research Response to “Reply to effectiveness of dutasteride in a large series of patients with FFA in real clinical practice”
The authors suggest that 5-α-reductase inhibitors, like dutasteride, are effective in treating frontal fibrosing alopecia and should be the first-line treatment, with other options for severe cases. They also recommend further research on Janus kinase inhibitors.
research Genetic Analysis of Male Pattern Baldness and the 5α-Reductase Genes
Male pattern baldness is likely caused by multiple genes, not just 5α-reductase genes.

Using 5-alpha reductase inhibitors may lower the risk of breast cancer in females.
research Aldo-Keto Reductase (AKR) 1C3 inhibitors: a patent review
The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.
research Side Effects Related to 5 α-Reductase Inhibitor Treatment of Hair Loss in Women: A Review.
The review found that women using hair loss drugs like finasteride and dutasteride rarely reported sexual side effects.
research Deletion of hypoxia-inducible factor prolyl 4-hydroxylase 2 in FoxD1-lineage mesenchymal cells leads to congenital truncal alopecia
Removing a specific gene in certain skin cells causes hair loss on the body by disrupting normal hair development.
research Finasteride treatment for one year in 35 hirsute patients
Finasteride safely reduces excessive hair growth in women.
research Cutaneous hydroxystereoid dehydrogenases and rat-hair-cycle
Certain enzymes react strongly with some hormones in rat skin during hair growth, mainly in sebaceous glands and hair sheaths.
research Key targets of hormonal treatment of prostate cancer. Part 2: the androgen receptor and 5α-reductase
Blocking DHT production more strongly may help control advanced prostate cancer and improve quality of life.
research Steroid sulfatase inhibitors
Steroid sulfatase inhibitors could help treat hormone-related disorders and cancers.
