Higher levels of a specific hormone are linked to more chest hair and acne in men.
research Prostate cancer and androgenic alopecia
The document suggests more research is needed to understand the link between baldness and prostate cancer.
research Production rates of testosterone and of dihydrotestosterone in female pattern hair loss
Women with female-pattern baldness produce more testosterone, but 5a-reductase inhibition treatment won't help.
research Finasteride
Finasteride helps hair growth and prostate issues but may cause sexual side effects and increase tumor risk.
research Photobiomodulation mitigates DHT-induced apoptosis in dermal papilla cells via mitochondrial rescue and Wnt/TGF-β/BMP signaling modulation
Photobiomodulation helps protect hair follicle cells from damage caused by DHT.
research PHARMACOLOGICAL BASIS FOR CLINICAL USE OF ANTIANDROGENS
Cyproterone acetate is used to treat conditions like prostate cancer, early puberty, excessive sexual drive, and female androgenization by affecting androgen functions and suppressing certain hormones.
research Steroid Sulfatase Deficiency and Androgen Activation Before and After Puberty
In STSD patients, the body compensates for low androgen levels by increasing another enzyme's activity.
research Activity of type 1 5α-reductase is greater in the follicular infrainfundibulum compared with the epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Effects of Dehydroepiandrosterone Therapy on Pubic Hair Growth and Psychological Well-Being in Adolescent Girls and Young Women with Central Adrenal Insufficiency: A Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo-Controlled Phase III Trial
DHEA therapy improves pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in young females with central adrenal insufficiency.
research Risk of meningioma among users of high doses of cyproterone acetate as compared with the general population: evidence from a population-based cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate are linked to an increased risk of developing meningioma.
research Synthesis and Study of Some 17a-aza-D-homo Steroids as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
The research found that compound 6, a newly created steroid, is more effective at inhibiting 5α-reductase (an enzyme) than current treatments, suggesting it could be a better option for treating urinary tract symptoms in men.
research Hydroxylation of dehydroepiandrosterone in human scalp hair folhcles
The enzyme system in hair follicles is similar to the liver's and is affected by certain inhibitors.
research Prostate cancer incidence among finasteride and alpha-blocker users in the Finnish Prostate Cancer Screening Trial
Finasteride might lower the risk of low-grade prostate cancer but not high-grade cancer, while alpha-blockers might reduce high-grade cancer risk.
research Assessment of efficacy and safety of dapsone gel 5% in the treatment of acne vulgaris
Dapsone gel 5% is effective and safe for treating acne.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Effects of dehydroepiandrosterone therapy on pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in adolescent girls and young women with central adrenal insufficiency: a double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled phase III trial.
DHEA therapy improved pubic hair growth and psychological well-being in young females with adrenal insufficiency.
research Efficacy of Intralesional and Oral Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia: A Systematic Review
Oral dutasteride works better for hair loss, but has more sexual side effects; intralesional dutasteride is a possible alternative.
research Higher Levels of Steroidogenic Acute Regulatory Protein and Type I 3β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase in the Scalp of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with baldness have higher levels of specific proteins, suggesting local hormone production may play a role in hair loss.
research Preliminary evidence of a peculiar hormonal profile in men with adverse effects after use of finasteride aginst androgenetic alopecia
research Simultaneous Target-Mediated Drug Disposition-Pharmacodynamic (TMDD-PD) Modeling of Finasteride and Dutasteride: Impact of Target Binding and Turnover on Non-linear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride and dutasteride's effects are mainly due to target binding saturation and slow enzyme turnover.
research Novel C-6 substituted and unsubstituted pregnane derivatives as 5α-reductase inhibitors and their effect on hamster flank organs diameter size
Certain compounds reduced hamster flank organ size by inhibiting 5α-reductase, like finasteride, without affecting androgen receptors.
research Modulation of the canonical Wnt activity by androgen signaling in prostate epithelial basal stem cells
Androgen signaling reduces Wnt activity, affecting prostate stem cell growth.
