research Urinary steroids in men with male-pattern alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research 5α-reductase activity in the prostate
Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.
research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin
The study found that the enzyme linked to acne is present in the same areas of both acne-affected and normal skin.
research 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors and Combination Therapy
Finasteride and dutasteride are effective for long-term treatment of enlarged prostates but have sexual side effects and a risk of high-grade prostate cancer.
research Kinetic analysis of LY320236: competitive inhibitor of type I and non-competitive inhibitor of type II human steroid 5α-reductase
LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research The influence of low dose finasteride, a type II 5α-reductase inhibitor, on circulating neuroactive steroids
Low dose finasteride decreases certain steroids, possibly increasing depression risk.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5.ALPHA.-Reductase Inhibitors.
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
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 Sebocytes are the Key Regulators of Androgen Homeostasis in Human Skin
Sebocytes play a key role in controlling androgen levels in human skin.
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.
![Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of 8-Substituted Benzo[ƒ]Quinolinones Derived from Palladium Mediated Coupling Reactions](/images/research/2aedba8c-b0ac-4fa3-9ac7-9f375a016bba/small/15581.jpg)
research Synthesis and 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of 8-substituted benzo[ƒ]quinolinones derived from palladium mediated coupling reactions
Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.
research Modulating testosterone pathway: a new strategy to tackle male skin aging?
Honokiol might help reduce male skin aging by maintaining testosterone levels.
research Extract of Plumbago zeylanica enhances the growth of hair follicle dermal papilla cells with down‐regulation of 5α‐reductase type II
Plumbago zeylanica extract helps hair growth and reduces a hair loss-related enzyme.
research Effects of finasteride, a type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitor, on fetal development in the rhesus monkey (Macaca mulatta)
Finasteride, when given in high oral doses to pregnant monkeys, caused genital abnormalities in male fetuses, but not in female fetuses or those exposed to intravenous finasteride.
research Use of 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors in Dermatology: A Narrative Review
5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors are effective for male hair loss and some skin conditions, but their effectiveness in women and safety concerns require careful use.
research FRI-02 FROM GIRLS TO BOYS TO OLDER MEN, THE INTERESTING TALE OF THE GUEVEDOCES AND 5-ALPHA REDUCTASE INHIBITORS
The discovery of 5α-reductase deficiency in guevedoces led to the development of important urologic medications.
