research Effect of androgen on VEGF and VEGFR-2(FLK-1/KDR) expression in rat corpus cavernous
Androgen increases VEGF expression but not VEGFR-2 in rat corpus cavernous.
research Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors: population based cohort study
Men taking dutasteride or finasteride have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research Efficacy and Safety of Finasteride Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride helps improve hair growth in men with hair loss but may increase the risk of erectile dysfunction.
research Finasteride reduces the preventive effect of uroselective α1A-blockers against cancellous bone disorders induced by androgen deficiency in rats
Finasteride weakens the bone-protective effects of certain blockers in low androgen conditions.
research Estrogen and androgen signaling in the pathogenesis of BPH
Hormonal interactions, especially involving DHT and estrogen, play a key role in BPH development and treatment.
research Simultaneous Estimation of Finasteride and Tamsulosin Hydrochloride in Combined Dosage Forms by RP-HPLC-PDA Method

research Effects of prasugrel versus clopidogrel on coronary microvascular function in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention: A randomized double-blind study
Prasugrel is better than clopidogrel at preventing heart damage and improving blood flow in small heart vessels during heart artery procedures.
research 133 Grey-Scale Penile Ultrasound Findings in Young Men with Erectile Dysfunction (ED) Who Used Finasteride for Androgenic Alopecia: A Retrospective Review
Finasteride for hair loss can cause erectile dysfunction due to tissue fibrosis.
research Optimizing finasteride chemoprevention
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research Pharmacokinetic Interaction between Finasteride and Terazosin, but not Finasteride and Doxazosin
Finasteride interacts with terazosin, but not doxazosin; caution needed.
research [Two drugs have a better outcome. Finasteride plus alpha blocker improves urine flow].
research Progesterone-induced stimulation of mammary tumorigenesis is due to the progesterone metabolite, 5α-dihydroprogesterone (5αP) and can be suppressed by the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research 5-alpha reductase inhibitors use in prostatic disease and beyond
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, are used for prostate issues, hair loss, and excessive hair growth, may help with COVID-19, but can cause sexual and mental health side effects, and their use in preventing prostate cancer needs more examination.
research Adverse events with finasteride or dutasteride: FAERS
Lower finasteride doses had more side effects; dutasteride caused back pain; more research needed on post-finasteride syndrome.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
