Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Clinical features, with video documentation, of the original familial lewy body parkinsonism caused by α‐synuclein triplication (Iowa kindred)
The document describes a woman with familial Parkinson's disease due to a genetic mutation, showing severe symptoms and poor response to treatment, and suggests finasteride may help reduce symptoms in Tourette syndrome.
research Signalling by senescent melanocytes hyperactivates hair growth
Senescent melanocytes can boost hair growth by activating hair stem cells.
research Inducing hair follicle neogenesis with secreted proteins enriched in embryonic skin
Three specific proteins can turn adult skin cells into hair-growing cells, suggesting a new hair loss treatment.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research The anxiolytic effect of pregnancy in rats is reversed by finasteride
Pregnancy reduces anxiety in rats, but finasteride reverses this effect.
