TLDR Finasteride treatment lowers urine androgen and prostaglandin levels, making them potential markers for effectiveness.
The study investigated changes in urine androgen and prostaglandin levels during finasteride treatment for male pattern baldness. The study found that finasteride treatment reduces these levels to similar levels as the control group, suggesting that urine prostaglandins could be used as a marker for confirmation of finasteride therapeutic effect.
