research What are the possible reasons for urethral PSA varieties after radical prostatectomy?
Higher urethral PSA levels after prostate removal may be linked to more scalp hair loss and more PSA in urethral glands.
research A 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride, increases differentiation and proliferation of embryonal carcinoma cell-derived-neural cells
research Matriptase activation and shedding with HAI-1 is induced by steroid sex hormones in human prostate cancer cells, but not in breast cancer cells
Steroid sex hormones activate matriptase in prostate cancer cells but not in breast cancer cells.
research Effect of finasteride on serum concentrations of dihydrotestosterone and testosterone in three clinically normal sexually intact adult male dogs.
Finasteride significantly reduces DHT levels in male dogs without affecting testosterone levels, suggesting it could be used to treat benign prostatic hypertrophy in dogs weighing 10 to 50 kilograms.
research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Possible involvement of 5α-reduced neurosteroids in adrenergic and serotonergic stimulation of GFAP gene expression in rat C6 glioma cells
5α-reduced neurosteroids may help regulate glial cell differentiation.
research Exploring the Inhibitory Potential of Phytosterols β-Sitosterol, Stigmasterol, and Campesterol on 5-Alpha Reductase Activity in the Human Prostate: An In Vitro and In Silico Approach
Phytosterols may help manage prostate issues but are less effective than synthetic drugs.
research Editorial Comment
Finasteride significantly reduces prostate cancer risk.
research Curcumin derivatives inhibit testicular 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
research Why would men use finasteride in 2005?
In 2005, men used finasteride mainly to treat an enlarged prostate.
research Referee report. For: Recent advances in treatment for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
BPH treatment improved with personalized medicine, new drugs, and less invasive surgeries.
research Inhibition of Hair Growth by Testosterone in the Presence of Dermal Papilla Cells from the Frontal Bald Scalp of the Postpubertal Stumptailed Macaque1
Testosterone can slow down hair growth when combined with certain cells from bald scalps, and this effect can be blocked by an androgen receptor blocker.
research The Percentage of Free PSA and Urinary Markers Distinguish Prostate Cancer from Benign Hyperplasia and Contribute to a More Accurate Indication for Prostate Biopsy
% free PSA and urinary markers help better identify prostate cancer.
research Prostatakarzinom
5α-reductase inhibitors lower overall prostate cancer risk but not high-grade cancer risk; longer-term screening and new treatments show promise.
research Medikamentöse Therapie der BPH Ist eine Kombinationstherapie mit 5α-Reduktasehemmern und α-Rezeptorenblockern sinnvoll?
Combination therapy is more effective for prostate volumes over 60 ml.
research Trimodal Mini‐Invasive Therapy for Stable‐Phase Peyronie's Disease: A Two‐Center Real‐Life Prospective Pilot Study
PRP injections are safe but don't significantly improve Peyronie's Disease.
research Characteristics of flutamide action on prostatic and testicular functions in the rat
Flutamide combined with an LHRH agonist effectively inhibits prostate growth, suggesting it could treat prostate cancer.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research 5ARI and PSA: open questions
5ARI treatment improves PSA test accuracy for prostate cancer diagnosis.
research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on osteoblast activity in curdlan-administered SKG mice and osteoprogenitor cells in patients with ankylosing spondylitis
DHT inhibition may increase spinal bone growth in ankylosing spondylitis.
research Methylated CpG dinucleotides in 5-α reductase 2 gene might explain the finasteride-resistance in BPE patients
Methylated gene parts may cause finasteride-resistance in some enlarged prostate patients.
research Proliferating Trichilemmal Tumor Presenting as a Scrotal Mass in a Middle-Aged Male: An Uncommon Location
A rare benign tumor was found in a man's scrotum, highlighting the need for accurate diagnosis.
research 5 Alpha-reductase inhibitors: whatʼs new?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors and Combination Therapy
Finasteride and dutasteride are effective for long-term treatment of enlarged prostates but have sexual side effects and a risk of high-grade prostate cancer.
research Light therapy as a treatment for sexual dysfunction; focus on testosterone levels
research The Antiandrogenic Action of 4–Androsten–3–one–17β– Carboxylic Acid and Its Methyl Ester on Hamster Flank Organ1
The chemicals 17βC and its methyl ester can block the effects of testosterone on hamster skin but not the effects of DHT.
research Inhibiting Biosynthesis and/or Metabolism of Progestins in the Ventral Tegmental Area Attenuates Lordosis of Rats in Behavioural Oestrus
Blocking certain brain processes reduces mating behavior in female rats.
research Use of high dose cyproterone acetate and risk of intracranial meningioma in women: cohort study
High doses of cyproterone acetate increase the risk of brain tumors in women, but the risk decreases after stopping the medication.
