research Identification of 5α-reductase isoenzymes in canine skin
Two types of 5α-reductase are in dog skin, which might make dutasteride better than finasteride for treating dog hair loss.
research Pericardial, pleural effusion and anasarca: A rare complication of low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss
A woman developed swelling in her body after taking low-dose oral minoxidil for hair loss, but it resolved after stopping the medication.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Optimal Management of Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia: A Practical Guide
Early diagnosis and combination therapy, especially with finasteride and dutasteride, are key to managing Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia effectively.
