research Reduced metabolites mediate neuroprotective effects of progesterone in the adult rat hippocampus. The synthetic progestin medroxyprogesterone acetate (Provera) is not neuroprotective

123 citations , June 2006 in “Journal of Neurobiology”

This study reports that progesterone metabolism to DHP and THP is necessary for its neuroprotective effect against kainic acid excitotoxicity in ovariectomized rats, unlike the synthetic progestin MPA.

Physiopathological Role of the Enzymatic Complex 5α-Reductase and 3α/β-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase in the Generation of Progesterone and Testosterone Neuroactive Metabolites

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 Mechanisms responsible for progesterone's protection against lordosis-inhibiting effects of restraint II. Role of progesterone metabolites

9 citations , May 2011 in “Hormones and Behavior”

Allopregnanolone, a progesterone metabolite, helps reduce restraint effects on behavior.

research The neurosteroid metabolite of progesterone, 3α‐OH‐dihydroprogesterone (3α‐OH‐DHP), is required for attenuated baroreflex mediated sympathoexcitation in pregnancy

1 citations , April 2013 in “The FASEB Journal”

In this study, chronic finasteride administration in near-term pregnant rats restored baroreflex control of renal sympathetic nerve activity to levels observed in non-pregnant rats.

research Changes in Progesterone Metabolites in the Hippocampus Can Modulate Open Field and Forced Swim Test Behavior of Proestrous Rats

269 citations , May 2002 in “Hormones and Behavior”

Lowering 3α,5α-THP in the hippocampus increases anxiety and depression in proestrous rats.

community I have tried many treatments but it's getting worse. 23M.

90 upvotes 1 year ago

A 23-year-old male experiencing worsening hair loss has tried topical Minoxidil, Finasteride, Progesterone, Hydrocortisone butyrate, and Ketoconazole. He is considering switching to oral Finasteride due to concerns about side effects and lack of improvement.

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 Detransitioning, questions about hair loss prevention while body ramps back up testosterone production

in Transgender 2 upvotes 4 months ago

The conversation discusses preventing hair loss during detransitioning, with suggestions to use finasteride or dutasteride as DHT blockers. The user is also considering rosemary oil and monitoring testosterone levels.

community How finasteride lowers brain's happiness steroid allopregnanolone and causes depression: systemic dihydroprogesterone crosses blood brain barrier, you don't even need finasteride and brain 5ar for that

288 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may lower allopregnanolone levels, potentially affecting mood, but many users report improved mental health due to reduced hair loss. Experiences with finasteride and dutasteride vary, with some experiencing side effects and others finding them beneficial for hair retention and overall happiness.

community When you think about it blocking dht is not that big of a deal as it’s made out to be

in Research/Science 6 months ago

Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.
