research The feasibility of quantitative analysis of androgen metabolism by use of single dermal papillae from human hair follicles
Using single dermal papillae is unreliable for analyzing androgen metabolism in hair follicles.
research The inflammatory component of androgenetic alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, a genetic disorder affecting up to 50% of adults, is caused by an excessive response to androgens leading to hair follicle shrinkage. Treatments include FDA-approved drugs, other therapies like low-dose oral minoxidil, and hair transplantation.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Mechanism of androgenic alopecia: Addressing speculations through empirical evidences
Hair loss in men is mainly caused by hormones and genes, and while current treatments can slow it down, they can't fully stop it.

New liposome treatment successfully delivers CRISPR to deactivate a key enzyme in androgen-related disorders.
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 Exploring the Potential of Eclipta alba: A Promising Approach for Hair Treatment Management through 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibition
Eclipta alba extract could be a promising natural treatment for hair loss.
research The medicinal activity of lyophilized aqueous seed extract of Lepidium sativum L. in an androgenic alopecia model
The seed extract of Lepidium sativum L. can potentially treat hair loss, showing effects similar to 5% minoxidil.
research Studies on the effect of Betula platyphylla extract on human dermal papilla cell proliferation and its mechanism of action
Betula platyphylla extract, particularly the H3-2 fraction, may help treat hair loss by promoting cell growth and inhibiting a hair loss-related enzyme.
research 5 Alpha - Reductase and Metabolic Syndrome in PCOS Patients
A higher testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio in PCOS patients may indicate worse metabolic health.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Treatment for Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia:A Myth or Truth?
