Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.

Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.

Caffeine can stimulate hair growth and counteract testosterone's suppressive effects on hair follicles.

Finasteride reduces hair growth better, but spironolactone has more side effects.
