research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
research Androgenetic alopecia and microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
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 What does androgenetic alopecia have to do with COVID‐19? An insight into a potential new therapy
Androgenetic alopecia linked to COVID-19 severity; drugs reducing androgen receptor activation may help.
research Neo-synthesis of estrogenic or androgenic neurosteroids determine whether long-term potentiation or depression is induced in hippocampus of male rat
DHT is needed for long-term depression, while E2 is needed for full long-term potentiation in male rat brains.
research Androgenetic alopecia; drug safety and therapeutic strategies
Personalized treatment with inhibitors, minoxidil, and laser therapy helps hair loss.
research Human scalp hair: Modulation by various factors and hormones do estrogens inhibit or stimulate—A perplexing perspective
The effects of estrogen on human scalp hair growth are unclear and need more research.
research DUTASTERIDE AS AN EFFECTIVE TREATMENT IN ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA – A LITERATURE REVIEW
Dutasteride is more effective than finasteride for hair loss, but more research is needed on safety and dosing.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism*
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Endocrine control of benign prostatic hyperplasia
Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
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 Dihydrotestosterone induces p27 degradation via direct binding with SKP2 in ovarian and breast cancer
Dihydrotestosterone causes p27 protein breakdown in ovarian and breast cancer cells by binding with SKP2.
