research Exploring rat corpus cavernosum alterations induced by finasteride treatment and withdrawal
Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.
research Saw palmetto extract: A dermatologist's perspective
Saw palmetto extract may help with hair loss and acne but needs more research on safety and long-term effects.
research Early androgen activity after birth determines the hypothalamic expression of androgen and estrogen receptors in adulthood in female but not in male rats
Early androgen exposure affects hormone receptor expression in adult female rats' brains, but not in males.
research Effect of the multifunctional cosmetic ingredient sphinganine on hair loss in men and women with diffuse hair reduction
Sphinganine can reduce hair loss and improve scalp health.
research 5α-Reductases In Human Physiology: an Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Drugs Affecting Hair Growth
Different hair growth phases affect how follicles respond to X-rays, and hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in baldness; transplanted hair can grow on bald scalp areas.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Pharmacokinetics of a transdermal testosterone cream in healthy postmenopausal women
A 5 mg dose of transdermal testosterone cream effectively restores testosterone levels in postmenopausal women.
research Testosterone-stimulated weanlings as an alternative to castrated male rats in the Hershberger anti-androgen assay
Using testosterone-stimulated weanling rats can effectively replace castrated rats for anti-androgen testing, reducing animal stress.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research In-vivo uptake and metabolism of testosterone by the skin and other tissues of the rat
Rat skin takes up and processes testosterone differently than other organs, with testosterone being more important for the skin than its metabolite 5α-DHT.
research Genetics and Pathophysiology of Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
The document concludes that patient outcomes for Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia are often not ideal because of poor management and a need for better diagnosis and treatment methods.
research 5α-reductase inhibition and hair growth promotion of some Thai plants traditionally used for hair treatment
Some Thai plants, especially Carthamus tinctorius, could help prevent hair loss and promote hair growth without adverse effects.
research Expression and function of nuclear receptor co-activator 4: evidence of a potential role independent of co-activator activity
NcoA4 may have roles beyond helping control gene activity, possibly affecting cell behavior and stability.
research Update: The Pathogenesis and Treatment of PCOS
New treatments for PCOS focus on managing symptoms and improving fertility.
research Allopregnanolone is required for prepulse inhibition deficits induced by D1 dopamine receptor activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Androgenetic alopecia; drug safety and therapeutic strategies
Personalized treatment with inhibitors, minoxidil, and laser therapy helps hair loss.
research Post-finasteride syndrome
Finasteride may cause lasting sexual, mental, and physical symptoms; use with caution.
research Effect of finasteride particle size reduction on its pharmacokinetic, tissue distribution and cellular permeation.
Smaller finasteride particles increase effectiveness in treating hair loss.
research ς1Receptor-Related Neuroactive Steroids Modulate Cocaine-Induced Reward
Neuroactive steroids affect cocaine's rewarding effects through the ς1 receptor.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
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 The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research Effect of finasteride on the ovulatory function of normal women
Finasteride doesn't affect ovulation in normal women.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Additive in vivo growth-inhibitory effects of flutamide and finasteride on androgen-sensitive Shionogi 115 carcinoma
Combining flutamide and finasteride can reduce prostate weight and tumor growth, potentially benefiting treatments needing optimal DHT inhibition.
research Effects of chronic inhibition of Testosterone metabolism on cardiac remodeling after ischemia/reperfusion-induced myocardial damage in gonadectomized rats
Testosterone reduces heart damage and inflammation after injury.
