Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitor treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia: an evidence‐based treatment update
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may help stabilize or slow down hair loss in some frontal fibrosing alopecia patients, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research The connection of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to the development of depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
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 No elevated risk for osteoporosis or osteopenia among women with androgenetic or frontal fribrosing alopecia treated with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors: A retrospective TriNetX cohort study
5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not increase osteoporosis risk in women with certain hair loss conditions.
research The relevance of using 5α-reductase inhibitors in the conservative management of benign prostatic hyperplasia: A review
5α-reductase inhibitors help manage symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia and may also prevent prostate cancer and treat hair loss.
research Use of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Dermatology: A Narrative Review
5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors are effective for male hair loss and some skin conditions, but their effectiveness in women and safety concerns require careful use.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5α-reduction of androgens in the presence of progesterone in human gingival fibroblasts: modulatory actions of the alkaline phosphatase inhibitor levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Anti-androgenetic alopecia effect of policosanol from Chinese wax by regulating abnormal hormone levels to suppress premature hair follicle entry into the regression phase
Policosanol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair growth.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Pharmacological Approaches in Managing Symptomatic Relief of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Comprehensive Review
Tadalafil is effective for treating urinary symptoms in men with BPH.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers*
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Epidemiology and treatment modalities for the management of benign prostatic hyperplasia
More men are getting benign prostatic hyperplasia, and there are many treatments, from medication to surgery, with new methods being developed.
research Adverse effects of common medications on male fertility
Some common medications can harm male fertility, but many effects can be reversed.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.

Testosterone undecanoate safely and effectively increased penis size in male children with 5-alpha-reductase deficiency.
research Effects of finasteride on the morphology of polycystic ovaries
Finasteride doesn't change polycystic ovary size or cyst number, suggesting testosterone's role in their appearance.
