Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Stress-Induced Deoxycorticosterone-Derived Neurosteroids Modulate GABAAReceptor Function and Seizure Susceptibility
Stress increases neurosteroids that help prevent seizures.
research The Modulation of Aromatase and Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by Dexamethasone: A Novel Mechanism for Selective Action of Estrogen via Estrogen Receptor Beta?
Dexamethasone may influence hair growth by altering estrogen receptor activity in hair cells.
research VIBRATIONAL SPECTROSCOPIC INVESTIGATION AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE OF A 5α-REDUCTASE INHIBITOR: FINASTERIDE
Finasteride's molecular properties and active sites were identified using computational methods.
research More about X‐linked testicular feminization of the mouse as a noninducible (is) mutation of a regulatory locus: 5α‐androstan‐3α‐17ß‐diol as the true inducer of kidney alcohol dehydrogenase and ß‐glucuronidase
A specific metabolite, not a receptor protein, triggers the production of certain kidney enzymes, but this process is disrupted in mice with a mutation causing testicular feminization.
research 5α‐reductase inhibitors: Evaluation of their potential confounding effect on GC‐C‐IRMS doping analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research Recent advances in thiasteroids chemistry
New sulfur-containing steroid analogs show promise for more targeted medical treatments.

Clascoterone may be an effective topical treatment for hair loss.
research The Androgen Receptor and Its Use in Biological Assays: Looking Toward Effect-Based Testing and Its Applications
Scientists have developed a new method to detect steroid abuse in athletes using cell-based tests, which could be the future of anti-doping methods.
research Impact of dutasteride on spermatogenesis and oxidative status in rats.
Dutasteride did not change rat spermatogenesis or oxidative stress but needs more research.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research Determination of concentrations of sex steroids in blood plasma and semen of male dogs treated with delmadinone acetate or finasteride.
research 896 Androgens activate lipogenesis through an AKT-independent mTOR pathway stimulation and a limitation of autophagy in an androgen-sensitive sebocyte cell line
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) increases oil production in skin cells by activating mTOR, and mTOR inhibitors can reduce this effect.
research A role for steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in vascular remodeling during endometrial decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.

Estrogen deficiency can reduce the enzyme activity needed to activate vitamin D.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Effect of neurosteroid dehydroepiandrosterone on the higher nervous activity of old non-human primates
DHEA improved brain function and behavior in old monkeys and had additional health benefits.
research Molecular interactions of natural and synthetic steroids in female hamsters’ flank organs
Testosterone, progesterone, and levonorgestrel change enzyme levels related to fat production in hamster skin, which could affect skin oil and acne.
