research Pharmacological Inhibition of Stearoyl CoA Desaturase in the Skin Induces Atrophy of the Sebaceous Glands
In this study, topical application of the SCD1 inhibitor XEN103 significantly reduced sebaceous gland size and number in mouse skin, suggesting potential local therapeutic effects for acne treatment without systemic side effects.
research Pharmacological Inhibition of DGAT1 Induces Sebaceous Gland Atrophy in Mouse and Dog Skin While Overt Alopecia Is Restricted to the Mouse
This study found that prolonged inhibition of DGAT1 in mice and dogs led to atrophy of sebaceous glands, with mice also experiencing alopecia, suggesting potential skin-related risks for humans using DGAT1 inhibitors.
research Pharmacological inhibition of 5α-reductase in androgenetic alopecia: a comparative narrative review of finasteride and dutasteride, with attention to responder heterogeneity and female pattern hair loss
This review concludes that finasteride and dutasteride are the most evidence-supported oral treatments for androgenetic alopecia, with dutasteride offering slightly greater hair count improvements and both affected by genetic response modifiers.
research Pharmacological inhibition of 5α-reductase in androgenetic alopecia: a comparative narrative review of finasteride and dutasteride, with attention to responder heterogeneity and female pattern hair loss
This study reviews the effectiveness and safety of finasteride and dutasteride for treating androgenetic alopecia, highlighting that dutasteride reduces DHT more deeply than finasteride, with genetic factors influencing patient response and both drugs being evidence-supported options for men and women.

5 / 59 resultscommunity Androsterone as a Neurosteroid Replacement Strategy for 5α-Reductase Inhibitor–Associated Sexual and Affective Dysfunction
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 Be careful when switching from Finasteride to Dutasteride because for more efficacy.
Switching from finasteride to dutasteride may be more effective for hair regrowth due to dutasteride's stronger enzyme inhibition, but combining both drugs could enhance results. Some users report better outcomes with dutasteride, while others recommend a gradual transition to prevent potential hair loss.
community What can be the real reason of Finasteride SE ?
Finasteride can cause side effects like erectile dysfunction and decreased libido, possibly due to increased estradiol from testosterone aromatization, especially in those with higher body fat. Side effects vary widely and may also be influenced by genetic factors or neurosteroid inhibition.
community Which compounds in Saw Palmetto are actually beneficial?
Saw palmetto's fatty acids, particularly lauric and linoleic acids, inhibit enzymes linked to hair loss, while sterols like beta-sitosterol are less effective due to poor absorption. The conversation questions which specific compounds in saw palmetto contribute to its anti-androgenic effects.
community Testosterone's Role In Androgenetic Alopecia
DHT is essential for androgenetic alopecia, not testosterone. Treatments like finasteride and dutasteride reduce DHT, halting hair loss.
