research Influence of sex and functional status on the value of serum steroid profiling in discriminating adrenocortical carcinoma from adrenocortical adenoma
Serum steroid profiling, especially 11-deoxycortisol, helps distinguish between adrenocortical carcinoma and adenoma, considering sex and functional status.
research A role for steroid 5 alpha-reductase 1 in vascular remodeling during endometrial decidualization
The enzyme 5α-reductase type 1 is important for blood vessel development and fertility in the uterus.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with anti-androgen drug finasteride
The research helps understand how finasteride works and aids drug development.
research Effect of perfluorooctanesulfonate exposure on steroid hormone levels and steroidogenic enzyme activities in juvenile Silurana tropicalis
PFOS exposure disrupts hormone levels and enzyme activities in juvenile frogs, affecting males and females differently.
research Intraethnic variation in steroid-5-alpha-reductase polymorphisms in prostate cancer patients: a potential factor implicated in 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Steroid inhibitors of androgen-potentiated actions on skin
Certain hormones can reduce skin oil and hair growth, potentially helping treat acne and excessive hair in women.
research Steroid Therapy in Alopecia Universalis
Prednisolone can quickly regrow hair in alopecia universalis, but hair falls out after stopping it.
research Measuring steroids in hair opens up possibilities to identify congenital adrenal hyperplasia in developing countries
Hair steroid measurement is an effective method to diagnose and monitor CAH in developing countries.
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 A Rare Case of Steroid Cell Tumor, Not Otherwise Specified (NOS), of the Ovary in a Young Woman
A young woman's rare ovarian tumor was successfully removed, improving her hormonal symptoms.
research In silico structural prediction of human steroid 5α-reductase type II

research Harm reduction measures in a recreational gym user with anabolic androgenic steroid dependence: a case report in the context of current best clinical practice
Non-medical steroid use in gym-goers is risky and needs better prevention and care strategies.
research Gender-specific alteration of steroid metabolism and its impact on viral replication in a mouse model of hepatitis B virus infection
Hepatitis B virus alters steroid hormones in male mice, reducing dihydrotestosterone to inhibit viral replication.
research Why steroids may not always work in alopecia areata: elevated unoccupied glucocorticoid receptors and decreased levels of thioredoxin
Steroids may not work well for alopecia areata because of high unoccupied receptors and low thioredoxin levels.
research Antihormonal properties of some new A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids of the androstane series
New A-homo-B, 19-dinor steroids showed strong antiandrogenic activity without affecting the enzyme 5α-reductase or androgen receptor binding.
research Estro-progestogen combinations: Effect on sex Steroid Binding Protein (SBP) synthesis
Certain hormone treatments can increase SBP levels and help with mild body hair growth.
research Influence of The Anabolic Steroid Usage on The Physical Health: A Review
Anabolic steroids harm the heart, liver, hormones, muscles, and mental health.
research Scalp atrophy secondary to steroid use in patients with scarring alopecia: are topical steroids superior to topical calcineurin inhibitors?
Topical calcineurin inhibitors might be safer than steroids for scarring alopecia, but more research is needed.
research Regulatory Effects of Thai Rice By-Product Extracts from Oryza sativa L. cv. Bue Bang 3 CMU and Bue Bang 4 CMU on Melanin Production, Nitric Oxide Secretion, and Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibition
BB4CMU rice bran oil may help treat hair loss and gray hair.
research Candida antigen immunotherapy versus steroid in the treatment of alopecia areata
Candida antigen is an effective and promising treatment for alopecia areata.
