The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene.
The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.
research 17beta Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Type 3 Inhibitors
The document's conclusion cannot be provided because the document is not available or cannot be read.
research Characterization of recombinant human liver dehydroepiandrosterone sulfotransferase with minoxidil as the substrate

research Adrenal 21-hydroxylase gene mutations in Slovenian hyperandrogenic women: evaluation of corticotrophin stimulation and HLA polymorphisms in screening for carrier status
The study concluded that testing hormone levels after stimulation is not reliable for identifying carriers of 21-hydroxylase deficiency; genetic testing is necessary.
research 5α-Reductase Type 2 Regulates Glucocorticoid Action and Metabolic Phenotype in Human Hepatocytes
Manipulating 5α-reductase type 2 can affect liver fat production and glucocorticoid effects.
research Cloning of the human phenol sulfotransferase gene family: three genes implicated in the metabolism of catecholamines, thyroid hormones and drugs
Scientists identified three genes important for processing certain brain chemicals, thyroid hormones, and medications.
research Mechanisms of testosterone action
Testosterone works in different ways, including direct interaction with its receptor, conversion to other hormones for specific effects on genitalia, hair, bones, and muscle, and changes in body fat and sexual function when low.
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 Design, synthesis and structure-activity relationships studies on steroidal aromatase and 5α-reductase inhibitors as anti-tumors
Modified steroidal inhibitors showed promise in treating hormone-dependent cancers.
