Research
240-270 / 1000+ results research Anabolic effects of testosterone are preserved during inhibition of 5α-reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
research Anti-androgenic activities of the triterpenoids fraction of Ganoderma lucidum
The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.
research 5 Alpha - Reductase and Metabolic Syndrome in PCOS Patients
A higher testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio in PCOS patients may indicate worse metabolic health.
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.

Eclipta alba extract could be a promising natural treatment for hair loss.
research 12-Methoxy Carnosic acid efficacy determinationand optimization through computational tools for 5alpha reductase enzyme and using finasteride as refrence molecule.
12-Methoxy carnosic acid from rosemary might be a good natural treatment for hair loss.
research Purple corn extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia by inhibiting 5 alpha-reductase type 2 and inflammation in testosterone propionate-induced rats
Purple corn extract may help reduce prostate enlargement and inflammation.
research New 5?-reductase inhibitors: In vitro and in vivo effects
Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.
research A new label-free screen for steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
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 The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride is not associated with alterations in sleep spindles in men referred for polysomnography
Finasteride doesn't affect sleep spindles in men.

Beetroot extract may help treat hair loss naturally with fewer side effects.
research Characterization of response of murine hair follicle-derived keratinocyte against androgen and testosterone 5α-redactase activity
Mouse hair cells respond to male hormones by growing less, and this can be stopped by certain blockers.
research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia treatment options
Combination therapy, especially with finasteride, is effective for treating frontal fibrosing alopecia.
