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 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 Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, improves urinary flow, but may cause sexual side effects.
research Effects of Flutamide, a pure antiandrogen, on endocrine parameters, in the adult female rat
Flutamide, an antiandrogen, has minimal impact on female rat endocrine systems and does not significantly change their reproductive cycles.

research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Androgen binding profiles of two distinct nuclear androgen receptors in Atlantic croaker (Micropogonias undulatus)
Different types of androgens bind differently to two receptors, AR1 and AR2, in Atlantic croaker's brain and ovarian tissues, suggesting these receptors may control different androgen actions in fish.
research Development and validation of a reversed-phase HPLC method for simultaneous determination of doxazosin mesylate and finasteride
Created method to measure doxazosin mesylate and finasteride together.
research Maternal androgen excess induces cardiac hypertrophy and left ventricular dysfunction in female mice offspring

research Post-finasteride syndrome and post-SSRI sexual dysfunction: two sides of the same coin?
PFS and PSSD are similar conditions with persistent sexual dysfunction after stopping medication.
research 3α-androstanediol, but not testosterone, attenuates age-related decrements in cognitive, anxiety, and depressive behavior of male rats
3α-androstanediol helps reduce age-related cognitive and mood declines in male rats, unlike testosterone.
research Effects of non-contingent cocaine on 3alpha-androstanediol. I. Disruption of male sexual behavior
Cocaine impairs male sexual behavior and alters testosterone metabolism in the brain.
research Safety concerns regarding 5α reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Cyclic dynamics of hair follicles and the effect of minoxidil on the bald scalps of stumptailed macaques
Minoxidil helps grow longer, thicker hair in bald scalps of stumptailed macaques, and early treatment is more effective.
research Doping-Control Analysis of the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Determination of Its Influence on Urinary Steroid Profiles and Detection of Its Major Urinary Metabolite
Finasteride affects urinary steroid profiles and can potentially hide steroid abuse in sports drug testing.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Overview
