Chinese women with PCOS have higher androgen levels, which change with age and weight.

Some women with excess hair growth have a hormone condition that can't be diagnosed by blood or urine tests alone.

Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.

New probes were created to effectively measure specific enzymes involved in fat metabolism, which could help develop new drugs.

A method was found to accurately measure spironolactone and canrenone in blood samples using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.

The developed model can predict effective 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors.

Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.

FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.

Researchers developed a reliable method to measure testosterone and epitestosterone in urine for medical and anti-doping use.

A yeast-based test can detect the steroid methyltestosterone in urine longer than traditional methods.

Extracts improve hair growth in alopecia.

Finasteride irreversibly affects human steroid 5α-reductase 2, providing insight into its catalytic mechanism and disease-related mutations.

The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.

The human type II 5α-reductase gene has a specific structure important for understanding certain medical conditions.

5-alpha reductase inhibitors can cause sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction and reduced sexual desire, sometimes lasting after stopping the drug.

The triterpenoids from Ganoderma lucidum can block testosterone effects and may help treat enlarged prostate.

PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.

Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.

The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.

Best results found using acetonitrile, water, and trifluoroacetic acid or methanol mixture.

Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with idiopathic hirsutism, but requires careful contraception during treatment.

Finasteride almost fully depletes allopregnanolone in rat brains and enhances 20α-DHP, but doesn't change 3α-DHP levels.

Researchers developed a reliable way to measure hormones in urine, showing that a baldness treatment doesn't change hormone levels.

Germacrene analogs, especially 8-Hydroxy germacrene B, are more effective than germacrone at blocking a hormone-related enzyme and could help treat hair loss.

Neuroactive steroids could become safe, effective treatments with more understanding of their complex brain actions and metabolism.

Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.

Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.

Saw palmetto supplements may modestly improve hair regrowth with few side effects, but more research is needed.

Scientists found out the structure of a human enzyme linked to prostate cancer and hair loss, which could help in designing drugs.
