Chromosomal differences affect how muscle cells respond to testosterone.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of A randomized, active- and placebo-controlled study of the efficacy and safety of different doses of dutasteride versus placebo and finasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia.
Dutasteride 0.5mg was found to be more effective than finasteride 1mg in treating male pattern hair loss, with similar side effects.
research Finasteride-induced depression: new insights into possible pathomechanisms
Finasteride may increase depression by reducing brain cell growth.
research The Future of Alopecia Treatment: Plant Extracts, Nanocarriers, and 3D Bioprinting in Focus
New treatments like plant extracts, nanocarriers, and 3D bioprinting show promise for hair loss, but more research is needed.
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 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 A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research The novel drug CS-891 inhibits 5alpha-reductase activity in freshly isolated dermal papilla of human hair follicles.
CS-891 may effectively treat hair loss by blocking enzymes in hair follicles.
research Predominant expression of 5 alpha-reductase type 1 in pubic skin from normal subjects and hirsute patients.
The main enzyme found in pubic skin that could be targeted to treat excessive hair growth is 5 alpha-R2.
research Dihydroartemisinin attenuates benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats by inhibiting prostatic epithelial cell proliferation
Dihydroartemisinin helps reduce prostate enlargement in rats by stopping the growth of prostate cells.
research Blockade of Androgen Markers Using a Novel Betasitosterol, Thioctic Acid and Carnitine-containing Compound in Prostate and Hair Follicle Cell-based Assays
The new compound was more effective than finasteride in reducing markers of hair loss and prostate issues in cell tests.
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 Triple Hormonal Blockade (ADT3): A Patient’s Perspective
