research Experimental Assessment of 3-Meta-Pyridine-1,2,4-Oxadiazole Deoxycholic Acid Derivative as a Prototype of 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors in Silico and in Vivo Models
The new compound is a promising, less toxic alternative to finasteride for treating prostate issues.
research Intraethnic Variation in Steroid-5-Alpha-Reductase Polymorphisms in Prostate Cancer Patients: A Potential Factor Implicated in 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Treatment
Genetic differences within ethnic groups may affect prostate cancer treatment effectiveness.
research Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia is a common hair loss condition caused by testosterone effects on hair follicles, leading to thinner, shorter, and less pigmented hair, diagnosed using scalp dermoscopy and treated with topical minoxidil, antiandrogen agents, and 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.
research How to Defeat Male Pattern Alopecia in a Womanizer Who Abuses Libido Boosters
Massaging the scalp with a cosmetic containing certain natural inhibitors can significantly regrow hair in men with pattern baldness.
research Literature Review: Nutrafol vs. Microinflammation

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity ghk-cu is potent 5-ar inhibitor?
GHK-Cu is a potent inhibitor of the type 1 5-alpha reductase enzyme in hair follicles, which may reduce hair loss without the side effects associated with type 2 5-alpha reductase inhibitors. The user previously experienced side effects with 5-alpha reductase inhibitors and is considering GHK-Cu as an alternative.
community Is there any role for topical DHT antagonists, or does a 5-AR inhibitor remove the need for them as therapy
Topical androgen receptor antagonists may not be necessary if 5-AR inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride effectively reduce DHT levels. Combining a 5-AR inhibitor with a topical androgen antagonist could potentially enhance treatment, but oral use of androgen antagonists is too risky due to severe side effects.
community What blood markers to get tested before starting any 5-AR inhibitor?
The conversation is about which blood markers to test before starting a 5-AR inhibitor for hair loss. The user mentions already testing Total T, Free T, SHBG, Estradiol, Haematocrit, Red blood cell count, and White cell count, and asks if DHT or additional markers are needed.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Blood DHT Levels – before and after creatine
The impact of creatine on DHT levels, and whether it could cause accelerated male pattern baldness (MPB). The user taking a 5 alpha reductase inhibitor found that their DHT levels actually reduced despite taking creatine for nine weeks. Replies suggested looking into testosterone levels as well and debating the safety of creatine use in relation to MPB.
