research Physiopathological role of the enzymatic complex 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase in the generation of progesterone and testosterone neuroactive metabolites

18 citations , March 2020 in “Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology”

This study suggests that synthetic steroid analogues or 5α-reductase modulation could be potential therapeutic strategies for nervous system disorders, but further research on their effects is necessary.

research Neuroactive steroids inhibit spinal reflex potentiation by selectively enhancing specific spinal GABAA receptor subtypes

44 citations , February 2009 in “Pain”

This study found that progesterone can inhibit spinal reflex potentiation in ovariectomized rats through GABA(A) receptor activity, mediated by neurosteroid metabolism rather than direct progesterone receptor action.

research Synthesis and Actions of 5α-Reduced Metabolites of Testosterone in the Nervous System

1 citations , December 2021 in “Androgens”

This review discusses the effects of neuroactive testosterone metabolites on CNS functions and suggests their potential as therapeutic options for neurological disorders, but reports no new clinical results.

research Sexually dimorphic effect of progesterone and its reduced metabolites on the gene expression of myelin proteins in rat Schwann cells

May 2006 in “Frontiers in Neuroendocrinology”

This study found that patients with androgenic alopecia had altered neuroactive steroid levels and depression symptoms after stopping finasteride treatment, suggesting lingering neuropsychiatric effects.

research Developmental Mapping of Hair Follicles in the Embryonic Stages of Cashmere Goats Using Proteomic and Metabolomic Construction

September 2023 in “Animals”

In this study, researchers used proteomic and metabolomic analyses to explore hair follicle development in embryonic cashmere goats, identifying significant roles for the oxytocin signalling pathway and associated networks in this process.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

11 upvotes 3 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 risks with finasteride and dutasteride

138 upvotes 1 year 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 Androsterone as a Neurosteroid Replacement Strategy for 5α-Reductase Inhibitor–Associated Sexual and Affective Dysfunction

in Research/Science 36 upvotes 2 months ago

Androsterone may help with sexual and affective dysfunction from finasteride by replacing disrupted neurosteroids without increasing androgenic side effects. Controlled testing is needed to confirm its effectiveness and safety.

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?

27 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 22M started fin/min/dermaroller again after stopping for almost 2 years (2months progress)

in Progress Pictures 35 upvotes 1 year ago

A 22-year-old resumed using finasteride, minoxidil, and a 0.5mm dermaroller after stopping for two years, experiencing positive results and improved mood. The discussion includes debates on the effects of finasteride on neurosteroids and the optimal dermaroller needle length for hair regrowth.
