research Evaluation of 5α-reductase inhibitory activity of certain herbs useful as antiandrogens
Some herbs show promise as antiandrogenic agents.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5a-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts*
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
research Evidence for Increased 5α-Reductase Activity During Early Childhood in Daughters of Women With Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Young girls whose mothers have PCOS may have higher activity of a specific enzyme that could lead to developing PCOS later.
research 570 Targeting JAK/STAT and Wnt/b-catenin pathways and 5a-reductase activity to develop an effective anti-hair loss product
The lotion with specific plant extracts effectively increased hair growth and improved hair cycle in subjects after 3 months.
research Is Increased 5a-Reductase Activity a Primary Phenomenon in Androgen-Dependent Skin Disorders?

Finasteride not only inactivates the 5a reductase enzyme but also affects the 5b reductase enzyme in a dose-dependent manner, which can impact sexual behavior and brain activity. The user experienced significant hair regrowth and side effects on 1mg of finasteride, which diminished after reducing the dose to 0.5mg, leading to no side effects and further hair improvement.
community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.
Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community 5ARI (dutasteride) Associated with Adverse Metabolic Effects
Dutasteride is associated with increased blood glucose, HbA1c, LDL cholesterol, and liver enzyme activity, potentially leading to diabetes, NAFLD, and liver metabolism changes. The conversation highlights concerns about these adverse effects and calls for more studies, including on finasteride.
community Targeted Follicular Finasteride Delivery: A Low-Systemic Strategy
A peptide-based delivery system for finasteride shows promise in reducing systemic side effects while maintaining hair growth effectiveness. Combining this with other treatments like minoxidil and RU58841 could enhance results with lower systemic absorption.
