600-630 / 1000+ results research Three Considerations Before Advising 5-α-Reductase Inhibitors for Chemoprevention
5-α-reductase inhibitors don't prevent prostate cancer but may reduce unnecessary biopsies.
research Synthesis and structure–activity investigation of iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins for development as androgen receptor radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Combined analysis of two multicenter studies of finasteride 5 mg in the treatment of symptomatic benign prostatic hyperplasia
Finasteride 5 mg effectively reduces urinary symptoms and PSA levels in men with enlarged prostates, with few sexual side effects.
research Case-Only Trees and Random Forests for Exploring Genotype-Specific Treatment Effects in Randomized Clinical Trials with Dichotomous End Points
Case-only trees and random forests improve predictions of treatment effects in clinical trials.
research Homology Modeling of 5-alpha-Reductase 2 Using Available Experimental Data
Accurate protein modeling can help develop new treatments for prostate cancer and other diseases.
research Physiological and histological study of the effect of finasteride drug (Prostacare) on the fertility of albino male rats
Finasteride significantly reduces fertility in male rats.
research Inhibitory effects of TripTripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside on benign prostatic hyperplasia in rats
Tripterygium wilfordii multiglycoside effectively reduced prostate enlargement in rats without harmful effects.
research What are the possible reasons for urethral PSA varieties after radical prostatectomy?
Higher urethral PSA levels after prostate removal may be linked to more scalp hair loss and more PSA in urethral glands.
research Is Dihydrotestosterone a Classic Hormone?
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) mainly affects nearby cells, doesn't significantly change prostate hormonal environment or cancer risk, and doesn't play a main role in causing hair loss or acne. More research is needed on its effects on heart health, sexual function, and bone health.
research Prostatic irradiation-induced sexual dysfunction: A review and multidisciplinary guide to management in the radical radiotherapy era (Part III on Psychosexual Therapy and the Masculine Self-Esteem)
Prostate cancer patients need early psychological and sexual support during radiotherapy to improve their quality of life.
research Risk of Depression after 5 Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Medication: Meta-Analysis
Taking 5 alpha reductase inhibitor medication slightly increases the risk of depression, especially as you get older.
research The Effect of Leonuri Herba alkaloids on Senile BPH (male and female hormone induced) model rats
Leonuri Herba alkaloids may help treat hormone-induced enlarged prostate in rats.
research Clinical effects and economical impact of dutasteride and finasteride therapy in Italian men with LUTS
Dutasteride reduces hospitalization and prostate cancer risk compared to finasteride, potentially offsetting its higher cost.
research Gleason grading controversies: what the chemoprevention trials have taught us
Finasteride reduces prostate cancer risk by 30% without affecting Gleason scores.
research Off-label prescriptions: patient safety first
Off-label drug use can be risky and requires careful consideration to ensure patient safety.
research Alopecia: the case for medical necessity.
Alopecia should be treated as a medical condition because it may increase the risk of serious diseases and psychological issues.
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens influence on COVID-19 disease in men
Male hormones may make COVID-19 worse, while substances that block these hormones could lessen symptoms.
research Germacrene Analogs are Anti-androgenic on Androgen-dependent Cells
Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.
research Is there a relationship between androgenic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia?
There's no link between hair loss type androgenic alopecia and benign prostatic hyperplasia, but early hair loss and family history can mean more severe alopecia.
research 5ARIs and PSA: Evidences
5ARIs lower PSA levels, but other tests are needed to avoid missing aggressive prostate cancer.
research Role of 5α-reductase inhibitors in androgen-stimulated skin disorders.
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride can help treat skin disorders stimulated by androgens, such as hair loss and acne.
research Novel Missense Mutation in the P-Box of Androgen Receptor in a Patient with Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome
A new mutation linked to partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome and prostate cancer was found in a patient unhappy with their female gender assignment.
research Doxazosin and finasteride alone or in combination: the PREDICT study
Doxazosin alone or combined with finasteride improves prostate symptoms better than finasteride alone, without extra benefits.
research Effect of finasteride and/or terazosin on serum PSA: Results of VA cooperative study #359
Finasteride reduces PSA levels, terazosin doesn't affect them, and tracking prostate cancer in patients taking finasteride could be difficult.
research GYNECOMASTIA AFTER FINASTERIDE THERAPY
Finasteride may cause breast enlargement, low testosterone a risk factor.
research Scientific Evaluation of A Unani Pharmacopoeia-Based Formulation on BPH in Animal Model
The Unani Pharmacopoeia-Based Formulation significantly improved symptoms of enlarged prostate in rats.
research Connarus semidecandrus Jack Exerts Anti-Alopecia Effects by Targeting 5α-Reductase Activity and an Intrinsic Apoptotic Pathway
Connarus semidecandrus Jack extract promotes hair growth and thickness, reduces prostate cancer cell growth, and could potentially be used as a treatment for hair loss.
research Reply to the Letter to the Editor “Androgen deprivation therapy may constitute a more effective prophylactic than therapeutic strategy in COVID-19 patients” by N. Bennani and I. M. Bennani-Baiti
Androgen deprivation therapy might help prevent severe COVID-19, but more research is needed.
