research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
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 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 Emerging medication for the treatment of male hypogonadism
New treatments for male hypogonadism are effective and should be personalized.
research Diagnosis of hyperandrogenism: Biochemical criteria
The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research Comparison of finasteride versus flutamide in the treatment of hirsutism
Finasteride is a safe, effective treatment for hirsutism with fewer side effects.
research Biochemical Roles of Testosterone and Epitestosterone to 5α-Reductase as Indicators of Male-Pattern Baldness
High testosterone to epitestosterone ratio in hair could predict male-pattern baldness.
research Efficacy of Topical Combination of 0.25% Finasteride and 3% Minoxidil Versus 3% Minoxidil Solution in Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Controlled Study
Combination of 0.25% finasteride and 3% minoxidil works better than just 3% minoxidil for increasing hair thickness in women.
research The Effects of Ficus carica on Male and Female Reproductive Capabilities in Rats
Ficus carica extract improved fertility in rats and may help with certain health conditions.
research A curvilinear relationship between hair loss and mental rotation and neuroticism: a possible influence of sustained dihydrotestosterone production
Men with moderate hair loss had the best spatial thinking, and long-term DHT might affect cognition.
research Cosmeceuticals
Isotretinoin and tazarotene help treat acne, while minoxidil and finasteride promote hair growth.
research Ketoconazole Therapy for Women with Acne and/or Hirsutism
Ketoconazole reduced hair growth and improved acne in women, but caused side effects needing careful monitoring.
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 Inhibition of the Androgen Receptor by Antisense Oligonucleotides Regulates the Biological Activity of Androgens in SZ95 Sebocytes
Blocking the androgen receptor in skin cells reduces their growth response to male hormones, suggesting a possible treatment for skin conditions linked to androgens.
research Contribution of androgens to chronic allograft nephropathy is mediated by dihydrotestosterone
Male hormones worsen kidney transplant damage, but blocking them helps.
research A role for steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in vascular remodeling during endometrial decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research The relation between androgenetic thin hair diagnosed by trichoscope and benign prostatic hyperplasia
Men with thinner hair from genetic hair loss may be more likely to have an enlarged prostate.
research The effect of finasteride on the male rat brain
Finasteride affects the male rat brain by reducing certain protein activation, but these effects may reverse after stopping the drug.
research Cloning, computational analysis and expression profiling of steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 (SRD5A1) gene during reproductive phases and ovatide stimulation in endangered catfish, Clarias magur
The research identified and described a gene important for hormone conversion in endangered catfish, which varies in activity during different reproductive stages and after hormone treatment.
research A Role for Steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in Vascular Remodelling During Endometrial Decidualisation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is important for proper blood vessel development during the fertility-related transformation of the uterus lining.
research Impact of 6-month course of 1 mg finasteride tablets on levels of lipid profile in men with androgenic alopecia
Taking 1mg finasteride tablets for 6 months can lower good cholesterol (HDL) and raise triglycerides in men with hair loss.
research Selected Abstracts
Parthenolide promotes hair growth in mice and may influence pathways related to male pattern baldness.
research A herbal formula, comprising Panax ginseng and bee-pollen, inhibits development of testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in male Wistar rats
A mix of Panax ginseng and bee-pollen may help prevent prostate enlargement in rats.
research Anti-inflammatory and anti-hyperplastic effect of Bazhengsan in a male rat model of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis
Bazhengsan reduces inflammation and tissue growth in chronic prostatitis.
research Finasteride-related Leydig cell tumour: report of a case and literature review
