research Effect of finasteride on adrenal steroidogenesis in men.
Finasteride, when taken daily, lowers dihydrotestosterone levels but doesn't noticeably affect adrenal steroid production, except by blocking the 5 alpha-reductase enzyme.

research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.

research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
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.
