research The safety and efficacy of finasteride for transgender men with androgenetic alopecia: a case series
Finasteride is safe and effective for hair loss in transgender men, but may affect testosterone therapy.
research Markers of peripheral androgen action in vivo and in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) is crucial for conditions like male-pattern baldness and acne, and measuring a byproduct, androstanediol glucuronide, is a better way to assess DHT's effects than DHT blood levels.
research Ovarian intratumoral 21-hydroxylase deficiency in a postmenopausal hirsute woman
A postmenopausal woman's masculine symptoms improved after surgery for a hormone-producing ovarian tumor.
research Sexual dimorphism of growth plate prehypertrophic and hypertrophic chondrocytes in response to testosterone requires metabolism to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by steroid 5‐alpha reductase type 1
Male cells need DHT to respond to testosterone, while female cells do not.
research Simultaneous pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic analysis of 5α-reductase inhibitors and androgens by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry
The method effectively measures drug impact on DHT levels in prostate treatments.
research C19and C215β/5αMetabolite Ratios in Subjects Treated with the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride: Comparison of Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency*
Finasteride may treat baldness but less effective for those with 5α-reductase deficiency.
research 37-Year-Old Man With Fatigue and Erectile Dysfunction
The man's fatigue and erectile dysfunction were improved by treating his obesity-related low testosterone without needing testosterone replacement.
research Comparative GC-MS Based In vitro Assays of 5α-Reductase Activity Using Rat Liver S9 Fraction
The S9 fraction with GC-IDMS is effective for measuring 5α-reductase activity.
research 8 Hair follicles and associated glands as androgen targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research Intermittent Use of Testosterone Inactivating Pharmaceuticals Using Finasteride Prolongs the Time Off Period
