research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic β-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Medical therapy for hair loss: what we know and what we need to find out
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for male hair loss; minoxidil also helps female hair loss, with some treatments needing more research.
research Effect of MK-386, a novel inhibitor of type 1 5 alpha-reductase, alone and in combination with finasteride, on serum dihydrotestosterone concentrations in men.
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research Human type 3 5α-reductase is expressed in peripheral tissues at higher levels than types 1 and 2 and its activity is potently inhibited by finasteride and dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in the treatment of men with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research Nonsteroidal inhibitors of human type I steroid 5-.alpha.-reductase
New compounds called benzoquinolinones may treat conditions linked to excess DHT.
research Incidence of type 2 diabetes mellitus in men receiving steroid 5α-reductase inhibitors: population based cohort study
Men taking dutasteride or finasteride have a slightly higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
research Manage androgenetic alopecia in men with established options but emerging therapies show promise
New treatments for male pattern hair loss look promising, but established treatments are still the main option.
research Predominant expression of 5 alpha-reductase type 1 in pubic skin from normal subjects and hirsute patients.
The main enzyme found in pubic skin that could be targeted to treat excessive hair growth is 5 alpha-R2.
research Analysis of genetic polymorphisms of steroid 5α-reductase type 1 and 2 genes in Korean men with androgenetic alopecia
Gene differences may affect baldness treatment response in Korean men.
research In Search of Predictive Models for Inhibitors of 5-alpha Reductase 2 Based on the Integration of Bioactivity and Molecular Descriptors Data.
The models can help find better inhibitors for conditions like baldness and prostate disorders.
research Changes in serum free testosterone, sleep patterns, and 5‐alpha‐reductase type I activity influence changes in sebum excretion in female subjects
Sleep, testosterone levels, and a specific enzyme activity affect skin oil production in women.
research Longitudinal clinical course in patients with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency treated with testosterone and dihydrotestosterone during infancy and puberty
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone treatments can help with penile growth in males with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, with dihydrotestosterone being more effective in infancy.
research 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency: is there a genotype-phenotype correlation? A review
No consistent link between genotype and phenotype in 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency.
