research Involvement of Activation of Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase (MAPK)/Extracellular Signal-Regulated Kinase (ERK) Signaling Pathway in Proliferation of Urethral Plate Fibroblasts in Finasteride-Induced Rat Hypospadias

10 citations , December 2018 in “Medical Science Monitor”

This study suggests that the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis, and cycling in rat urethral plate fibroblasts affected by finasteride-induced hypospadias.

research Effects of In Utero Exposure to D-004, a Lipid Extract from Roystonea Regia Fruits, in the Male Rat: A Comparison with Finasteride

8 citations , August 2011 in “Journal of Medicinal Food”

In this study, D-004 did not affect androgen-dependent development in rats exposed in utero, while finasteride caused significant changes in male offspring's androgen-dependent tissues.
