters Ethanol Consumption Patterns in a Sex-Dependent Manner
research 15-Hydroxyprostaglandin Dehydrogenase Inhibitor Restores Endothelial Function Under Dihydrotestosterone-Induced Stress in Human Dermal Microvascular Endothelial Cells
DPP may help hair regrowth by improving blood vessel function under stress.
research Muscle pain in a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency resolved with testosterone therapy. A case report with 10 years of follow-up
Testosterone therapy improved symptoms in a woman with congenital adrenal hyperplasia.
research Androstanediolglucuronide: A parameter for peripheral androgen activity before and during therapy with cyproterone acetate
3α-AdiolG is a good marker for androgen activity in women with excessive hair growth and decreases with anti-androgen treatment.
research Chemical Mechanism of the Covalent Modification of 5.alpha.-Reductases by Finasteride as Probed by Secondary Tritium Isotope Effects
Finasteride modifies 5-alpha-reductases through a two-step process, affecting inhibitor potency and possibly causing side effects.
research Systematic analyses of murine masculinization processes based on genital sex differentiation parameters
DHT is crucial for urethral formation, and its disruption can affect masculinization and lead to hypospadias.
research Dihydrotestosteron und die Rolle der 5α-Reduktasehemmer bei der benignen Prostatahyperplasie
A stronger dual 5α-reductase inhibitor could improve treatment for benign prostatic hyperplasia by further reducing DHT levels.
research Two siblings with a novel nonsense mutation, p.R50X, in the vitamin D receptor gene
A new gene mutation causes vitamin D-resistant rickets and hair loss in two siblings.
research Effect of Leuprolide and Dexamethasone on Hair Growth and Hormone Levels in Hirsute Women: The Relative Importance of the Ovary and the Adrenal in the Pathogenesis of Hirsutism*
The ovary mainly causes high testosterone in PCO, while the adrenal gland is the main source in IH.
research Metabolic dysfunction in female mice with disruption of 5α-reductase 1
Female mice with disrupted 5α-reductase 1 had significant metabolic issues, including stress response problems, insulin resistance, liver fat buildup, and obesity.
research Mice lacking the epidermal retinol dehydrogenases SDR16C5 and SDR16C6 display accelerated hair growth and enlarged meibomian glands
Mice without certain skin enzymes have faster hair growth and bigger eye glands.
research The Biological Actions of Dehydroepiandrosterone Involves Multiple Receptors
DHEA affects multiple receptors and may help with metabolic issues, but its safety and effectiveness in humans are unclear.

Late diagnosis of congenital adrenal hyperplasia can greatly affect physical development, gender identity, and sexual health.
research Invalidation of a commercially available human 5α-dihydrotestosterone immunoassay
The DHT immunoassay is unreliable due to high cross-reactivity with testosterone.
