research Proscar@ (Finasteride) inhibits 5α-reductase activity in the ovaries and testes of Lytechinus variegatus Lamarck (Echinodermata: Echinoidea)
Proscar (finasteride) blocks 5α-reductase in sea urchin ovaries and testes, suggesting potential treatment for androgen-related conditions.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
