A new compound effectively inhibits human 5α-reductase 1.
research Other Antiandrogens
Spironolactone works well for acne and hirsutism, isotretinoin is very effective for acne and may have antiandrogenic effects, and 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors should be considered antiandrogens.
research Modulating testosterone pathway: a new strategy to tackle male skin aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.

Maxillariinae orchids contain 62 compounds with potential health benefits, including treating skin conditions and diseases like cancer and diabetes.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Repairing the lungs one breath at a time: How dedicated or facultative are you?
Lung repair involves both dedicated and flexible stem cells, important for developing new treatments.
research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin
The study found that the enzyme linked to acne is present in the same areas of both acne-affected and normal skin.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene
The human type II 5α-reductase gene has a specific structure important for understanding certain medical conditions.
research Pathomechanism of androgenetic alopecia and new treatment
Male hormones can cause hair loss, but treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride can help, and targeting TGF-B1 could be a future solution.
research Cutaneous Manifestations in Autoimmune Polyendocrinopathy-Candidiasis-Ectodermal Dystrophy (APECED): A Comprehensive Review
The review shows that skin symptoms like chronic fungal infections, hair loss, and skin depigmentation are key for early detection and management of APECED.
research mRNA Levels of Aromatase, 5α-Reductase Isozymes, and Prostate Cancer-Related Genes in Plucked Hair from Young Men with Androgenic Alopecia
Men with early balding showed higher levels of certain genes linked to hair loss and possibly prostate cancer.
research Slow progress in prostate cancer
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors; new drugs and better diagnosis are in development, but funding and industry commitment are challenges.
research Effect of Ficus carica leaf extract on the gene expression of selected factors in HaCaT cells
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat skin disorders by reducing inflammation and androgen effects in skin cells.
research Recent European legal developments on second medical uses and dosage regimes
European patent law now allows patents for new uses and dosages of known drugs, but protection scope is unclear.
research Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
research Effects of pre- and post-pubertal dihydrotestosterone treatment on penile length in 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency
Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research The Circular RNA CircCOL1A1 Functions as a miR-149-5p Sponge to Regulate the Formation of Superior-Quality Brush Hair via the CMTM3/AR Axis
A specific RNA molecule, circCOL1A1, affects the growth and quality of goat hair by interacting with miR-149-5p and influencing cell growth pathways.
research Hyperandrogenism and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Women with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
Women with type 1 diabetes often have polycystic ovary syndrome and excess male hormones, which are frequently undiagnosed.
research Characterization of a 190-Kilobase Pair Domain of Human Type I Hair Keratin Genes
The 190-kbp domain contains all human type I hair keratin genes, showing their organization and evolution.
research Insulin Promotes Corneal Nerve Repair and Wound Healing in Type 1 Diabetic Mice by Enhancing Wnt/β-Catenin Signaling
Insulin helps heal corneal wounds and nerves in diabetic mice by activating the Wnt signaling pathway.
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 Clinical Conditions Targeted by OnabotulinumtoxinA in Different Ways in Medicine
OnabotulinumtoxinA is used to treat wrinkles, pain, sweating, hair loss, and more by temporarily paralyzing muscles and affecting pain pathways.
