research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research Ganoderma lucidum is an inhibitor of testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia in rats
Ganoderma lucidum may help treat enlarged prostate in rats.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
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.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
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 A role for steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in vascular remodeling during endometrial decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Post-finasteride syndrome
Finasteride may cause lasting sexual, mental, and physical symptoms; use with caution.
research Cognitive and mood side effects of lower urinary tract medication
Some medications for bladder problems can cause memory issues or mood changes, and doctors should monitor these side effects.
research Use of genetics in the prediction of success in male pattern hair loss therapy and mechanistic studies
Genetics can help tailor treatments for male pattern hair loss, improving outcomes like stabilization or modest regrowth.
research Drug-induced male infertility: a real-world study using FAERS and EudraVigilance databases
Certain drugs can cause male infertility, so fertility counseling and sperm preservation are advised.
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 A concise review- Development of an analytical method and validation of dutasteride
New methods for measuring dutasteride are effective and reliable.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Guest Editorial
The editorial concludes that the field of hair loss treatment has become more scientific and that effective treatments are important for self-esteem and job prospects.
research Hidradenitis suppurativa
Antiandrogen therapy may be beneficial for women with hidradenitis suppurativa.
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 Mechanistic synergy of hair growth promotion by the Avicennia marina extract and its active constituent (avicequinone C) in dermal papilla cells isolated from androgenic alopecia patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Undariopsis peterseniana Promotes Hair Growth by the Activation of Wnt/β-Catenin and ERK Pathways
Undariopsis peterseniana extract helps hair grow by activating certain cell growth pathways and could be a new treatment for hair loss.
research The dihydrotestosterone (DHT) hypothesis of prostate cancer and its therapeutic implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another
Some diseases can improve the outcomes of other diseases, leading to new treatment possibilities.
