research Antioxidant Enzyme Expression of mRNA and Protein in the Epididymis of Finasteride-Treated Male Rat Offspring During Postnatal Development
Finasteride affects offspring's antioxidant enzymes in epididymis, possibly disrupting sperm maturation.
research The Expression of Inducible Nitric Oxide Synthase (iNOS) in the Testis and Epididymis of Rats with a Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) Deficiency
DHT deficiency increases iNOS expression in rat testis and epididymis.
research Analysis of the Expression Pattern of the Carrier Protein Transthyretin and Its Receptor Megalin in the Human Scalp Skin and Hair Follicles: Hair Cycle-Associated Changes
The proteins transthyretin and megalin are more present in the growth phase of hair, suggesting they might affect hair health and growth.
research Finasteride Use in the Male Infertility Population: Effects on Semen and Hormone Parameters
Finasteride can reduce fertility in some men, but stopping it increases sperm count.

5 / 6 resultscommunity Creatine is the opposite of minoxidil !
Creatine may counteract minoxidil's hair growth effects by closing potassium ATP channels, potentially leading to hair loss in predisposed individuals. Despite anecdotal reports, there is no conclusive evidence linking creatine to hair loss.
community Quit vaping/smoking = 80% less loss
Quitting vaping significantly reduced hair loss for a user who was a heavy vaper and also taking finasteride. Some participants suggest nicotine's vasoconstrictive properties may worsen hair loss, while others share personal anecdotes of hair improvement after quitting smoking or vaping.
community Topical Finasteride Doesn't Directly Reduce 5ar Enzyme on Scalp
Topical Finasteride doesn't directly reduce 5ar enzyme on scalp and has the same mechanism as oral, needing to go through the liver. Users debate the accuracy of this information and discuss various studies and experiences.
community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important
Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.
community EU Shouldn't Ban Fin & Dut: PFS is NOT REAL.
Finasteride and Dutasteride do not cause depression or "Post Finasteride Syndrome," with concerns often linked to the nocebo effect and preexisting mental health issues. The EU is unlikely to ban these drugs, but access may become more restricted due to ongoing debates.
