research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene.
The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.
research Effects of in Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in the Male Rat
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research The Effects of Transdermal Dihydrotestosterone in the Aging Male: A Prospective, Randomized, Double Blind Study

research Urinary Retention in Patients with BPH Treated with Finasteride or Placebo over 4 Years
Finasteride lowers risk of urinary issues and surgery by over 50% in 4 years.
research CHRONIC TREATMENT WITH FINASTERIDE DAILY DOES NOT AFFECT SPERMATOGENESIS OR SEMEN PRODUCTION IN YOUNG MEN
Finasteride doesn't harm male fertility or sperm quality, but may slightly reduce ejaculate volume.
research 9 Role of 5α-reductase in health and disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
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 Testosterone Supplementation for Aging-Associated Sarcopenia
Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.
research Association of Suicidality and Depression With 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Men over 66 taking medication for prostate enlargement have a higher risk of depression and self-harm, especially in the first 18 months of treatment.
research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Relationships of the First Ferrocenyl-Aryl-Hydantoin Derivatives of the Nonsteroidal Antiandrogen Nilutamide
Scientists made the first metal-based compounds from a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug, which showed potential in fighting both hormone-dependent and independent prostate cancer cells.
research Critical Developmental Periods for Effects on Male Rat Genitalia Induced by Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride affects male rat genitalia development, causing abnormalities during specific pregnancy days.
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 Effects of finasteride in patients with inflammatory chronic pelvic pain syndrome: a double-blind, placebo-controlled, pilot study
Finasteride didn't significantly improve ICPPS symptoms, more research needed.
research Pre-receptor regulation of the androgen receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
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 BIOLOGICAL ACTIVITY OF ANTIANDROGENS
Antiandrogens may help treat conditions like excessive hair growth, prostate tumors, male baldness, and acne by blocking male hormone effects.
research Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Tamoxifen for flutamide/finasteride-induced gynecomastia

research 5α-Reduced glucocorticoids: a story of natural selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Acute urinary retention: risks and management.
Older men with severe symptoms and larger prostates should focus on prevention, using finasteride and alpha-blockers to manage acute urinary retention.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Anabolic effects of testosterone are preserved during inhibition of 5α-reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
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.
