research Role of 5α-reductase inhibitors in androgen-stimulated skin disorders.
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride can help treat skin disorders stimulated by androgens, such as hair loss and acne.
research Testosterone metabolites differentially maintain adult morphology in a sexually dimorphic neuromuscular system
Androgens are essential for maintaining adult neuromuscular structure.
research Roles of p38- and c-jun NH2-terminal kinase-mediated pathways in 2-methoxyestradiol-induced p53 induction and apoptosis
2-Methoxyestradiol causes cancer cell death by activating specific pathways, but androgens can block this effect.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Do androgens really play a major role in the pathophysiology of androgenetic alopecia?
Androgens might not be the only major factor in hair loss; other elements could also be important.
research New Drugs: Dutasteride
Dutasteride is approved to help manage prostate enlargement.
research Virilization from partner's use of topical androgen in a reproductive-aged woman
