Research
780-810 / 1000+ results research Anabolic effects of testosterone are preserved during inhibition of 5α-reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
research 5α-Reductase inhibitors, antiviral and anti-tumor activities of some steroidal cyanopyridinone derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
research Assessment of the Chemical Profile and Potential Medical Effects of a Flavonoid-Rich Extract of Eclipta prostrata L. Collected in the Central Highlands of Vietnam
Eclipta prostrata extract may help with memory and diabetes due to its antioxidant and enzyme-inhibiting properties.
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 Simultaneous Target-Mediated Drug Disposition-Pharmacodynamic (TMDD-PD) Modeling of Finasteride and Dutasteride: Impact of Target Binding and Turnover on Non-linear Pharmacokinetics
Finasteride and dutasteride's effects are mainly due to target binding saturation and slow enzyme turnover.
research Vitamin D metabolism and function in the skin
Skin cells produce and activate vitamin D, which regulates skin functions and supports hair growth.
research Androgens and androgen receptor action in skin and hair follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research Clinical Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics of Finasteride
Finasteride helps regrow hair and shrink prostate by reducing DHT, with some sexual side effects.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Congenital adrenal hyperplasia
The document concludes that diagnosing and treating Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia is complex and requires a team approach due to its effects on the skin and other symptoms.
research Discovery of a novel hybrid from finasteride and epristeride as 5α-reductase inhibitor
New hybrid compound found to effectively prevent hair loss.
research A Review on Steroidal 5α-Reductase Inhibitors for Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed, some of which may be more effective than current medications.
research Early embryonic exposure of freshwater gastropods to pharmaceutical 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors results in a surprising open-coiled “banana-shaped” shell
Certain drugs change freshwater snail shells to a "banana" shape.
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 Virilism and Ectopic Expression of HSD17B5 in Mature Cystic Teratoma
A woman's mature cystic teratoma caused her virilization by producing testosterone.
research Vitamin D and Skin: An Review and Update
Vitamin D is important for skin health and can help treat and prevent various skin conditions.
research A Platform for Determining Medicinal Plants with Targeted 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase Modulation for Possible Hair Loss Prevention
The conclusion is that new plant-based treatments for hair loss may work by targeting certain enzymes.
research Exploring the Potential of Eclipta alba: A Promising Approach for Hair Treatment Management through 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibition
Eclipta alba extract could be a promising natural treatment for hair loss.
research In Search of Predictive Models for Inhibitors of 5-alpha Reductase 2 Based on the Integration of Bioactivity and Molecular Descriptors Data.
The models can help find better inhibitors for conditions like baldness and prostate disorders.
research Mechanistic synergy of hair growth promotion by the Avicennia marina extract and its active constituent (avicequinone C) in dermal papilla cells isolated from androgenic alopecia patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Murine skin as a target for melatonin bioregulation
Melatonin affects mouse skin and may regulate skin functions.
research Mechanism of action of androgen in hair follicles
Testosterone affects hair follicles differently across body sites, with beard hair follicles showing more activity of a specific enzyme and presence of androgen receptors compared to scalp hair.
research Design and Validation of a Sensitive Multisteroid LC-MS/MS Assay for the Routine Clinical Use: One-Step Sample Preparation with Phospholipid Removal and Comparison to Immunoassays
The new LC-MS/MS method is more accurate and reliable than traditional immunoassays for measuring steroids in serum.
research Herbal Hair Gel Formulation having 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity and its Standardization by HPTLC
The herbal hair gel could be a safe hair growth treatment with minimal side effects.
research Surgical Treatment of Vitiligo
Surgery can help treat vitiligo when other treatments don't work.
research High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of the enantiomers of the benzoquinolinone LY 191704, a human type 1 5α-reductase inhibitor, in plasma
