JAK inhibitors are effective for hair regrowth in severe alopecia areata.
research Analysis of the finasteride treatment and its withdrawal in the rat hypothalamus and hippocampus at whole-transcriptome level
Finasteride treatment in rats changed the expression of genes related to psychiatric and neurological functions, and these changes persisted after stopping the drug.
research Comment on Current Investigations into the Postfinasteride Syndrome
Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth, but some believe it may cause persistent symptoms due to psychological factors.
research Anticonvulsant Activity of Progesterone and Neurosteroids in Progesterone Receptor Knockout Mice
Progesterone's seizure-reducing effects are mainly due to allopregnanolone, not progesterone receptors.
research The gut‐microbiota‐brain axis: Focus on gut steroids
Gut bacteria affect steroid levels, influencing health conditions and potential treatments.
research New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
research Gut Inflammation Induced by Finasteride Withdrawal: Therapeutic Effect of Allopregnanolone in Adult Male Rats

research Finasteride delays atherosclerosis progression in mice and is associated with a reduction in plasma cholesterol in men
Finasteride may lower cholesterol and slow heart disease progression.
research POST-FINASTERIDE SYNDROME AND POST-SSRI SEXUAL DYSFUNCTION: TWO CLINICAL CONDITIONS APPARENTLY DISTANT, BUT VERY CLOSE
Some people experience lasting sexual, psychological, and sleep problems after using finasteride or SSRI antidepressants, possibly due to similar underlying causes.
research The Off-Label Use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for Sexual Behavior Management: Risks and Considerations
SSRIs may help manage sexual behavior in dementia patients, but they can cause long-lasting sexual dysfunction.
