The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Equine 5α-reductase activity and expression in epididymis
The equine epididymis mainly uses type 1 5α-reductase, and both finasteride and dutasteride can inhibit its activity.
research Ligand Based 3D-QSAR Study on a Series of Steroidal Human 5α-Reductase Inhibitors

research Crystal structure of Steroid 5-alpha-reductase 2 in complex with Finasteride
research Serum C-19 steroid sulphates in females with clinical hyperandrogenism
Women with hyperandrogenism have higher androgen levels and lower SHBG, which may contribute to conditions like excessive hair growth and early puberty.
research Curcumin derivatives inhibit testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
