research Repeated finasteride administration induces depression-like behavior in adult male rats
This study found that repeated finasteride administration in male Wistar rats led to increased depression-like behavior, suggesting an animal model for investigating finasteride's neuropsychiatric effects is viable.
research The interaction between finasteride and corticosterone levels: implications for depression-, and anxiety-like behavior and hippocampal synaptic plasticity in male rats
In this study, chronic finasteride administration in male rats led to depression- and anxiety-like behaviors only in specific tests and moderately affected hippocampal synaptic plasticity, possibly due to adaptive plasma corticosterone level changes over time.
research EFFECT OF FINASTERIDE TREATMENT IN MALE RAT: DEPRESSIVE-LIKE BEHAVIOR AND RELATED PARAMETERS
This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats has lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition even one month after discontinuation.
research Anxiety-, and Depression-like Behaviour Following Short-Term Finasteride Administration is Associated with Impaired Synaptic Plasticity and Cognitive Behaviour in Male Rats
This study observed that short-term administration of finasteride in male Wistar rats induced anxiety-like and depression-like behaviors, impaired spatial learning and memory, and reduced synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus, with a trend of increased corticosterone levels noted.
research Treatment of male rats with finasteride, an inhibitor of 5alpha-reductase enzyme, induces long-lasting effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, neuroinflammation and gut microbiota composition
This study found that finasteride treatment in male rats led to enduring effects on depressive-like behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis and neuroinflammation, and gut microbiota composition after withdrawal.
