New compounds were made that block an enzyme linked to breast cancer better than existing treatments.
research Progesterone enhances ethanol-induced modulation of mesocortical dopamine neurons: antagonism by finasteride
Progesterone boosts alcohol's effect on brain, finasteride counters it.
research Safety concerns regarding 5α reductase inhibitors for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia
5α reductase inhibitors treat hair loss but may cause sexual side effects and risks.
research Enhanced remyelination during late pregnancy: involvement of the GABAergic system
Late pregnancy helps repair brain damage in rats due to the GABAergic system.

Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research The Post-finasteride Syndrome: Clinical Manifestation of Drug-Induced Epigenetics Due to Endocrine Disruption
Finasteride can cause lasting sexual dysfunction, depression, and other side effects, needing more research for treatment.
research Neuroactive Steroids and Ethanol Exposure: Relevance to Ethanol Sensitivity and Alcohol Use Disorders Risk
Neuroactive steroids may affect the risk and treatment of alcohol use disorders.
research The potential involvement of cholinergic system in finasteride induced cognitive dysfunction
Finasteride might affect memory by impacting cholinergic system.
research Finasteride-induced depression: new insights into possible pathomechanisms
Finasteride may increase depression by reducing brain cell growth.
research Effect of the allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron on spike-wave discharges in the EEG of absence epilepsy rat models
The steroids allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron worsened absence seizures in rats.

research Simulative Evaluation of Taurine Against Alopecia Caused by Stress in Caenorhabditis elegans
Taurine might help prevent hair loss caused by stress.
research Steroid Sulfatase: Molecular Biology, Regulation, and Inhibition
The enzyme steroid sulfatase is linked to breast cancer and other conditions, and inhibitors are being developed for treatment.
research Adverse Side Effects of 5α‐Reductase Inhibitors Therapy: Persistent Diminished Libido and Erectile Dysfunction and Depression in a Subset of Patients
Some patients taking finasteride or dutasteride may have ongoing sexual problems and depression even after stopping the medication.
research A New Look at the 5?-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
research TRP Channels in Skin Biology and Pathophysiology
TRP channels in the skin are important for sensation and health, and targeting them could help treat skin disorders.

Some hormone-related drugs may protect brain cells in Parkinson's disease differently in men and women.
research Dutasteride reduces alcohol’s sedative effects in men in a human laboratory setting and reduces drinking in the natural environment
Dutasteride makes alcohol less sedating and may lead to less drinking in men.
research Hedonic sensitivity to natural rewards is affected by prenatal stress in a sex-dependent manner
Prenatal stress changes how male and female rats enjoy rewards differently, linked to sex hormones.
research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites
