research 5α-Reductase type 2 gene variant associations with prostate cancer risk, circulating hormone levels and androgenetic alopecia
A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Finasteride use in the male infertility population: effects on semen and hormone parameters
Finasteride can reduce fertility in some men, but stopping it increases sperm count.
research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.
LY191704 is a compound that effectively blocks a specific enzyme involved in hormone conversion and could help treat enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Minoxidil and the Treatment of Severe Hypertension
Minoxidil lowers blood pressure effectively but may cause unwanted hair growth and other side effects.
research A novel finasteride 0.25% topical solution for androgenetic alopecia: pharmacokinetics and effects on plasma androgen levels in healthy male volunteers
New finasteride solution effectively reduces baldness-causing hormone, potentially with fewer side effects.
research A prospective, randomized trial comparing flutamide (250 mg/d) and finasteride (5 mg/d) in the treatment of hirsutism
Flutamide reduces hair growth better but has more side effects.
research Tamoxifen for flutamide/finasteride-induced gynecomastia
Tamoxifen effectively treats gynecomastia without causing impotence.
research Alopecia With Endocrine Therapies in Patients With Cancer
Endocrine therapies for cancer significantly increase the risk of hair loss.
research Emerging treatments in alopecia
New alopecia treatments aim for better results and fewer side effects.
research Clinical application of 5α-reductase inhibitors
5α-reductase inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, effectively treat BPH, male baldness, and hirsutism, with potential for acne and prostate cancer prevention.
research Perifollicular Fibrosis: Pathogenetic Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgen hormones cause hair follicle scarring in hair loss, and finasteride helps reduce it.
research A Review of Medical and Surgical Treatment Options for Androgenetic Alopecia
Use finasteride, minoxidil, and follicular unit transplantation for hair loss treatment.
research Intraoperative floppy iris syndrome
Certain eye surgery complications can be managed effectively, especially in patients who have used specific prostate medications.
research Androgens Affect the Activity of Human Sebocytes in Culture in a Manner Dependent on the Localization of the Sebaceous Glands and Their Effect Is Antagonized by Spironolactone
Male hormones affect oil-producing skin cells differently based on their body location, and the drug spironolactone can reduce these effects.
research The prolactin receptor as a therapeutic target in human diseases: browsing new potential indications
Blocking the prolactin receptor might help treat various diseases, but more research is needed.
research Binary and ternary inclusion complexes of finasteride in HPβCD and polymers: Preparation and characterization
Finasteride complexes with HPβCD and polymers improve solubility, potentially enhancing hair loss treatment.
research Evaluation of 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of certain herbs useful as antiandrogens
Some herbs show promise as antiandrogenic agents.
research Comparison of finasteride and flutamide in the treatment of idiopathic hirsutism
Finasteride and flutamide both reduce hair growth, but finasteride has fewer side effects.
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 Finasteride-associated cataract and intraoperative floppy-iris syndrome
Finasteride may cause cataracts and floppy-iris syndrome.
research Finasteride treatment for one year in 35 hirsute patients

research The efficacy and use of finasteride in women: a systematic review
Finasteride improves hair growth and reduces hirsutism in women, but side effects and optimal dosages need further research.
research A population‐based nested case–control study: the use of 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitors and the increased risk of osteoporosis diagnosis in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia
Taking finasteride for benign prostate hyperplasia may increase the risk of osteoporosis, especially at higher doses.
research Effects of finasteride, a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor, on circulating androgens and gonadotropin secretion in hirsute women.
Finasteride reduces dihydrotestosterone, increases testosterone, and may treat hirsutism in women.
