Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Neuroactive steroid levels and psychiatric and andrological features in post-finasteride patients
Post-finasteride patients show changed neuroactive steroid levels, possibly causing erectile dysfunction and depression.
research Association of Surgical Risk With Exogenous Hormone Use in Transgender Patients

research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
Finasteride treatment in male rats causes long-lasting effects on depression-like behavior, brain cell growth, inflammation, and gut bacteria composition.
research Finasteride Treatment Inhibits Adult Hippocampal Neurogenesis in Male Mice
Finasteride reduces new brain cells in male mice, possibly causing depression.
research Persistent Sexual and Nonsexual Adverse Effects of Finasteride in Younger Men
Finasteride can cause sexual problems and depression in young men.
research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research 5α‐Reductase inhibitors and prostatic disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research The Steroidogenesis Inhibitor Finasteride Reduces the Response to Both Stressful and Rewarding Stimuli
