research Leydig Cell Hyperplasia and Adenomas in Mice Treated with Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Possible Mechanism
Finasteride causes abnormal growth in male mice cells at high doses.
research Hirsutism: Evaluation and treatment
Excessive hair growth can be assessed by history, exam, and blood tests, and treated with medication like dexamethasone, birth control pills, and spironolactone.
research Androgen Receptors and Androgen-Dependent Initiation of Protein Synthesis in the Prostate
Prostate cells have proteins that bind to specific hormones, which can increase protein production when activated by these hormones.
research Serum uric acid level in male patients with androgenetic alopecia: A prospective study in China
Men with male pattern baldness have higher uric acid levels, which can decrease with finasteride treatment.
