Exposure to too much androgen before birth might cause polycystic ovary syndrome later in life.
research Alteration of neonatal Allopregnanolone levels affects exploration, anxiety, aversive learning and adult behavioural response to intrahippocampal neurosteroids
Changing Allopregnanolone levels in newborns affects adult behavior and anxiety.
research Epigenetic Regulation of Medulloblastoma Proliferation by Finasteride-Induced Modulation of BTG2 and CD244 Gene Methylation
Finasteride may help treat childhood brain tumors by activating certain genes.

Anastrozole and cyproterone acetate treatment can help increase adult height in boys with testotoxicosis.
research Topical absorption and systemic toxicity
Some chemicals absorbed through the skin can cause serious health problems.
research Molecular mechanisms of ectodermal dysplasia syndromes
Ectodermal dysplasia syndromes are caused by disruptions in key signaling pathways affecting tooth and hair development.
research Abstracts from the 55th European Society of Human Genetics (ESHG) Conference: Oral Presentations
NIPT can help detect potential maternal cancer, and GIPXplore can identify immune diseases in pregnancies.
research Dermatologic diseases and pregnancy
Pregnancy can cause normal skin changes, including darkening of certain areas, nail changes, vascular changes, and breast changes like stretch marks.
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 Comments on “Maternal–fetal safety evaluation of an aqueous extract of Casearia sylvestris [AECS ] leaves in rats” (Nagaoka et al., 2023 [DOI : 10.1002/bdr2.2257])
The commentary stresses the importance of using historical control data and proper interpretation in evaluating developmental toxicity.
research Female Antiandrogens
Antiandrogens can treat female hormonal conditions, but environmental ones may harm reproductive health.
research Neonatal finasteride administration decreases dopamine release in nucleus accumbens after alcohol and food presentation in adult male rats
Finasteride given to baby rats reduces dopamine release and increases alcohol consumption in adult males.
research Plasma levels of C19 steroid glucuronides in pre-menopausal women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia
Women with non-classical congenital adrenal hyperplasia have higher levels of certain steroids, which can be reduced by treatment.
research Skin Organogenesis and Dysmorphogenetic Factors in Skin Diseases (Review)
Disruptions in Wnt signaling can lead to skin and hair diseases.
research The profile of steroid hormones in human fetal and adult ovaries
Fetal ovaries produce different hormones than adult ovaries, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals may affect this process.
research Pemphigus vulgaris in only one of two monozygotic twins
Genetic factors alone might not cause pemphigus vulgaris; other factors like birth complications and puberty may trigger it.
research The genetics of autism and steroid-related traits in prenatal and postnatal life
Autism's genetics are linked with early age of puberty and less hair loss, but not with hormone levels or polycystic ovary syndrome.
research To grow or not to grow: Hair morphogenesis and human genetic hair disorders
Genetic mutations can cause hair growth disorders by affecting key genes and signaling pathways.
research Androgen‐induced neurite outgrowth is mediated by neuritin in motor neurones
Androgens help motor neurons grow by increasing neuritin.
research Fetal alpha 5-reductase Val89Leu mutation is associated with late miscarriage
A certain mutation in the fetal alpha 5-reductase gene is linked to a higher risk of late miscarriage.
research The Postnatal Offspring of Finasteride-Treated Male Rats Shows Hyperglycaemia, Elevated Hepatic Glycogen Storage and Altered GLUT2, IR, and AR Expression in the Liver
Finasteride-treated male rats' offspring had altered glucose metabolism, potentially increasing diabetes risk.
