Research
390-420 / 1000+ resultsresearch 5α-Reductase: History and Clinical Importance
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat BPH by reducing DHT levels.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Novel inhibitors of 5α-reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Treatment of hirsutism with flutamide and a low-dosage oral contraceptive in polycystic ovarian disease patients
Flutamide combined with a low-dose birth control pill effectively reduces excessive hair growth in women with polycystic ovarian disease.
research Genetic regulation of the androgen receptor—A study of testicular feminization in the mouse
The study concludes that a genetic mutation in TFM mice leads to reduced androgen receptor activity, affecting the body's response to male hormones.
research Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) have specific impacts on the mouse uterus
GTx-024 and Danazol affect the uterus like DHT, while GTx-007 has little impact.
research Serum androgens and risk of atrial fibrillation in older men: The Cardiovascular Health Study
Older men with low levels of a testosterone byproduct had a higher chance of developing an irregular heartbeat.
research Aromatase inhibitors induce ‘male pattern hair loss’ in women?
Aromatase inhibitors cause male pattern hair loss in women.
research Medical management of male pattern hair loss
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow or halt hair loss, but may have side effects.
research Estrogen-Dependent Ontogeny of Sex Differences in Somatostatin Neurons of the Hypothalamic Periventricular Nucleus*
Male rats have more somatostatin neurons than females due to testosterone converting to estrogen during early development.
research Physcion, a novel inhibitor of 5α-reductase that promotes hair growth in vitro and in vivo
Physcion may help treat hair loss by blocking an enzyme linked to baldness.
research Mechanism of Salutary Effects of Finasteride on Post-traumatic Immune/Inflammatory Response
Finasteride reduces inflammation and improves immune response after trauma by altering hormone levels.
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 Biochemical Mechanisms Regulating Human Hair Growth
Androgens shorten hair growth phases, causing finer hair and more severe hair loss in men.
research Activation of Hair Cell Growth Factors by Linoleic Acid in Malva verticillata Seed
Linoleic acid from Malva verticillata seeds may help treat hair loss by promoting hair cell growth and blocking baldness signals.
research High circulating oestrone and low testosterone correlate with adverse clinical outcomes in men with advanced liver disease
Men with advanced liver disease and high oestrone and low testosterone levels have worse health outcomes.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of 3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs: Novel class of 5α-reductase inhibitors
3-tetrazolo steroidal analogs can strongly inhibit the enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research Development of a new gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) methodology for the evaluation of 5α-reductase activity
A new method was developed to accurately measure enzyme activity related to prostate health.
research Isosexual Precocious Pseudopuberty Secondary to a Testosterone-Secreting Leydig Cell Testicular Tumour: True Isosexual Development Early After Surgery*
A boy's early puberty caused by a testicular tumor returned to normal after surgery.
research Male androgenetic alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research Is idiopathic hirsutism idiopathic?
Idiopathic hirsutism may be linked to increased enzyme activity.
research Effects of Lespedeza Cuneata aqueous extract on testosterone-induced prostatic hyperplasia
Lespedeza cuneata extract may help treat enlarged prostate.
research Metabolic, Behavioral, and Reproductive Effects of Vertical Sleeve Gastrectomy in an Obese Rat Model of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Vertical sleeve gastrectomy improved metabolism, behavior, and reproduction in obese rats with PCOS.
research Saturable Binding of Finasteride to Steroid 5α-reductase as Determinant of Nonlinear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride's effect on hair loss and prostate enlargement depends on its binding to an enzyme, with maximum impact at 0.2 mg dose.
research The Organ-Maintained Human Sebaceous Gland
Human sebaceous glands can grow normally for a week without certain growth factors, and adding estrogen reduces their oil production without affecting cell growth.
research Hirsutism, its pathogenesis
Hirsutism in females is caused by high male hormones or sensitive hair follicles.
research Androgen binding to cytosol and nuclei of hamster sebaceous glands
Dihydrotestosterone specifically binds to hamster sebaceous glands, with a higher affinity than testosterone.
