A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
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 Control of androgen receptor expression in human keratinocytes and in a reconstituted human epidermis model with selective antisense oligonucleotides
Antisense oligonucleotides can reduce androgen receptor levels in skin cells, suggesting potential for treating skin disorders.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research 1406 DETECTION OF MEMBRANE ANDROGEN-BINDING SITE IN LIVING RAT PROSTATE AND EVALUATION OF ITS ROLE IN PROSTATE BLOOD FLOW REGULATION
The research found that androgens help control blood flow in the rat prostate through a specific binding site.
research Abstract A12: Androgen receptor inhibition is involved in Finasteride-reduced AML cell proliferation
Finasteride reduces AML cell growth by inhibiting androgen receptors.
research Mechanisms that regulate androgen receptor transcriptional activity
DHT enhances androgen receptor activity more than testosterone, and MAGE-11 influences this activity through specific interactions.
research Androgen Deprivation Therapy in Prostate Cancer: Focusing on Sexual Side Effects
Androgen Deprivation Therapy for prostate cancer often reduces sexual function but intermittent therapy may be more tolerable.
research Control of testosterone 5alpha-reductase activity in the human hyperplastic prostate
Inhibiting testosterone 5alpha-reductase may help treat benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Clinical applications of antiandrogens
Antiandrogens are effective for conditions like prostate cancer and skin issues, but more research is needed to confirm their benefits and minimize side effects.
research Inhibition of 5α Reductase Impairs Cognitive Performance, Alters Dendritic Morphology and Increases Tau Phosphorylation in the Hippocampus of Male 3xTg-AD Mice
Blocking 5α-reductase can harm memory and brain structure, and increase harmful brain changes in male mice used for Alzheimer's disease research.
research News & Notes
Loop diuretics may double bone loss in elderly men, finasteride lowers prostate cancer risk but may increase high-grade tumors, abarelix reduces testosterone quickly, and transdermal testosterone offers minimal sexual benefit for women.
research The Neurosteroidogenic Enzyme 5α-Reductase Mediates Psychotic-Like Complications of Sleep Deprivation
The enzyme 5α-reductase is key in causing psychotic-like effects from sleep deprivation.
research The Effect of Anti-Androgens on the Response of Rat Preputial Glands to Testosterone*
New compounds can block testosterone effects in rats and might help treat conditions like prostate cancer and acne.
research Disorders linked to insufficient androgen action in male children
Male children's genital development issues can be caused by genetic mutations or environmental factors affecting hormone action.
research A Narrowed Look Into Plant-Derived Testosterone 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Androgenetic Alopecia
Plant-based treatments might help with hair loss and have fewer side effects than synthetic drugs.
research 12 Treatment of hirsutism with 5α-reductase inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Synthesis and Evaluation of 2‘-Substituted 4-(4‘-Carboxy- or 4‘-carboxymethylbenzylidene)-N-acylpiperidines: Highly Potent and in Vivo Active Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 2 Inhibitors
Compounds 15, 20, and 25 are strong inhibitors of human steroid 5α-reductase type 2.
research Cardiovascular Toxicities of Androgen Deprivation Therapy
ADT for prostate cancer may harm the heart, but GnRH antagonists might be safer.
research Androgen Therapy in Women: A Reappraisal: An Endocrine Society Clinical Practice Guideline
The guidelines advise against using testosterone and DHEA in women for most conditions due to safety and effectiveness concerns, but suggest considering testosterone for postmenopausal women with low sexual desire.
research 5 Alpha - Reductase and Metabolic Syndrome in PCOS Patients
A higher testosterone/dihydrotestosterone ratio in PCOS patients may indicate worse metabolic health.
research Rational Design and Synthesis of 4-((1R,2R)-2-Hydroxycyclohexyl)-2(trifluoromethyl)benzonitrile (PF-998425), a Novel, Nonsteroidal Androgen Receptor Antagonist Devoid of Phototoxicity for Dermatological Indications
PF-998425 is a new, effective, and non-phototoxic treatment for skin conditions related to androgens.
research In Silico Screening of DrugBank Compounds as Potential Inhibitors for Human Steroid 5α-Reductase 2 for Androgen-Related Diseases
Stiripentol shows promise as a potential treatment for androgen-related diseases but needs more testing.
research Women Also Use 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Women also use 5α-reductase inhibitors for hair loss and hirsutism.
