research Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and may help with baldness, but effects on sexual function and male fetuses are unclear.
research Preventive and Therapeutic Efficacy of Finasteride and Dutasteride in TRAMP Mice
Dutasteride works better than finasteride for preventing and treating prostate cancer.
research TGF-β family signaling in stem cells
TGF-β signaling is crucial for stem cell maintenance, differentiation, and has implications for cancer treatment.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel unsaturated carboxysteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A legitimate approach

research Plasticity and Cytokinetic Dynamics of the Hair Follicle Mesenchyme During the Hair Growth Cycle: Implications for Growth Control and Hair Follicle Transformations
Disruptions in hair follicle fibroblast dynamics can cause hair growth problems.
research Significance of the polyglutamine tract polymorphism in the androgen receptor
The length of the CAG repeat in the androgen receptor gene affects the risk and progression of prostate cancer, BPH, infertility, and undermasculinized genitalia.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Safety aspects of androgen treatment with 5α-dihydrotestosterone

research Targeting a fibrotic bottleneck may provide an opening in the treatment of LUTS
New treatments targeting fibrosis could improve urinary symptoms in BPH.
research Impact of Finasteride on Serum PSA Levels in Men With BPH: A Systematic Review
Finasteride lowers PSA levels and prostate size, requiring adjusted PSA interpretation for accurate cancer screening.
research Evaluating Carthamus Oxyacantha For 5α-Reductase Inhibition: Therapeutic Perspectives In BPH
Carthamus oxyacantha may help treat BPH by inhibiting 5α-reductase.
research The Distribution of Estrogen Receptor β Is Distinct to That of Estrogen Receptor α and the Androgen Receptor in Human Skin and the Pilosebaceous Unit
Estrogen Receptor ß (ERß) is the main hormone controller in human skin and hair follicles, not Estrogen Receptor α (ERα) or the Androgen Receptor (AR).
research Pharmacology of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens affect androgen-dependent body functions and are used for various medical conditions, with some risks like fetus feminization, but new forms like 17α-propylmesterolone show promise for acne without systemic effects.
research Intracrinology and The Skin
DHEA stimulates skin oil glands and could help postmenopausal women, with potential for acne and excessive hair growth treatments.
research Expression of androgen receptor coactivator ARA70/ELE1 in androgenic alopecia
The protein ARA70/ELE1 is involved in male pattern baldness, and lower levels of its short form may lead to hair thinning.
research Immunocytochemical Localization of Androgen Receptors in the Scalp of the Stumptail Macaque Monkey, a Model of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen receptors found in monkey scalps, similar to humans, affect hair growth.
research The E6/E7 oncogenes of human papilloma virus and estradiol regulate hedgehog signaling activity in a murine model of cervical cancer
HPV genes and estradiol increase a cancer-related signaling pathway, which may be targeted for cervical cancer treatment.
research Immunopathogenesis of Primary Cicatricial Alopecia
Hair loss in Lichen Planopilaris is caused by immune system issues damaging hair follicles and stem cells.
research Decreased fertility in male rats administered the 5α-reductase inhibitor, finasteride, is due to deficits in copulatory plug formation
