research Androgenic Effects on Ventricular Repolarization
ADT, especially enzalutamide, may increase the risk of heart rhythm problems and sudden death in men.
research Relating neurosteroid modulation of inhibitory neurotransmission to behaviour
Neurosteroids can influence behavior by modulating brain inhibition, with potential for treating psychiatric disorders.
research A summary of in vitro, phase I, and phase II studies evaluating the mechanism of action, safety, and efficacy of clascoterone (cortexolone 17a propionate, CB-03-01) in androgenetic alopecia
Clascoterone safely promotes hair growth similar to minoxidil.
research [Two drugs have a better outcome. Finasteride plus alpha blocker improves urine flow].
research Azasteroids as inhibitors of testosterone 5α-reductase in mammalian skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
research Comparison of flutamide and spironolactone in the treatment of hirsutism: a randomized controlled trial
Flutamide is more effective and has fewer side effects than spironolactone for treating hirsutism.
research Steroid inhibitors of androgen-potentiated actions on skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research Depletion of cortical allopregnanolone potentiates stress-induced increase in cortical dopamine output
Lower allopregnanolone levels increase stress-related dopamine release in the brain.
research Alpha-blockers/finasteride: no benefit in ED
research Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Effects of Testosterone on the Expression of Connexin 26 and Connexin 43 in the Uterus of Rats During Early Pregnancy
Testosterone changes important cell communication proteins in pregnant rats' uteruses, which might affect pregnancy success.
research Effection of Epristeride and Finasteride on Spermatogenesis in Male Rats
Finasteride reduces sperm count and affects male reproductive function, while Epristeride does not.
research Differential cardiometabolic outcomes of leuprolide versus spironolactone in women with polycystic ovary syndrome
Leuprolide may better manage cholesterol and blood pressure in PCOS than spironolactone.
research 5 Alpha-reductase inhibitors: whatʼs new?
A new drug, dutasteride, is at least as effective as the older drug, finasteride, for treating enlarged prostate and may have additional uses.
research BH02 Reversibility of 5-alpha reductase inhibitor effects on semen parameters: a review of human evidence
Finasteride mildly affects semen but is reversible; dutasteride has stronger effects with incomplete recovery.
research SIMULTANEOUS ESTIMATION OF MINOXIDIL AND FINASTERIDE BY RP-HPLC IN PRESENCE OF SOY LECITHIN EXCIPIENT IN THE LOTION DOSAGE FORM
research Dermatological medications and local therapeutics
Use some skin medications with caution during pregnancy; avoid strong steroids, certain eczema treatments, and systemic retinoids, but many topical treatments and nasal sprays are safe.
research Proxalutamide Reduction of Mortality Rate in Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients Depends on Treatment Duration – an Exploratory Analysis of the Proxa-Rescue AndroCoV Trial
Completing a 14-day proxalutamide treatment significantly lowers death rates in hospitalized COVID-19 patients.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
