research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Hair loss and herbs for treatment
Herbs can potentially treat hair loss by inhibiting a key enzyme and promoting hair growth, and deficiencies in zinc, biotin, and iron are linked to hair loss.
research Finasteride inhibits the disease-modifying activity of progesterone in the hippocampus kindling model of epileptogenesis
Finasteride worsens seizures in epilepsy rats and speeds up epileptogenesis in mice.
research Herbal Extracts Induce Dermal Papilla Cell Proliferation of Human Hair Follicles
Herbal extracts may help hair grow and could be an alternative to synthetic hair loss treatments.
research Crystal structure of steroid reductase SRD5A reveals conserved steroid reduction mechanism
The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.
research Síndrome postfinasterida y disfunción eréctil. Caso clínico y revisión de la literatura
Post-finasteride syndrome can cause sexual and systemic side effects, and patients should be informed about these risks.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.

Finasteride microspheres help reduce hair loss for up to eight weeks with fewer side effects.
research Expression of type 1 5α-reductase and metabolism of testosterone in reconstructed human epidermis (SkinEthic®): a new model for screening skin-targeted androgen modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research 5α-Reductase underscores the development of pectoral fin breeding tubercles in zebrafish
The development of breeding tubercles in male zebrafish relies on a specific enzyme that processes hormones.
research The Experimental Study on the Effect of Herbal Exrtacts on Hair Growth and Acnes
Rubus coreanum may help hair growth but not through the tested mechanisms, and none of the herbal extracts help with acne.
research Saw palmetto and finasteride in the treatment of category-iii prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome
Saw palmetto helps with nighttime urination and urine flow, similar to finasteride.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Relationships between cerebrospinal fluid GABAergic neurosteroid levels and symptom severity in men with PTSD
Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research Natural Product-Inspired Bis(trifluoromethyl) Phenyl Hydroxycinnamate Derivatives as Promising Nonsteroidal Inhibitors of Human Steroid 5α-Reductase Type-1: Synthesis, In Vitro, and In Silico Studies
New compounds show promise as nonsteroidal treatments for hair loss.
research Using 5 alpha reductase inhibitors safely: What primary care physicians need to know
5 alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual, cognitive, and muscle side effects, and may slightly increase aggressive cancer risk.
research O que sabemos sobre os inibidores da 5 alfa redutase?
Finasteride and dutasteride are effective for male hair loss and enlarged prostate but may cause reversible sexual side effects.
research Identification of xenobiotics interfering with 5 α -reductase (SRD5A2) activity
MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme.
research Expression of Cyclooxygenase Isozymes During Morphogenesis and Cycling of Pelage Hair Follicles in Mouse Skin: Precocious Onset of the First Catagen Phase and Alopecia upon Cyclooxygenase-2 Overexpression
Overexpression of COX-2 causes early hair loss in mice, but can be prevented with a COX-2 inhibitor.
research Mechanistic Approach on the Pulmonary Oxido-Inflammatory Stress Induced by Cobalt Ferrite Nanoparticles in Rats
Daily intake of 0.5 or 5 mg cobalt ferrite nanoparticles can harm lungs through oxidative and inflammatory stress.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Immunohistochemical localization of types 1 and 2 5α-reductase in human scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
