210-240 / 1000+ resultsresearch Inhibition of 5α-reductase in the rat prostate by Cimicifuga racemosa
Cimicifuga racemosa extract may help prevent and treat prostate issues by inhibiting 5α-reductase.
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Intracrine and Myotrophic Roles of 5α-Reductase and Androgens
Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.
research Greater conversion of testosterone to 5α-dihydrotestosterone, reflecting increased peripheral 5α-reductase activity in nude mice treated with high doses of cyclosporine A
High doses of cyclosporine A increase testosterone conversion, possibly boosting hair growth.
research PNU 157706, a novel dual type I and II5α-reductase inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Simultaneous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgens by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The method effectively measures drug impact on DHT levels in prostate treatments.

Modifying steroidal inhibitors shows promise for developing new cancer treatments.
research Evaluation of Therapeutic Potential of a Selective 5α-reductase Inhibitor against Glioblastoma: Molecular Docking and In Vitro Insights
research Synthesis, antiproliferative activity, acute toxicity and assessment of the antiandrogenic activities of new androstane derivatives
research Steroids excreted by human skin. I. C19-steroids in axillary hair.
Human skin releases different steroids, with some coming from sebaceous glands and others from sweat glands.
research Clinical biochemistry of dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
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.
