Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research Finasteride inhibits melanogenesis through regulation of the adenylate cyclase in melanocytes and melanoma cells
Finasteride reduces melanin production, possibly treating hyperpigmentation and melanoma, but needs more safety research.
research Is there a role for 5α‐reductase inhibitors in transgender individuals?
5α-reductase inhibitors like finasteride may not be effective or safe for transgender individuals, and more research is needed.
research Effect of the allopregnanolone and allotetrahydrodeoxycorticosteron on spike-wave discharges in the EEG of absence epilepsy rat models

research Interventions for central serous chorioretinopathy: a network meta-analysis
The study aims to find the best treatment for central serous chorioretinopathy by comparing various options.
research The modern management of hirsutism
Effective hirsutism management requires identifying the cause, combining new and traditional treatments, and setting realistic expectations for patients.
research Helpful diagnostic markers of steroidogenesis for defining hyperandrogenemia in hirsute women
The study concluded that androstendione and DHEA are important for diagnosing high male hormone levels in women with excessive hair growth.
research Comparison of spironolactone and spironolactone plus metformin in the treatment of polycystic ovary syndrome
Both treatments reduced excessive hair growth in PCOS, but there was no difference in weight, hair score, hormone levels, or insulin resistance.
research Hirsutism
