research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Male Accessory Sex Glands
Male accessory sex glands in rats rarely develop tumors and respond to hormones.
research 17α‐estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo
17α-estradiol boosts aromatase activity in female hair follicles, potentially helping with hair loss.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.

research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
