research Investigation of the Plausibility of 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Syndrome
The document concludes that sexual and psychiatric side effects from 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors are reported, but more high-quality research is needed to understand how often they occur.
research A 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride, increases differentiation and proliferation of embryonal carcinoma cell-derived-neural cells
research Dutasteride, a novel dual 5-A reductase inhibitor, reduces serum DHT to a greater extent versus finasteride and achieves finasteride maximal reduction in a larger proportion of patients
Dutasteride reduces DHT more effectively than finasteride.
research Finasteride, A Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Does Not Affect the Oxidative Metabolism of Antipyrine
Finasteride doesn't affect antipyrine metabolism, so interactions with cytochrome P-450 enzyme drugs are unlikely.

Testosterone increases muscle mass regardless of DHT conversion blocking.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces opioid self-administration
Finasteride may help reduce opioid use.
research A quantitative hair growth assessment in female androgenetic alopecia during one year, and its modulation by a topical 5?-reductase inhibitor
Topical 5α-reductase inhibitor helps counteract hair loss and stabilize it.
research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition with Dutasteride and Finasteride on Semen Parameters and Serum Hormones in Healthy Men
Dutasteride and finasteride may reduce sperm count and volume but don't affect movement or shape; effects are reversible after stopping.
research Comparison of finasteride (proscar®), a 5α reductase inhibitor, and various commercial plant extracts in in vitro and in vivo 5α reductase inhibition
Finasteride effectively inhibits 5α reductase, while plant extracts like Permixon and Bazoton don't show significant results.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research Inhibition of 5α-reductase alters pregnane metabolism in the late pregnant mare
Inhibiting 5α-reductase increases progesterone levels in late pregnant mares.
research Metabolic effects of 5α-reductase inhibition in humans
Dutasteride may reduce insulin sensitivity and increase body fat.
research Effects of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride on Serum Levels of Gonadal, Adrenal, and Hypophyseal Hormones and its Clinical Significance: A Prospective Clinical Study
Finasteride reduces hair loss and treats BPH without major hormone changes, but may cause sexual dysfunction.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research Effect of the 5α-reductase enzyme inhibitor dutasteride in the brain of intact and parkinsonian mice
Dutasteride may protect the brain in early Parkinson's disease.
research Comparison of Clinical Efficacy of Finasteride and Dutasteride as 5-alpha Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride is more effective than Finasteride in reducing prostate size and PSA levels, but both drugs have similar side effects.
research Structural basis for the catalysis and inhibition of human steroid 5α‐reductase 2
The research gives new understanding on how human steroid 5α-reductases work and how drugs like finasteride inhibit them, which could help in creating new drugs.
research Dual effects of 5α-reductase inhibitor dutasteride on androgenetic alopecia and acne vulgaris
Dutasteride improved both hair loss and acne in two young men.
research Effects of Solvent System and Storage Condition on Chemical Stability of 5(alpha)-Reductase Inhibitor Compounds in Tectona grandis L.f. Leaf Extracts
