research Effects of dihydrotestosterone on rat dermal papilla cells in vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
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 A new label-free screen for steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage—Animal, Experimental Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research In Vitro Performance of Dutasteride-Nanostructured Lipid Carriers Coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan Oligomer for Dermal Delivery
Dutasteride-loaded nanoparticles coated with Lauric Acid-Chitosan show promise for treating hair loss due to their controlled release, low toxicity, and potential to stimulate hair growth.
research Women with alopecia exhibit a higher risk for thyroid cancer: A nationwide cohort study
Women with alopecia may have a higher chance of getting thyroid cancer.

research Finasteride and Methadone Use and Risk of Advanced Hepatitis C Related Liver Disease
Finasteride and methadone don't increase advanced liver disease risk in HCV+ male veterans.
research The evaluation and treatment of androgen excess
High androgen levels can cause excessive hair growth and may indicate serious health issues, including heart disease and fertility problems.
research Drug Repurposing in Dermatology: Molecular Biology and Omics Approach
Old drugs like finasteride and spironolactone are being successfully used for hair loss and skin conditions, and many other drugs show promise for new uses in dermatology.
