TLDR Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
A study from three years ago investigated the impact of finasteride and dutasteride on the synthesis of neurosteroids by glioblastoma cells. The drugs were found to decrease the production of certain neurosteroids, which could have implications for treating glioblastoma. However, more research is needed to fully understand the significance of these findings. The study did not provide any information related to hair loss, alopecia, or hair growth.
