research Study on the mechanism that SNPs related to sex hormone metabolism regulate the imbalance of sex hormones and lead to BPHin rats

July 2026 in “Figshare”

This research explores the pathogenesis of benign prostatic hyperplasia and evaluates the combined effect of finasteride and anastrozole in treating BPH in a rat model, but reports no new results yet.

research Study on the mechanism that SNPs related to sex hormone metabolism regulate the imbalance of sex hormones and lead to BPHin rats

July 2026 in “Figshare”

This study is designed to explore the pathogenesis of BPH and assess the effectiveness of combining finasteride and anastrozole as a treatment in rats, with a focus on genetic polymorphisms and hormone regulation.

Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Mechanisms of Inhibition of Rat Type 1 and 2 Steroid 5α-Reductases: Determinants for Different In Vivo Activities of GI198745 and Finasteride in the Rat

research Pharmacokinetic parameters and mechanisms of inhibition of rat type 1 and 2 steroid 5α-reductases: determinants for different in vivo activities of GI198745 and finasteride in the rat 3 3Abbreviations: r5AR1, rat 5α-reductase 1; r5AR2, rat 5α-reductase 2; and DHT, dihydrotestosterone.

22 citations , October 2001 in “Biochemical Pharmacology”

This study found that GI198745 acts as a time-dependent inhibitor of rat 5α-reductase type 2 but a rapid-equilibrium inhibitor of type 1, potentially making it more effective than finasteride in preventing rat prostate growth.

research Aspects of Cutaneous Androgen‐Dependent Syndromes

5 citations , September 1980 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

This article discusses various skin conditions influenced by androgens and reports no new clinical findings.

research A study on the regulation of dermal papilla cells proliferation and anti-androgen mechanism of Terminalia bellirica (Gaertn.) Roxb.: Verification based on inhibition of 5α-reductase and cell model

July 2026 in “Journal of Dermatologic Science and Cosmetic Technology”

This study found that extracts from Terminalia bellirica enhanced dermal papilla cell viability, inhibited androgen-related pathways, and stimulated hair regrowth in a mouse model, suggesting potential for treating androgenetic alopecia through multi-target mechanisms.

community Finasteride's impact on blood pressure - mechanism of action

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride may cause mild blood pressure-related side effects in less than 10% of users, unlike minoxidil, which has stronger effects. Alternatives like topical ketoconazole and dermarollers are suggested for those concerned about finasteride's side effects.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 1 month ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community Theoretically won't this be better than finasteride? Azelaic acid + zinc

9 upvotes 3 years ago

The conversation discusses using zinc sulphate and azelaic acid to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity, which could potentially treat androgen-related skin conditions like hair loss. Combining these with vitamin B6 could enhance the effect, potentially offering an alternative to finasteride.

community There’s nothing better on the horizon [RANT]

22 upvotes 1 month ago

There is skepticism about new hair loss treatments, with the belief that current options like minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplants are the best available. Concerns are raised about the systemic side effects of androgen-related treatments, even those marketed as topical, and doubts about the effectiveness of emerging treatments like clascoterone.

community Research: Minoxidil grows hair by suppressing androgen activity (DHT) in hair follicles.

43 upvotes 6 years ago

Minoxidil may suppress androgen activity in hair follicles, potentially aiding in hair growth and prostate cancer treatment. Users discuss the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for hair maintenance and regrowth, with some preferring topical applications over oral due to safety concerns.
