research Androgenetic alopecia; drug safety and therapeutic strategies
Personalized treatment with inhibitors, minoxidil, and laser therapy helps hair loss.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research Identification of a new plant extract for androgenic alopecia treatment using a non-radioactive human hair dermal papilla cell-based assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research Update on Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia
Best treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia is 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors and intralesional corticosteroids.
research Mechanism of action of herbs and their active constituents used in hair loss treatment
Some herbs and their components might help treat hair loss by affecting various biological pathways, but more research and regulation are needed.
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 Spectrophotometric method for the estimation of finasteride in tablets
A new method accurately measures finasteride in tablets using color change and light absorption.
research The effect of finasteride on the male rat brain
Finasteride affects the male rat brain by reducing certain protein activation, but these effects may reverse after stopping the drug.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
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 The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research Evaluation of 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of certain herbs useful as antiandrogens
Some herbs show promise as antiandrogenic agents.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors alter steroid metabolism and may contribute to insulin resistance, diabetes, metabolic syndrome and vascular disease: a medical hypothesis
Some hair loss and prostate drugs might increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors in men aged 50 years or older with androgenetic alopecia: A retrospective study
5ARI treatment improves hair growth in older men with minimal side effects.
research Pathomechanism of androgenetic alopecia and new treatment
Male pattern baldness is caused by certain cells in hair follicles and could potentially be treated by targeting a specific growth factor, TGF-β1.
research Hair-growth as anti-aging
Anti-aging treatments like hair transplants, minoxidil, and finasteride effectively promote hair growth.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Inhibition of steroid 5 alpha-reductase with finasteride: sleep-related erections, potency, and libido in healthy men.
Finasteride doesn't affect erections much, but may decrease libido in men.
research DUTASTERIDE AS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA – A LITERATURE REVIEW
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, but more research is needed on safety and dosing.
research Hormonal Therapy for Acne
Hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne, and treatments like hormone control pills and hormone-blocking medications can help.
research Causes of hair loss and the developments in hair rejuvenation
Some hair loss can be treated, especially in women due to nutrition, but some types remain untreatable.
research Dutasteride
Dutasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate, reduces prostate cancer risk, and promotes hair regrowth with few side effects.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.

Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.
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.
