research The genetics of androgenetic alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Skin steroidogenesis in health and disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research The biology of hair diversity
Hair diversity is influenced by complex genetics and environmental factors, requiring more research for practical solutions.
research Inhibition of Human Steroid 5β-Reductase (AKR1D1) by Finasteride and Structure of the Enzyme-Inhibitor Complex
Finasteride helps treat hair loss and prostate enlargement by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Regulation of masculinization: androgen signalling for external genitalia development
Male genital development is driven by androgen signaling and understanding it could help address congenital anomalies.
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 Genetics and other factors in the aetiology of female pattern hair loss
Female pattern hair loss has unclear causes, possibly involving genetics, hormones, and environment, and needs better treatments.
research Male pattern baldness: current treatments, future prospects
Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.

5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.
research Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway that Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
research Assessment of the usefulness of dihydrotestosterone in the diagnostics of patients with androgenetic alopecia
DHT's role in hair loss is important, but measuring its level for diagnosis is questionable.
research Side Effects of 5‐Alpha Reductase Inhibitors: A Comprehensive Review
5-alpha reductase inhibitors slightly increase the risk of sexual and mood side effects, and breast growth in men.
research Androgens in women
Hormone treatments can help with women's skin and hair disorders, but they need careful monitoring and more research.
research Divergent neuroactive steroid responses to stress and ethanol in rat and mouse strains: relevance for human studies
Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research HSD3B1 Genotypes Conferring Adrenal-Restrictive and Adrenal-Permissive Phenotypes in Prostate Cancer and Beyond
Certain HSD3B1 gene types are linked to worse prostate cancer outcomes and affect treatment response and other health conditions.
research In silico prediction of prostaglandin D2 synthase inhibitors from herbal constituents for the treatment of hair loss
Herbal compounds like ricinoleic acid, quercetin-3-O-rutinoside, and hinokiflavone may be safe and effective for treating hair loss.
research Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors: population based cohort study
Men taking dutasteride or finasteride have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Microneedles mediated bioinspired lipid nanocarriers for targeted treatment of alopecia
A new hair loss treatment uses tiny needles to deliver a drug-loaded lipid carrier, promoting hair growth more effectively than current treatments.
research Exercise activates the PI3K-AKT signal pathway by decreasing the expression of 5α-reductase type 1 in PCOS rats
Exercise improves insulin sensitivity and hormone regulation in PCOS rats.
