research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition With Dutasteride and Finasteride on Bone Mineral Density, Serum Lipoproteins, Hemoglobin, Prostate Specific Antigen and Sexual Function in Healthy Young Men
Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.
research Steroidogenesis of the testis – new genes and pathways
New genes and pathways are important for testosterone production and male sexual development.
research Anti-androgenic activities of Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum, a type of mushroom, may help treat enlarged prostate by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Male gonadal function in coeliac disease: 2. Sex hormones.
Men with coeliac disease may have hormone imbalances that could affect sexual function, but these can improve with better gut health.
research Saccharomyces cerevisiae BLYAS, a New Bioluminescent Bioreporter for Detection of Androgenic Compounds
The engineered yeast strain BLYAS can quickly and sensitively detect androgenic chemicals.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research The Hair Follicle: A Paradoxical Androgen Target Organ
Androgens can both promote and prevent hair growth due to differences in gene expression in hair follicles.
research The effects of finasteride on scalp skin and serum androgen levels in men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively reduces hair loss by decreasing androgen levels.
research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research The enzyme and inhibitors of 4-ene-3-oxosteroid 5α-oxidoreductase
Inhibitors of the enzyme 5 alpha-reductase could potentially treat disorders like prostate cancer and baldness.
research Finasteride in the treatment of alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern baldness, improving hair growth and density.
research 5alpha-reductase: history and clinical importance.
5alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat BPH by reducing DHT, offering symptom relief and potential future uses.
research Treatment of MSCs with Wnt1a-conditioned medium activates DP cells and promotes hair follicle regrowth
Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
research Steroid Sulfatase in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
Steroid sulfatase in hair follicles may be a target for treating hair loss.
research STRESS AND AGING*
Anabolic steroids may help prevent aging effects by reducing toxicity, not by their usual functions.
research A model for the turnover of dihydrotestosterone in the presence of the irreversible 5α-reductase inhibitors GI198745 and finasteride
Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Male pattern hair loss: current understanding
Genetics and hormones cause hair loss; finasteride treats it safely.
research The effect of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on scalp skin testosterone and dihydrotestosterone concentrations in patients with male pattern baldness.
Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.
research Androgen Receptors and Androgen-Dependent Initiation of Protein Synthesis in the Prostate
Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.
research Effect of 5α-Dihydrotestosterone and Testosterone on Apoptosis in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
High levels of testosterone and 5α-DHT can lead to cell death in cells important for hair growth.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research Antiandrogenic Therapy With Finasteride Attenuates Cardiac Hypertrophy and Left Ventricular Dysfunction
Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1
Human bone cells mainly produce a type 1 enzyme that may help regulate bone health.
research GC-MS determination of steroids related to androgen biosynthesis in human hair with pentafluorophenyldimethylsilyl–trimethylsilyl derivatisation
