Dihydrotestosterone gel improved well-being and sexual function in older men without negatively affecting prostate health.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness
Male pattern baldness is mostly inherited, involves many genes, and is linked to other traits like early puberty and strong bones.
research Steroidal 5α-reductase and 17α-hydroxylase/17,20-lyase (CYP17) inhibitors useful in the treatment of prostatic diseases
Certain drugs that block specific enzymes can help treat prostate diseases.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research A powerful method for pleiotropic analysis under composite null hypothesis identifies novel shared loci between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer
New method finds genetic links between Type 2 Diabetes and Prostate Cancer not seen before.
research Prevalence of metabolic syndrome and its components among men with and without clinical benign prostatic hyperplasia: a large, cross-sectional, UK epidemiological study
Men with benign prostatic hyperplasia are more likely to have metabolic syndrome than those without it.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research The prostaglandin synthases, COX-2 and L-PGDS, mediate prostate hyperplasia induced by low-dose bisphenol A
Low-dose bisphenol A increases prostate size in rats by affecting certain enzymes.
research Corn silk extract improves benign prostatic hyperplasia in experimental rat model
