research Inhibition of Human Steroid 5β-Reductase (AKR1D1) by Finasteride and Structure of the Enzyme-Inhibitor Complex
Finasteride helps treat hair loss and prostate enlargement by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Cutaneous manifestations of anabolic-androgenic steroid use in athletes
Using anabolic-androgenic steroids can cause skin problems like acne and hair loss in athletes.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Structure of human steroid 5α-reductase 2 with the anti-androgen drug finasteride
Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research In Vivo Time-Dependent Inhibition of Human Steroid 5a-Reductase by Finasteride
Finasteride poorly inhibits type 1 5AR, affecting its effectiveness.
research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
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 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 Structural studies of two solid steroid compounds
Androsterone and finasteride have different solid forms, with new findings correcting previous errors and identifying a new form.
research Crystal Structure and Synthesis of 17α-Hexanoyloxy-16β-methylpregna-4,6-diene-3,20-dione
A new compound that could treat various androgen-related conditions was created and analyzed.
research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine steroid hormones in human serum with high sensitivity.
research Steroidogenic factor-1 lineage origin of skin lesions in Carney complex syndrome
Skin lesions in Carney complex are likely caused by a specific group of skin cells that promote pigment production due to a genetic mutation.
research Crystal structure of steroid reductase SRD5A reveals conserved steroid reduction mechanism
The structure of SRD5A reveals how it reduces steroids, aiding drug design for related health conditions.
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 Calcineurin-based immunosuppression in renal transplantation : focus on efficacy, the role of steroids, and the cardiovascular risk
Tacrolimus causes fewer acute rejections than cyclosporin A in kidney transplants but doesn't necessarily improve kidney function after one year; cardiovascular risks and side effects vary between the two drugs.
research A new catalyst for organic synthesis: mercuric triflate
Mercuric triflate is an effective catalyst for various organic reactions, working well at room temperature with high yields.
research Design and synthesis of novel androgen receptor antagonists with sterically bulky icosahedral carboranes
New compounds with carborane showed anti-androgen effects similar to flutamide.
research The Effect of Simvastatin on Plasma Steroid Hormone Levels in Metformin-Treated Women with Non-Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia
Simvastatin may help manage symptoms in women with non-classic congenital adrenal hyperplasia by lowering cholesterol and certain hormone levels.
research Methotrexate in the treatment of steroid-dependent asthma
Methotrexate reduced the need for steroids in asthma patients without worsening their condition.
research Effect of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs on post-surgical complications against the backdrop of the opioid crisis
NSAIDs may not affect soft tissue healing but should be used carefully for bone fractures and more research is needed to understand sex differences in response.
