Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research Mixture effects of endocrine disrupting compounds in vitro
Weak endocrine disruptors in mixtures can have significant effects and should be considered in risk assessments.
research Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance modulate gravid uterine and placental ferroptosis in PCOS-like rats
Hyperandrogenism and insulin resistance in PCOS-like rats can lead to pregnancy complications due to increased cell death in the uterus and placenta.
research Testosterone, Dihydrotestosterone, and Incident Cardiovascular Disease and Mortality in the Cardiovascular Health Study
DHT may increase the risk of heart disease and death in elderly men.
research Androgen‐induced neurite outgrowth is mediated by neuritin in motor neurones
Androgens help motor neurons grow by increasing neuritin.
research Hormonal Effects on Hair Follicles
Hormones like testosterone and estrogen significantly affect hair growth and structure.
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 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 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 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Nonsteroidal inhibitors of human type I steroid 5-.alpha.-reductase
New compounds called benzoquinolinones may treat conditions linked to excess DHT.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
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.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content*
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Androgenetic alopecia: An autosomal dominant disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors and Erectile Dysfunction: The Connection
5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but the exact reasons are unclear.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research BENIGN PREMATURE ADRENARCHE: CLINICAL FEATURES AND SERUM STEROID LEVELS
Dexamethasone effectively normalizes elevated steroid levels in girls with premature adrenarche.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism

Sex hormones, especially androgens, play a key role in causing acne.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene
The human type II 5α-reductase gene has a specific structure important for understanding certain medical conditions.
research Comparison of finasteride versus flutamide in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
research Testosterone Metabolism in the Skin
Increased DHT formation in skin can cause hair loss, acne, and excessive hair growth, and antiandrogens might treat these conditions.
research Comparison of Finasteride (Proscar®) and Serenoa repens (Permixon®) in the Inhibition of 5-Alpha Reductase in Healthy Male Volunteers
Finasteride works better than Permixon in reducing dihydrotestosterone levels.
research 18β‐Glycyrrhetinic acid: its core biological properties and dermatological applications
18β-glycyrrhetinic acid from licorice root is good for skin and hair treatments but has absorption challenges.
