research Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel unsaturated carboxysteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A legitimate approach
New steroid compounds effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and may treat hair loss.
research Synthesis of mimics of steroid A ring as potential enzyme inhibitors
Mimicking the steroid A-ring may help create effective enzyme inhibitors for prostate disease treatment.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Increase in formalin-induced tonic pain by 5alpha-reductase and aromatase inhibition in female rats
Inhibiting certain enzymes made female rats more sensitive to low-level pain.
research Sexual dimorphism of growth plate prehypertrophic and hypertrophic chondrocytes in response to testosterone requires metabolism to dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by steroid 5‐alpha reductase type 1
Male cells need DHT to respond to testosterone, while female cells do not.
research Anti-SARS-CoV-2 Action of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors May Be Mediated by Dehydroepiandrosterone. Letter.
Certain drugs like Dutasteride and Finasteride might help fight SARS-CoV-2 by increasing levels of a steroid called DHEA, which can protect the heart and increase nitric oxide to counteract the virus.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research 5-alpha reductase inhibitors: New evidences on benefits and harms beyond benign prostatic hyperplasia
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may have additional effects on cancer, mental health, heart health, and hormone levels beyond treating prostate enlargement.
research 5 alpha-reductase inhibition by a new synthetic steroid (PM-9) in cultures of Penicillium crustosum.
PM-9, like finasteride, may help treat certain diseases by blocking a key enzyme.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitor.
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Steroid Hormones
Steroid hormones are crucial for body functions and have various medical uses, but their misuse can lead to dependence.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Steroidogenesis inhibitors alter but do not eliminate androgen synthesis mechanisms during progression to castration-resistance in LNCaP prostate xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research Steroid 5α-reductase inhibition by polymethoxyflavones
Certain natural compounds can block an enzyme linked to prostate enlargement and hair loss, showing potential for new treatments.
research Finasteride treatment and neuroactive steroid formation.
Finasteride treatment can decrease certain steroids and increase others, possibly leading to depression symptoms in some cases.
research GhDET2, a steroid 5α‐reductase, plays an important role in cotton fiber cell initiation and elongation
GhDET2 is crucial for cotton fiber growth.
research Chemical agents and peptides affect hair growth
Certain chemicals and peptides can promote hair growth or prevent baldness.
research Kemoterapinin En Görünen Yönü: Alopesi: Önlemek Mümkün Mü?
No method fully prevents hair loss from chemotherapy, but some methods can reduce it and improve quality of life.
research Testosterone metabolite nonessential for androgen effects
The body's change of testosterone into DHT is not necessary for testosterone's muscle and sexual effects.
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 Medical therapy for frontal fibrosing alopecia: A review and clinical approach
Some treatments like intralesional steroids and 5α-reductase inhibitors are effective for frontal fibrosing alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Acne
Hormonal treatments can help with acne, especially in women, by lowering androgen levels or blocking their effects.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia: a case series of 65 patients seen in a single Italian centre
The study concluded that severity of Frontal fibrosing alopecia is not linked to how long someone has it, can start before menopause, and eyebrow loss may be an early sign.
research Alopecia fibrosante frontal
Frontal fibrosing alopecia causes hairline recession and eyebrow loss in postmenopausal women.
research Treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia and lichen planopilaris: a systematic review
No effective treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia was found, but oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors had the best response; for lichen planopilaris, topical corticosteroids were commonly used but had a high relapse rate.
research Frontal fibrosing alopecia
Hormonal imbalances may play a role in frontal fibrosing alopecia, and antiandrogenic drugs combined with steroids are currently the most effective treatment.
research Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia – a review and a practical guide for clinicians
The article concludes that understanding Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia (FFA) is crucial for effective treatment, which includes medication like 5α-reductase inhibitors and hydroxychloroquine.
research ダブルストロボレンジファインダの開発(特別講演)(画像センシングおよび一般)
Some prostate cancers have gene changes that may affect treatment with certain drugs.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
