New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research Treatment of Hirsutism with 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds may soon be tested to treat excessive hair growth in women.
research Allopregnanolone Is Required for Prepulse Inhibition Deficits Induced by D1 Dopamine Receptor Activation
Allopregnanolone is needed for certain brain processing issues caused by D1 dopamine receptor activation.
research Synthesis and In Vitro Evaluation of 4-Substituted N-(1,1-Dimethylethyl)-3-Oxo-4-Androstene-17β-Carboxamides as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Antiandrogens
The new compounds moderately block a specific enzyme and strongly counteract a male hormone, suggesting potential for treating certain male-related health conditions.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Diet and Acne
Diet changes can help reduce acne by limiting certain hormones.
![Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of 8-Substituted Benzo[ƒ]Quinolinones Derived from Palladium Mediated Coupling Reactions](/images/research/2aedba8c-b0ac-4fa3-9ac7-9f375a016bba/small/15581.jpg)
research Synthesis and 5α-Reductase Inhibitory Activity of 8-Substituted Benzo[ƒ]Quinolinones Derived from Palladium Mediated Coupling Reactions
Some newly made compounds can block an enzyme linked to hair loss and prostate growth, with one in particular being very selective.
research Clinical Use of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Preparation of 3H-Labelled Testosterone Metabolites
The conclusion is that tritium-labeled testosterone metabolites can be made and are better converted into dihydrotestosterone in skin cells than in prostate tissue.
research Androgen Biosynthesis and Gene Defects
Gene mutations can cause problems in male genital development.
research Androgen Metabolism as It Affects Hair Growth in Androgenetic Alopecia
Too much androgen can cause hair loss; finasteride may help.
research Finasteride, a Type 2 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.
research Hormonal Therapy in Dermatology
Hormonal therapy is a treatment option for acne, the only medical treatment for hirsutism, and the most promising for androgenetic alopecia.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in Males
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research The Effect of Finasteride and Dutasteride on the Synthesis of Neurosteroids by Glioblastoma Cells
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce neurosteroid production, possibly helping treat glioblastoma.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Urinary Steroids in Men with Male-Pattern Alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Androgenetic Alopecia And Hair Growth Promotion: Present And Future
Current research explores hair growth drugs, while future research aims for personalized treatments.
