research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research 13C-NMR study of 4-azasteroids in solution and solid state
4-azasteroids, including finasteride, can inhibit 5α-reductase, helping treat conditions like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Androgen Receptor–Mediated Paracrine Signaling Induces Regression of Blood Vessels in the Dermal Papilla in Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness is linked to higher levels of a certain receptor in the scalp, which leads to the shrinking of blood vessels and hair loss. Early treatment targeting this receptor could be more effective.
research Androgenetic alopecia – Current status
The document discusses male and female pattern hair loss, its diagnosis methods, FDA-approved treatments like finasteride and minoxidil, their side effects, and the role of lifestyle changes.
research Comment on Current Investigations into the Postfinasteride Syndrome
Finasteride is effective for hair regrowth, but some believe it may cause persistent symptoms due to psychological factors.
research Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase
Dihydrotestosterone and 5α-Reductase play a role in hair loss and prostate health, and finasteride can increase hair growth in men without affecting sperm production, but it doesn't work for postmenopausal women with hair loss.
research Induction of hair growth in hair follicle cells and organ cultures upon treatment with 30 kHz frequency inaudible sound via cell proliferation and antiapoptotic effects
Inaudible sound at 30 kHz can boost hair growth and decrease hair loss by promoting cell growth and reducing cell death in hair follicles.
research Recent advances in the molecular mechanisms causing primary generalized glucocorticoid resistance
Mutations in the NR3C1 gene cause a rare condition that affects hormone signaling and can lead to various symptoms, with dexamethasone as a treatment option.
research The diversity of sex development: What do conditions affecting sex development teach us about sexual diversity?
Conditions affecting sex development show that sexual diversity is a natural part of human variation.
research Female pattern hair loss
Hair loss in women is genetic, diagnosed by examination and biopsy, and treated with minoxidil, finasteride, or transplantation.
research Tributyltin (TBT) effects on Ocinebrina aciculata (Gastropoda: Muricidae): imposex development, sterilization, sex change and population decline
Tributyltin exposure causes sex changes, sterilization, and decline in the snail Ocinebrina aciculata, risking its extinction.
research Visually scoring hirsutism
The modified Ferriman-Gallwey method is a useful tool for diagnosing hirsutism.
research Evaluation of long‐term efficacy of finasteride in Korean men with androgenetic alopecia using the basic and specific classification system
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss in Korean men for at least 5 years, with V type responding better.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Penis Endocrinology
Hormones, especially testosterone and DHT, are key for penis development and function, and testosterone therapy may help with erectile dysfunction in those with low levels.
research 5α‐Reductase Isozymes and Androgen Actions in the Prostate
5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.
research Rooster feathering, androgenic alopecia, and hormone-dependent tumor growth: What is in common?
Sex hormones affect hair and feather growth and may help manage alopecia and hormone-dependent cancers.
research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate, shrinks it, improves urination, but may cause sexual dysfunction and isn't for women or children.
research Expression of mRNA for androgen receptor, 5alpha-reductase and 17beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase in human dermal papilla cells
Hair sensitivity to androgens is partly controlled by specific enzyme expressions in different hair areas.
research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Molecular basis of androgen insensitivity
Mutations in the androgen receptor gene cause androgen insensitivity, leading to female traits in genetically male individuals.
research Case Report: Disorder of Sexual Development in a Chinese Crested Dog With XX/XY Leukocyte Chimerism and Mixed Cell Testicular Tumors
A female dog with mixed male and female traits was treated successfully with surgery.
research 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency in the Mediterranean population.
A genetic defect causes males in some Mediterranean populations to be born with ambiguous genitalia and develop male traits at puberty.
research Pharmacology of Anti-androgens in the Skin
Anti-androgens can help reduce the effects of male hormones on the skin.
research Abordagens psicológicas e novas terapêuticas perante as escolhas do paciente portador da Síndrome de Morris
Patients with Complete Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome need psychological support and multidisciplinary care for complex treatment decisions.
research Ornithine decarboxylase is upregulated by the androgen receptor in skeletal muscle and regulates myoblast proliferation
Androgens increase muscle mass by promoting myoblast growth through ornithine decarboxylase.
research Identification of xenobiotics interfering with 5 α -reductase (SRD5A2) activity
MK-0773 is a moderate inhibitor of the SRD5A2 enzyme.
research Post-finasteride syndrome – does it really exist?
Post-finasteride syndrome's existence is uncertain; more research needed.
