research Analysis of the finasteride treatment and its withdrawal in the rat hypothalamus and hippocampus at whole-transcriptome level
Finasteride treatment in rats changed the expression of genes related to psychiatric and neurological functions, and these changes persisted after stopping the drug.
research 5-alpha reductase inhibitors use in prostatic disease and beyond
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, are used for prostate issues, hair loss, and excessive hair growth, may help with COVID-19, but can cause sexual and mental health side effects, and their use in preventing prostate cancer needs more examination.
research The post-finasteride syndrome: possible etiological mechanisms and symptoms
Post-finasteride syndrome causes lasting sexual, mental, and physical issues, needing more research for solutions.
research Comparison of Alopecia severity and blood level of testosterone in men suffering schizophrenia with control group
Men with more severe hair loss had a lower risk of schizophrenia, but hair loss and testosterone levels were not linked.
research Kyoh® Rocket Leaf Extract Regulates Proliferation and VEGF and FGF7 Expression in Human Dermal Follicle Papilla Cells
Kyoh® rocket leaf extract may promote hair growth naturally with fewer side effects.
research Case report: a study of the clinical characteristics and genetic variants of post-finasteride syndrome patients
Finasteride may cause lasting sexual and mental health issues, and genetic screening could help prevent them.
research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System
Testosterone and its metabolites affect brain functions and could help treat neurological disorders.
research Depression, higher level of tension induction, and impaired coping strategies in response to stress in women with PCOS correlate with clinical and laboratory indices of hyperandrogenism and not with central obesity and insulin resistance
Women with PCOS have more depression and stress due to high androgen levels, not obesity or insulin resistance.
research Inhibitory influence of agmatine on catamenial-like seizure susceptibility in progesterone withdrawn female rats
Agmatine may help reduce seizures linked to hormone changes in female rats.
research Sex differences in steroid levels and steroidogenesis in the nervous system: Physiopathological role
Men and women have different levels and production of brain steroids, which may affect their risk for certain brain disorders.
research Prostate Specific Antigen as Predictive Factor for Androgenemia in Women
PSA can help diagnose high androgen levels in women.
research Effects of non-contingent cocaine on 3alpha-androstanediol. I. Disruption of male sexual behavior
Cocaine impairs male sexual behavior and alters testosterone metabolism in the brain.
research Pharmacokinetics and Bioconversion of Dehydroepiandrosterone after Application of Dexamethasone in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher 5alpha-reductase activity, affecting steroid levels.
research 2-Substituted 4-(Thio)chromenone 6-O-Sulfamates: Potent Inhibitors of Human Steroid Sulfatase
New compounds were made that block an enzyme linked to breast cancer better than existing treatments.
research Androgens in Women – Critical Evaluation of the Methods for Their Determination in Diagnostics of Endocrine Disorders
The conclusion is that standardizing testosterone measurement methods is essential for better diagnosis accuracy in women.
research Androgens and Parkinson’s disease: the role in humans and in experiment
Dutasteride shows promise as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease.
research Bisphenol-A antagonizes the rapidly modulating effect of DHT on spinogenesis and long-term potentiation of hippocampal neurons
Bisphenol-A (BPA) increases connections between brain cells and boosts their activity, but it blocks the effects of a male hormone on brain cell plasticity.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research Medical Treatment of Alopecia
The most effective treatments for hair loss are minoxidil, finasteride, PRP, and hair transplants, with steroids and immunosuppressants for autoimmune types.
research Evolution, classification, structure, and functional diversification of steroid 5α-reductase family in eukaryotes
Steroid 5α-reductase evolved from protists and diversified in eukaryotes, with specific roles in mammals and plants.
research A SIBO-mediated aetiology for a subset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome cases: investigating gut-derived toxins
Gut bacteria overgrowth may cause some Post-Finasteride Syndrome symptoms.
research A SIBO-mediated aetiology for a subset of Post-Finasteride Syndrome cases: investigating gut-derived toxins

research Prefrontal 5α-reductase 2 mediates male-specific acute stress response
5α-reductase 2 is crucial for stress response in male rats.
research Reduced estradiol synthesis by letrozole, an aromatase inhibitor, is protective against development of pentylenetetrazole-induced kindling in mice
Letrozole may help prevent seizures by reducing certain hormone levels.
research Pregnenolone for the treatment of L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia in Parkinson's disease
