Low-dose finasteride reduces excessive hair growth in teenage girls safely and affordably.
research Characterization of recombinant human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase with minoxidil as the substrate
Human liver enzyme DHEA ST helps process minoxidil.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women

research finasteride, n.
research A Randomized Trial of Oral DHEA Treatment for Sexual Function, Well-Being, and Menopausal Symptoms in Postmenopausal Women with Low Libido
DHEA did not improve sexual function, well-being, or menopausal symptoms in postmenopausal women with low libido but caused side effects like acne and increased facial hair.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen- Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Lipid Profile and 5α-Reductase Inhibition Activity of Proprietary Ultrahigh-Pressure Supercritical Carbon Dioxide and Hexane Saw Palmetto Extracts
UHP-sCESr is as effective as HESr for treating BPH symptoms.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
research 5 alpha-reductase inhibition by a new synthetic steroid (PM-9) in cultures of Penicillium crustosum.
PM-9, like finasteride, may help treat certain diseases by blocking a key enzyme.
research Effect of a novel steroid (PM-9) on the inhibition of 5α-reductase present in Penicillium crustosum broths
PM-9 and finasteride effectively inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT.
research Prostanoids and Hair Follicles: Implications for Therapy of Hair Disorders
Prostanoids, like prostaglandins and thromboxane A2, can both enhance and inhibit hair growth, and understanding their effects could help treat hair disorders.
research New Nonsteroidal Molecules as Blockers of the Steroidogenic Pathway
New nonsteroidal molecules can potentially increase dihydrotestosterone in neurons by blocking certain enzymes, without affecting prostate and seminal vesicle weight.
research The circulating dihydrotestosterone/testosterone ratio is increased by gut microbial 5α-reductase activity in females
research [Clinical significance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women].
Antiandrogens and finasteride may help treat excess hair and hair loss in women.
research Parity-related variation in cortisol concentrations in hair during pregnancy and in the postpartum period: a prospective cohort study
First-time mothers had higher stress hormone levels in late pregnancy than mothers who had given birth before.
research Use of ethinylestradiol/drospirenone combination in patients with the polycystic ovary syndrome
The birth control combination of ethinylestradiol and drospirenone helps treat symptoms of polycystic ovary syndrome.
research Experimental Assessment of 3-<i>meta</i>-Pyridine-1,2,4-Oxadiazole Deoxycholic Acid Derivative as a Prototype of 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors <i>in silico</i> and <i>in vivo</i> Models
The new compound is a promising, less toxic alternative to finasteride for treating prostate issues.
research Treatment of hirsutism and acne in women with two combinations of cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol.
Cyproterone acetate and ethinylestradiol effectively reduce hirsutism and acne in women.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Assessing medication use patterns among patients with polycystic ovary syndrome at a tertiary care teaching hospital in South Korea: A retrospective study
Most patients with PCOS were prescribed medroxyprogesterone acetate or oral contraceptives, with some experiencing side effects or needing prescription changes.
research Prostanoid receptors in anagen human hair follicles
Human hair follicles contain a complex network of prostanoid receptors that may influence hair growth.
research The influence of long-term treatment with cyproterone acetate or a cyproterone acetate-ethinyl oestradiol combination on androgen levels in blood of hirsute women
Both treatments reduced androgen levels and hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research The effect of platelet-derived growth factor-aa (PDGFA) conjugated with low-molecular-weight protamine (LMWP) on hair loss improvement effect
