research The Development of BL 7660 as an Anti‐Acne Agent
BRL 7660, once studied for male contraception, showed promise as an acne treatment but was not developed further due to competing drugs.
research How routine pharmacovigilance failed to identify finasteride’s persistent sexual side effects
Finasteride, a hair loss drug, has unaddressed sexual side effects due to the manufacturer's inadequate safety measures and lack of additional studies.
research Prevention and treatment of experimental prostate cancer in lobund-wistar rats. I. Effects of estradiol, dihydrotestosterone, and castration
Estradiol and castration reduced prostate cancer development in rats when applied at early stages, but were ineffective after cancer was established.
research Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of novel androst-3,5-diene-3-carboxylic acid derivatives as inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 and 2
New chemical compounds were made that effectively block an enzyme linked to prostate growth.
research [Antiandrogen therapy of acne, falling hair and hirsutism (author's transl)].
Cyproterone acetate is an effective treatment for women with acne, hair loss, and excessive hair growth.
research Inhibiting Biosynthesis and/or Metabolism of Progestins in the Ventral Tegmental Area Attenuates Lordosis of Rats in Behavioural Oestrus
Blocking certain brain processes reduces mating behavior in female rats.
research A rare case of an androgen-producing stromal luteoma of the ovary in a postmenopausal woman, diagnosed by means of selective venous blood sampling
Doctors used a special blood sampling technique to diagnose a woman's rare ovarian tumor that was producing male hormones.
research Attenuating 5α-pregnane-3α-ol-20-one formation in the hippocampus of female rats increases pentylenetetrazole-induced seizures
Reducing 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases seizures in female rats.
research An unusual circulating steroid profile in a virilized postmenopausal woman
A 68-year-old woman developed male traits due to a tumor in her ovary, which was removed, returning her hormone levels to normal.
research Spironolactone therapy for hyperandrogenic anovulatory women--clinical and endocrinological study.
Spironolactone improved symptoms in women with hormonal imbalances and had few side effects.
research Finasteride delays the onset of maternal behavior in primigravid rats
Finasteride slows down motherly behavior in first-time pregnant rats.
research Natural variability and the influence of concurrent control values on the detection and interpretation of low-dose or weak endocrine toxicities.
Control variability makes it hard to confirm low-dose endocrine effects.
research Topical Finasteride Therapy in Hirsutism
Topical finasteride may help treat facial hirsutism in women.
research Finasteride, a 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, blocks the anticonvulsant activity of progesterone in mice.
Finasteride, a drug, can block the seizure-preventing effects of a hormone called progesterone in mice.
research USE OF SPIRONOLACTONE IN COMBINATION WITH AN ORAL CONTRACEPTIVE IN TREATMENT OF HIRSUTISM
Spironolactone with an oral contraceptive improved hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research Patients treated for male pattern hair with finasteride show, after discontinuation of the drug, altered levels of neuroactive steroids in cerebrospinal fluid and plasma
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
research Finasteride use during pregnancy and early neonatal outcome: a case report
Baby born healthy despite mom taking finasteride, but more research needed.
research In silico screening of effective inhibitor of 5α-reductase type 1 for androgenic alopecia treatment
β-sitosterol and brassicasterol may help treat hair loss.
research A high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry assay of the androgenic neurosteroid 3α-androstanediol (5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol) in plasma
Testosterone increases 3α-androstanediol levels, which can be blocked by finasteride.
research EFFECT OF LOW DOSE FINASTERIDE ON SEMEN VOLUME AND SPERM DENSITY IN YOUNG MEN
research Virilizing Ovarian Tumor in a Postmenopausal Women
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Acetoxy-pregn-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
The compound was successfully made and shows potential for treating prostate cancer.
research [Skin changes from taking hormonal contraceptives].
Taking hormonal contraceptives can cause skin changes, including hair loss, due to the effects of synthetic sex hormones.
research The use of 5 alpha-reductase in the era of minimally invasive surgical therapies (MISTs): Is it still valuable?
research Testosterone replacement in the setting of Finasteride therapy: a therapeutic dilemma
research Activity of steroid 4 and derivatives 4a–4f as inhibitors of the enzyme 5α-reductase 1
Compounds 4, 4b, and 4c effectively inhibit an enzyme linked to testosterone conversion without significant toxicity.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Low Dose Flutamide, Finasteride, Ketoconazole, and Cyproterone Acetate-Estrogen Regimens in the Treatment of Hirsutism
All treatments reduce hair growth; low dose flutamide most effective with fewer side effects.
research Aromatase-independent testosterone conversion into estrogenic steroids is inhibited by a 5α-reductase inhibitor
Combining 5α-reductase and aromatase inhibitors may better reduce estrogen levels.
research Androgens and Antiandrogens
Male hormones, or androgens, affect women's health in areas like mood and bone density, and hormone replacement therapy using antiandrogenic progestogens can improve mood disorders and alertness in menopausal women.
