research The 5 Alpha-Reductase Isozyme Family: A Review of Basic Biology and Their Role in Human Diseases
The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.
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 Acne: Hormonal concepts and therapy
Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.
research Adverse effects of 5α-reductase inhibitors: What do we know, don’t know, and need to know?
5α-reductase inhibitors may cause persistent sexual dysfunction and depression, needing more research on long-term effects.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibition Prevents the Luteal Phase Increase in Plasma Allopregnanolone Levels and Mitigates Symptoms in Women with Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder
High-dose dutasteride reduces PMDD symptoms by stabilizing neurosteroid levels.
research Ethanol Enhances Neurosteroidogenesis in Hippocampal Pyramidal Neurons by Paradoxical NMDA Receptor Activation
Ethanol boosts brain steroid production by activating NMDA receptors, affecting memory formation.
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 Contemporary medical therapy for polycystic ovary syndrome
New treatments for PCOS focus on insulin resistance and reducing testosterone levels, along with traditional hormone therapies.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Consequences of steroid-5α-reductase deficiency and inhibition in vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research The 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride reduces opioid self-administration in animal models of opioid use disorder
Finasteride reduces opioid use and withdrawal symptoms in animals.
research Androgens and Parkinson’s disease: the role in humans and in experiment
Dutasteride shows promise as a potential treatment for Parkinson's disease.
research Fibrosing Alopecia in a Pattern Distribution
FAPD and possibly CCCA may be AGA subtypes, and treatments combining antiandrogens, hair growth agents, hair transplants, and anti-inflammatories could be effective.
research Advances in Knowledge of Androgens: How Intentional and Accidental Neurosteroid Changes Inform Us of Their Action and Role
Finasteride can have lasting negative effects on brain function and behavior by disrupting neurosteroid production.
research Effect of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors in animal models of Parkinson’s disease
5-alpha reductase inhibitors may help protect the brain and gut in Parkinson's disease.
research Linking diet to acne metabolomics, inflammation, and comedogenesis: an update
Eating less sugar, milk, and saturated fats and more vegetables and fish may help treat and prevent acne.
research Finasteride Inhibits Human Prostate Cancer Cell Invasion through MMP2 and MMP9 Downregulation
Finasteride may reduce prostate cancer spread by lowering certain enzyme levels.
research Anti-androgens for the treatment of hirsutism
Different anti-androgen medications can help treat excessive hair growth, but the right choice depends on accurate diagnosis.
research Trace elements content and hormonal profiles in women with androgenetic alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research The connection of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors to the development of depression
5-alpha reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, may cause depression, but more research is needed to understand why.
research Hair, Hormones, and High-Risk Prostate Cancer
Men with a certain baldness pattern at age 40-50 may have a higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer.
research The Off-Label Use of Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors for Sexual Behavior Management: Risks and Considerations
SSRIs may help manage sexual behavior in dementia patients, but they can cause long-lasting sexual dysfunction.
research Novel modulatory effects of neurosteroids and benzodiazepines on excitatory and inhibitory neurons excitability: a multi-electrode array recording study
Neurosteroids and benzodiazepines reduce neuron excitability, with lasting effects on inhibitory neurons.
research EFFECT OF FINASTERIDE TREATMENT IN MALE RAT: DEPRESSIVE-LIKE BEHAVIOR AND RELATED PARAMETERS
Finasteride may cause depression and affect brain and gut health in male rats.
research Alopecia attributed to neoplastic ovarian tissue in two ferrets.
Hair loss in two ferrets was caused by ovarian tissue tumors, not adrenal issues.
research [Hormonal interaction and hair growth].
Hormones, especially DHT, affect hair loss and growth, and targeting specific enzymes may help treat hair loss.
research Testosterone modulation of seizure susceptibility is mediated by neurosteroids 3α-androstanediol and 17β-estradiol
