TLDR DA-9401 protects against hair loss, improves organ function, and prevents infertility caused by finasteride.
The document contains summaries of various studies conducted on Sprague-Dawley rats to investigate the protective effect of DA-9401 on acute use of finasteride. The studies found that DA-9401 had a protective effect on hair loss, liver and kidney function, blood glucose levels, and the negative effects of finasteride on the rats' prostate and seminal vesicles. DA-9401 was also found to improve hormonal imbalance and prevent endoplasmic reticulum stress in the testes. The studies suggest that DA-9401 may be a potential treatment for hair loss caused by finasteride and infertility caused by finasteride use.
