The method is quick and effective for testing steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors.
research Suppression of spermatogenesis with desogestrel and testosterone pellets is not enhanced by addition of finasteride.
research The injectable contraceptives depot medroxyprogesterone acetate and norethisterone enanthate substantially and differentially decrease testosterone and sex hormone binding globulin levels: A secondary study from the WHICH randomized clinical trial
Both injectable contraceptives lower testosterone and SHBG levels, with NET-EN having a greater effect than DMPA-IM.
research Effets de médicaments gonadiques pour la neuroprotection du cerveau chez un modèle animal de la maladie de Parkinson
Dutasteride may protect brain cells in early Parkinson's, while progesterone helps neuron recovery.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research The Modulation of Aromatase and Estrogen Receptor Alpha in Cultured Human Dermal Papilla Cells by Dexamethasone: A Novel Mechanism for Selective Action of Estrogen via Estrogen Receptor Beta?
Dexamethasone may influence hair growth by altering estrogen receptor activity in hair cells.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research Corrigendum to “Patients treated for male pattern hair loss with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma” [J. Steroid Biochem. Mol. Biol. 146 (2015) 74–79]
Stopping finasteride for male pattern hair loss changes neuroactive steroid levels in the brain and blood.

research Effect of C-ring modifications in benzo[c]quinolizin-3-ones, new selective inhibitors of human 5α-reductase 1
Changing the C-ring structure in certain compounds can make them better at blocking a specific human enzyme.
research A clinico-pathological study of Neogynon as a new oral contraceptive steroid.
Neogynon effectively prevents pregnancy but may cause side effects like headaches and menstrual changes.
research 11α-Hydroxyprogesterone, a potent 11β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase inhibitor, is metabolised by steroid-5α-reductase and cytochrome P450 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase to produce C11α-derivatives of 21-deoxycortisol and 11-hydroxyandrostenedione in vitro
11α-Hydroxyprogesterone is changed into different substances by certain enzymes and may play a role in prostate cancer.
