research Common urologic diseases in older men and their treatment: how they impact fertility
Urologic diseases and treatments in older men can negatively affect fertility, and doctors should talk to patients about this.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for the Screening of Steroid 5-α Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research Expression of steroidogenic enzymes in human sebaceous glands
Human sebaceous glands contain enzymes that affect androgen production and may influence sebum production and acne.

Cholesterol-related compounds can stop hair growth and cause inflammation in a type of scarring hair loss.
research Oral isotretinoin combined with topical clobetasol 0.05% and tacrolimus 0.1% for the treatment of frontal fibrosing alopecia: a randomized controlled trial
Taking oral isotretinoin with creams worked better for treating a type of hair loss than creams alone.
research Evaluating 5 alpha reductase inhibitors for the treatment of male androgenic alopecia
Finasteride and dutasteride are effective in treating male hair loss but can cause sexual side effects and birth defects.

1′S-1′-Acetoxychavicol acetate may help treat hair loss by reducing oxidative stress.
research Steroid 5α-reductase 2 deficiency leads to reduced dominance-related and impulse-control behaviors
Mice lacking steroid 5α-reductase 2 show less aggression and better impulse control.
research 5‐alpha‐reductase inhibitor treatment for frontal fibrosing alopecia: an evidence‐based treatment update
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may help stabilize or slow down hair loss in some frontal fibrosing alopecia patients, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research 5α-reductase inhibitors impact prognosis of urothelial carcinoma
5α-reductase inhibitors may lower the risk of death from bladder cancer.
research Mitochondrial dysfunction in diabetic neuropathy may be involved in the development of neuropathic pain via a reduction in neurosteroid synthesis
Mitochondrial problems in diabetic nerve damage might cause pain by lowering the production of certain nerve-related steroids.
research Ficus benghalensis as Potential Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase for Hair Growth Promotion: In Vitro, In Silico, and In Vivo Evaluation
Ficus benghalensis leaf extracts can effectively promote hair growth and inhibit hair loss.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract ofQuercus acutissimaCortex
