5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly reduce urinary symptoms and may lower surgery and acute retention risks in men.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Association between 5-alpha reductase inhibition and risk of hip fracture.
5-alpha reductase inhibitors do not increase hip fracture risk.
research DSC-investigations of alpha-keratins and the specific effects of chemical treatments on human hair
Chemical treatments weaken hair's thermal stability and structure.
research Alpha-blockers/finasteride: no benefit in ED
research The use of electron spin resonance techniques to determine gamma ray exposure of $\alpha$-keratin in human hair
Whole hair strands can reliably measure gamma ray exposure using ESR techniques, but samples should be analyzed quickly or stored in liquid nitrogen.
research CHARACTERIZATION OF PHOTOSENSITIZING EFFECTS BY TOPICAL DELIVERY OF ALPHA-TERTHIENYL AND UVA
Topical alpha-terthienyl with UVA may safely treat psoriasis without cancer risk.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Chronic ethanol increases certain brain receptor levels, influenced by steroids and protein changes.
research Ethanol-induced GABAA receptor alpha4 subunit plasticity involves phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids
Ethanol changes GABAA receptor α4 subunit levels through phosphorylation and neuroactive steroids.
research Transgenic mice provide new insights into the role of TGF-alpha during epidermal development and differentiation.
TGF-alpha affects skin thickness, hair growth, and may contribute to psoriasis and papilloma formation.
research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research 3 alpha, 17 beta-androstanediol glucuronide in plasma. A marker of androgen action in idiopathic hirsutism.
High levels of 3 alpha-diol glucuronide in the blood are a marker of increased androgen action in women with excessive hair growth of unknown cause.
research Cachexia and graft-vs.-host-disease-type skin changes in keratin promoter-driven TNF alpha transgenic mice.
TNF alpha in skin cells causes weight loss, hair and fat issues, and skin inflammation in mice.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene.
The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.
research Nonsteroidal inhibitors of human type I steroid 5-.alpha.-reductase
New compounds called benzoquinolinones may treat conditions linked to excess DHT.
research Protein kinase Cepsilon is linked to 12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate-induced tumor necrosis factor-alpha ectodomain shedding and the development of metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in protein kinase Cepsilon transgenic mice.
Overexpression of PKCepsilon leads to increased TNFalpha, promoting metastatic squamous cell carcinoma in mice.
research 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors and Erectile Dysfunction: The Connection
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but the exact reasons are unclear.
research Comparison of Finasteride (Proscar®) and Serenoa repens (Permixon®) in the Inhibition of 5-Alpha Reductase in Healthy Male Volunteers
Finasteride works better than Permixon in reducing dihydrotestosterone levels.
research Effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors on erectile function, sexual desire and ejaculation
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual desire, sometimes lasting after stopping the drug.
research Finasteride: A slow-binding 5.alpha.-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride slowly binds to 5-alpha-reductase, affecting enzyme stability and inhibitor potency.
research Effects of finasteride, a type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, on fetal development in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
Finasteride, when given in high oral doses to pregnant monkeys, caused genital abnormalities in male fetuses, but not in female fetuses or those exposed to intravenous finasteride.
research The effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on scalp skin testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations in patients with male pattern baldness.
Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.
research The biochemical and phenotypic characterization of females homozygous for 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency.
Females with 5 alpha-reductase-2 deficiency have less body hair, no acne, normal fertility, and delayed menarche.
research 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene mutations in the Dominican Republic.
Different mutations in the 5 alpha-reductase-2 gene were found in affected individuals in the Dominican Republic, suggesting no common ancestry.
research Central 5-alpha reduction of testosterone is required for testosterone's inhibition of the hypothalamo-pituitary–adrenal axis response to restraint stress in adult male rats
Testosterone needs to be converted to DHT to reduce stress response in male rats.
research 5 Alpha-reductase inhibitors: whatʼs new?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research 5-Alpha reductase deficiency
