research The Effect of 5α-Reductase Inhibition with Dutasteride and Finasteride on Semen Parameters and Serum Hormones in Healthy Men
Dutasteride and finasteride may reduce sperm count and volume but don't affect movement or shape; effects are reversible after stopping.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Cardiovascular risks and elevation of serum DHT vary by route of testosterone administration: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Oral testosterone therapy raises heart risk more than other methods.
research External genitalia abnormalities in male rats exposed in utero to finasteride, a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Finasteride exposure in pregnancy causes genital abnormalities in male rats.
research Psychological Effect, Pathophysiology, and Management of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men
Minoxidil and finasteride can slow hair loss and stimulate regrowth, but won't restore all lost hair or reverse complete baldness.
research The Rationale for Inhibiting 5α-Reductase Isoenzymes in the Prevention and Treatment of Prostate Cancer
Inhibiting 5α-reductase can help reduce prostate cancer risk and improve treatment.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research Nonsteroidal inhibitors of human type I steroid 5-.alpha.-reductase
New compounds called benzoquinolinones may treat conditions linked to excess DHT.
research No evidence for the immunocompetence handicap hypothesis in male humans
Higher free testosterone levels in men are linked to a stronger immune response, not weaker.
research Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Anti-androgenic activities of Ganoderma lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum, a type of mushroom, may help treat enlarged prostate by blocking testosterone conversion.
research Androgen receptors and their biology
Androgen receptors are key for development and health, affecting conditions like prostate cancer and male pattern baldness.
research Treatment of MSCs with Wnt1a-conditioned medium activates DP cells and promotes hair follicle regrowth
Wnt1a-conditioned medium from stem cells helps activate cells important for hair growth and can promote hair regrowth.
research 46,XY DSD due to impaired androgen production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research An Overview of Alopecias
The document explains different types of hair loss, their causes, and treatments, and suggests future research areas.
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 Finasteride for female androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride increases hair density in female androgenetic alopecia, but individual results may vary.
research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Biology of Hair Growth
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone affect hair growth, and new techniques like the folliculogram help study it, but fully understanding hair growth is still complex.
research Dutasteride
Dutasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate, reduces prostate cancer risk, and promotes hair regrowth with few side effects.
research Gonadal dysgenesis and bone metabolism
Gonadal dysgenesis, like Turner's and Klinefelter's syndromes, negatively affects bone health, but hormone treatments can help.
research Functional hair follicle regeneration: an updated review
Hair follicle regeneration possible, more research needed.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research 5-Alpha reductase deficiency
5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Age-related hair changes in men: Mechanisms and management of alopecia and graying
Men's hair loss is caused by hormones and genes, and can be treated with medication and surgery, while graying is due to aging and has no prevention except dyeing.
research Quantitative Models for the Study of Hair Growth in Vivoa
The conclusion is that small hair follicles cause baldness in macaques, and treatments like antiandrogens and minoxidil can prevent hair loss and promote regrowth.
research Hair Biology
