research Studies on Neurosteroids XXIV: Determination of Neuroactive Androgens, Androsterone and 5α-Androstane-3α,17β-Diol, in Rat Brain and Serum Using Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry

13 citations , July 2008 in “Biomedical Chromatography”

The methods accurately measured brain androgens, showing most 5α-androstane-3α,17β-diol comes from outside the brain, while androsterone is both transported and made in the brain.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.

community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 25 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.

community risks with finasteride and dutasteride

in Research/Science 141 upvotes 8 months ago

Finasteride and dutasteride have potential risks, including post-finasteride syndrome, but are commonly used for hair loss. RU58841, minoxidil, and needling are suggested as alternatives, though all treatments carry risks.

community What is the real impact of dutasteride on neurosteroids? A little review of 2 scientific datas

in Research/Science 21 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride at 0.5 mg/day does not significantly alter allopregnanolone levels, but higher doses (2.5 mg/day) do. Dutasteride may also have anti-neuroinflammatory effects, but the impact on neurosteroids is still debated.

community The safest way to use finasteride - my research

in Finasteride 23 upvotes 8 years ago

The post discusses microdosing finasteride to minimize side effects while treating hair loss. The user also mentions using minoxidil, biotin, and ketoconazole.
