Steroid hormones change the size, charge, and stability of DPPC liposomes.
research Experimental Evaluation of 3-meta-Pyridine-1,2,4-Oxadiazole Derivative of Deoxycholic Acid as a Prototype of 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors in In Silico and In Vivo Models
The new compound may be a safer alternative to finasteride for prostate protection.
research Androgenic and anti-androgenic effects of progesterone derivatives with different halogens as substituents at the C-6 position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research In vitro and In vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-phenylcarbamoyl) androst-4-en-3- one Derivatives as 5a-reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Pharmacology of different progestogens: the special case of drospirenone
Drospirenone is a unique progestin with anti-water retention and potential blood pressure benefits, used in birth control and hormone therapy.
research New agents for cancer chemoprevention
Over 30 potential cancer prevention treatments are being tested, with some showing promise in early research.
research Antiulcer drugs
The document concludes that H2-antagonists and proton pump inhibitors are highly effective for ulcers, eradicating Helicobacter pylori is important to prevent recurrence, and misoprostol helps with NSAID-related ulcers.
research Medikamentöse Therapie des benignen Prostatasyndroms (BPS)
Combination drug therapies are more effective for high-risk BPS patients but have more side effects and costs.
research Distinct Developmental Functions of Prostasin (CAP1/PRSS8) Zymogen and Activated Prostasin
Prostasin has two roles in skin: one for normal skin development without needing activation, and another for proper hair growth that requires activation.
research A new method for synthesis of finasteride
A new, safer method to make finasteride from progesterone is effective for industrial use.
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 Non-Steroidal Modulation of the 5-Alpha Reductase Axis: A Dual Therapeutic Strategy for Prostatic Chemoprevention and Androgenetic Alopecia

research Ruolo dei neurosteroidi nella modulazione dopaminergica
Neurosteroids help control dopamine responses in the brain.
research Differential expression of steroid 5α-reductase isozymes and association with disease severity and angiogenic genes predict their biological role in prostate cancer
SRD5A1 is crucial in advanced prostate cancer, and blocking both SRD5A1 and SRD5A2 is more effective than targeting SRD5A2 alone.
research Faculty Opinions recommendation of Prostaglandin D2 inhibits hair growth and is elevated in bald scalp of men with androgenetic alopecia.
Prostaglandin D2, found in higher levels in bald scalps, stops hair growth and could be a target for treating hair loss.
research Abstract SS02-02: Chemoprevention: Poised for Success
Chemoprevention can significantly lower cancer risks and needs more research and collaboration.
