TLDR Finasteride improves immune response and reduces organ damage after trauma hemorrhage in mice.
The study investigated the effects of finasteride on the immune response after trauma hemorrhage in male mice. The results showed that finasteride treatment led to reduced levels of pro-inflammatory mediators, reduced cytokine secretion, and reduced organ damage. The study suggests that finasteride may have beneficial effects on the immune response after trauma hemorrhage and could improve posttraumatic immune response and outcome after multiple trauma. Further research is needed to determine the efficacy of finasteride in a clinical setting.
