5 / 1000+ results research Expression and Activity Assay of Human Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Type II in CHO Cells
This study found that finasteride effectively inhibits the enzymatic activity of human steroid 5 alpha reductase type II in newly established CHO cell lines.
research In Silico Structure-Based Drug Design Approach To Evaluate Quercetin And Kaempferol As Dual Inhibitors Of Jak3 Kinase And 5-Alpha Reductase Type II with ADMET Profiling
In this study, quercetin and kaempferol, two plant-derived flavonoids, showed stronger binding affinities to JAK3 kinase and moderate binding to 5-alpha reductase type 2, suggesting their potential as natural treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with quercetin demonstrating suitable properties for topical application.
research In Silico Structure-Based Drug Design Approach To Evaluate Quercetin And Kaempferol As Dual Inhibitors Of Jak3 Kinase And 5-Alpha Reductase Type II with ADMET Profiling
This study used molecular docking to analyze the binding affinities of quercetin and kaempferol, plant-derived flavonoids, showing they have promising interaction profiles with JAK3 kinase and moderate binding with 5-alpha reductase type 2, suggesting potential as topical treatments for androgenetic alopecia.
research Structure of human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene
This study details the isolation and characterization of the human type II 5 alpha-reductase gene, which may play a role in male pseudohermaphroditism, prostate cancer, and benign prostatic hyperplasia.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Dutasteride might be better for your hairline. Some people have more type 1 5AR activity in their scalp than others.
Dutasteride might be better for hairline due to varying levels of 5AR activity in scalps. Genetic tests can determine if finasteride is enough or if dutasteride is needed.
community I stopped finasteride and minoxidil and I regret it
The user regrets stopping finasteride and minoxidil due to increased hair loss. They have resumed these treatments and are considering a hair transplant.
community 5 years on topical finasteride, 3.5 years on oral minoxidil; now changing from finasteride to dutasteride
A 66-year-old male experienced significant hair regrowth using topical finasteride for 5 years and oral minoxidil for 3.5 years, with no side effects. He is now switching from finasteride to topical dutasteride while continuing oral minoxidil to potentially improve results further.
community UPDATE: now 5 months on Dut and continuing to regress aggressively
The user is experiencing significant hair loss after switching from finasteride to dutasteride for five months. Suggestions include that the hair loss might be a normal shedding phase, with some recommending continuing the treatment for up to 24 months or considering alternatives like RU58841.
community Almost 2.5 years in, crazy how 3 pills a day can grow a hairline back.
The user experienced significant hair regrowth by using a combination of finasteride, oral minoxidil, and later switching to dutasteride. They initially started with finasteride and topical minoxidil, then moved to oral minoxidil and eventually transitioned from finasteride to dutasteride, which they found more effective.

9 / 801 results- Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.
- How is Fluridil different from other DHT blockers like finasteride? Fluridil is a topical androgen-receptor blocker applied to the scalp, while finasteride is an oral 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that lowers DHT throughout the body. Finasteride is FDA-approved and far better studied; Fluridil rests on one 43-man trial and is not licensed as a hair-loss medicine, so its long-term safety and effect size are unknown.
- Is the omega-3 to omega-6 ratio in your diet feeding your hair problem without you knowing? Nutrition sources describe a lopsided omega-6 to omega-3 intake as pro-inflammatory, but no published human study shows that the dietary ratio changes 5-alpha reductase, scalp DHT or hair loss; the one relevant trial tested a commercial omega-3/6 plus antioxidant supplement in 120 women, not a change in dietary fat ratio.
- Can Ecklonia Cava be used as a preventive treatment for early signs of hair thinning? No human trial has tested Ecklonia cava for hair loss, so it cannot be called preventive; the evidence is mouse studies and cell cultures suggesting antioxidant activity and 5-alpha-reductase inhibition in the lab.
- Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Metformin has been shown to lower circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.
