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.
research Potential targets in the discovery of new hair growth promoters for androgenic alopecia
The document concludes that targeting 5α-reductase, the androgen receptor, and hair growth genes, along with using compounds with anti-androgenic properties, could lead to more effective hair loss treatments.
research STEROIDS AND STEROID-LIKE COMPOUNDS
Athletes use steroids to enhance performance despite health risks and legal issues, and education on their dangers is needed.
research Altered brain and pituitary androgen metabolism by prenatal, perinatal or pre- and postnatal finasteride, flutamide or dihydrotestosterone treatment in juvenile male rats
Treatment during development affects hormone balance and sexual behavior in male rats.
research Hormone therapy in acne
Hormonal treatment is effective for women with acne not helped by usual treatments, especially if they have hormonal imbalances.
research Cross-sex hormone therapy for gender dysphoria
Cross-sex hormone therapy is important for managing gender dysphoria and requires careful monitoring and healthcare provider education.

Finasteride may help prevent chronic bacterial prostatitis, with better results when combined with antibiotics.
research Inhibitors of 5α-reductase-related side effects in patients seeking medical care for sexual dysfunction.
5α-reductase inhibitors may worsen sexual drive and spontaneous erections but don't worsen existing erectile or ejaculatory problems.
research Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgens contribute to common male hair loss; more research needed for hair growth medication.
research Sub-chronic effects of a Phthirusa pyrifolia aqueous extract on reproductive function and comparative hormone levels in male rats
Phthirusa pyrifolia extract may lower testosterone and harm male rat reproduction without damaging the liver or kidneys.
research Clomiphene citrate rescue of spermatogenesis in men with infertility while remaining on finasteride: A case report
Clomiphene citrate improves fertility in men taking finasteride for hair loss.

Fenugreek seed extract boosts testosterone and improves male reproductive health without heart side effects.
research Physiology of the Hypothalamic Pituitary Gonadal Axis in the Male
The document explains how the male reproductive system works, its role in making testosterone, and how conditions like obesity can disrupt it, leading to low testosterone and fertility issues.
research Treatment of hirsutism: comparisons between different antiandrogens with central and peripheral effects
Finasteride, CPA, and flutamide are all equally effective in reducing excessive hair growth in women.
research Bone density is normal in male rats treated with finasteride.
Finasteride doesn't affect bone density in male rats.
research Synthesis and biological evaluation of novel unsaturated carboxysteroids as human 5α-reductase inhibitors: A legitimate approach
New steroid compounds effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and may treat hair loss.
research Polymorphisms in androgen and estrogen receptor genes: effects on male aging
Changes in testosterone and estrogen receptor genes can affect how men age, influencing body fat, hair patterns, and possibly leading to skin disorders.
research The effect of minocycline on the metabolism of androgens by human oral periosteal fibroblasts and its inhibition by finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Pharmacological and Phytochemical Updates on Citrullus colocynthis & Citrullus lanata
Citrullus colocynthis and Citrullus lanatus have potential health benefits but may also cause reproductive toxicity.
research Exploring phytoandrogens: A review of their potential in health and medicine
