research Diet and acne
Diet changes can help reduce acne by limiting certain hormones.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor.
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Effect of castration and finasteride on urinary oxalate excretion in male rats
Castration and finasteride lower urinary oxalate in male rats, potentially treating urolithiasis.
research Analysis of the microRNA expression profile of normal human dermal papilla cells treated with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells in vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Medical management of male pattern hair loss
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow or halt hair loss, but may have side effects.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Synthesis and Pharmacological Evaluation of New 16-Methyl Pregnane Derivatives.
New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.
research Identification of a new plant extract for androgenic alopecia treatment using a non-radioactive human hair dermal papilla cell-based assay
A new plant extract from Avicennia marina could potentially be used to treat common hair loss.
research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.
research Production rates of testosterone and of dihydrotestosterone in female pattern hair loss
Women with female-pattern baldness produce more testosterone, but 5a-reductase inhibition treatment won't help.
research FCE 28260, a new 5α-reductase inhibitor: In vitro and in vivo effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research Epigallocatechin Gallate-Mediated Alteration of the MicroRNA Expression Profile in 5α-Dihydrotestosterone-Treated Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Green tea component EGCG may help prevent hair loss by changing microRNA levels in certain scalp cells.
research Biological activity of novel progesterone derivatives having a bulky ester side chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside suppresses DHT-induced dermal papilla cell senescence by modulating p38-dependent ER-mitochondria contacts
Cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside may help treat a common form of hair loss by protecting cells against aging and improving cell function.
research Post-Finasteride Syndrome: An Induced Delusional Disorder with the Potential of a Mass Psychogenic Illness?
PFS might be a delusional disorder with potential to become mass psychogenic illness.
research Finasteride does not prevent bladder cancer: A secondary analysis of the Medical Therapy for Prostatic Symptoms Study
Finasteride does not prevent bladder cancer.
research Synthesis and in Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-oxo-4-androstene-17.beta.-carboxamides as 5.alpha.-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
