research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Anti-androgenic and Hair Growth Promoting Activities of Lygodii Spora (Spore of Lygodium japonicum) I. Active Constituents Inhibiting Testosterone 5.ALPHA.-Reductase.
Lygodii Spora extract may help treat hair loss by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and promoting hair growth.
research Baldness, acne and testicular germ cell tumours
Men with testicular cancer were less likely to experience baldness and severe acne.
research Topical finasteride in the treatment of androgenic alopecia. Preliminary evaluations after a 16-month therapy course
Topical finasteride helps regrow hair and reduce balding without side effects.
research Factors affecting the severity of central centrifugal cicatricial alopecia
Longer hair loss leads to more severe CCCA; early treatment and avoiding damaging hairstyles help regrowth.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Is there a pathogenetic link between frontal fibrosing alopecia, androgenetic alopecia and fibrosing alopecia in a pattern distribution?
Frontal fibrosing alopecia and androgenetic alopecia may be related, with a possible shared cause.
research Alopecia - the search for novel agents continues
Many potential alopecia treatments need more testing to confirm they promote acceptable hair growth with minimal side effects.
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 Histopathological Findings and Proliferative Activity of Canine Sebaceous Gland Tumours with a Predominant Reserve Cell Population
High proliferative activity and peripheral invasion indicate malignancy in canine sebaceous gland tumors; the term 'epithelioma' should be updated for clarity.
![Synthesis and In Vitro Study of 17β-[N-Ureylene-N,N′-Disubstituted]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as Selective Inhibitors of Type I 5α-Reductase](/images/research/d19df8a7-8de6-4430-8a0d-4ffa1f502985/small/15608.jpg)
research Synthesis and in vitro study of 17β-[N-ureylene-N,N′-disubstituted]-4-methyl-4-aza-5α-androstan-3-ones as selective inhibitors of type I 5α-reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research Effect of the gonadotrophin releasing hormone analogue, goserelin, and oestradiol replacement on sebum excretion rates and hair size in mildly hirsute women
Goserelin and oestradiol treatment slightly improved hairiness but did not significantly change sebum production or hair characteristics in mildly hirsute women.
research Early onset female pattern hair loss: a case–control study for analyzing clinical features and genetic variants
Early onset female hair loss is linked to lower hair density, scalp issues, and certain genetic factors.
research Influence of Liposomes and Niosomes on the In Vitro Permeation and Skin Retention of Finasteride
Liposomes and niosomes can increase finasteride retention in the skin.
research Balancing Hormones and Skin Health: A Focus on Oral Contraceptives in Dermatology
Oral contraceptives help treat acne and hair issues by balancing hormones but need careful use due to possible side effects.
research Prospects of integrated multi-omics-driven biomarkers for efficient hair loss therapy from systems biology perspective
New hair loss treatments could be improved by using combined biological markers.
research Etiology of Adult Female Acne–Systematic Review
Adult female acne is influenced by hormones, diet, and genetics.
research An Approach to the Patient With Hirsutism
Most women with hirsutism have normal hormone levels and can be treated with cosmetic methods; obesity and PCOS are common causes, and treatments depend on the underlying issue.
research Approach to the Patient: Diagnostic Challenges in the Work Up for Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Diagnosing PCOS is challenging due to its complex and varied symptoms.
research Hair greying in castrated mice
Removing hair from mice without reproductive glands led to grey hair, possibly helping to understand greying in aging.
research Hair loss in the elderly
Early treatment is important for better hair regrowth in elderly women with hair loss.
research An update on the treatment of female alopecia and the introduction of a potential novel therapy
Minoxidil is the only drug proven to improve female hair loss, and dextroamphetamine sulfate may be a new treatment for certain types of hair loss.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research The human skin as a hormone target and an endocrine gland
Human skin acts like a hormone-producing organ, making and managing various hormones important for skin and hair health.
research Connection between granulosa cell pyroptosis and oocyte endoplasmic reticulum stress in a mouse model of polycystic ovary syndrome
Reducing granulosa cell pyroptosis may improve oocyte maturation in PCOS.
research Pharmacological Treatment of Alopecia
Only minoxidil and finasteride are FDA-approved for hair loss, with other treatments available but less effective or with side effects.
research Regulation of human hair growth: hormones and neuropeptides
Hormones and neuropeptides affect hair growth, with androgens having opposite effects on beard and scalp hair.
research Dihydrotestosterone inhibits hair growth in mice by inhibiting insulin-like growth factor-I production in dermal papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ALOPECIAS
Recent hair loss research shows some progress, especially in understanding male pattern baldness, but effective treatments for many types of hair loss are still lacking.
