research Saturable Binding of Finasteride to Steroid 5α-reductase as Determinant of Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride's effect on hair loss and prostate enlargement depends on its binding to an enzyme, with maximum impact at 0.2 mg dose.
research Hypertrichosis and topical corticosteroid use
Prolonged use of topical corticosteroids can cause excessive hair growth.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids

research Intratumoral De Novo Steroid Synthesis Activates Androgen Receptor in Castration-Resistant Prostate Cancer and Is Upregulated by Treatment with CYP17A1 Inhibitors
Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
research Effects of anabolic-androgenic steroids on the pilosebaceous unit.
Anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin issues like acne and oily skin by enlarging oil glands and changing skin oils.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel unsaturated carboxysteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A legitimate approach
New steroid compounds effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and may treat hair loss.
research Microneedling plus topical dutasteride solution for androgenetic alopecia: a randomized placebo‐controlled study
Microneedling with topical dutasteride improves hair growth in men with hair loss and is safe to use.
research Comparison of oral minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia
Dutasteride is the most effective for hair loss but may cause sexual and mental side effects.
research The Acute Anticonvulsant Effects of Deoxycorticosterone in Developing Rats: Role of Metabolites and Mineralocorticoid‐receptor Responses
Deoxycorticosterone and its metabolites help prevent seizures by interacting with specific receptors.
research Expanding the therapeutic potential of neuro(active)steroids: a promising strategy for hyperdopaminergic behavioral phenotypes
Neurosteroids may help treat disorders with too much dopamine activity.
research Immediate and Delayed Complications of Dexamethasone Cyclophosphamide Pulse (DCP) Therapy
DCP therapy causes side effects like weakness, flushing, headaches, and taste changes, but less frequently causes hypertension and diabetes.
research Re: Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men with Suppressed Testosterone Production: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Testosterone increases muscle mass regardless of DHT conversion blocking.
research Problems in evaluating chronic toxicity of contraceptive steroids in dogs
High doses of some contraceptive steroids cause health issues in dogs, but their relevance to humans is unclear.
