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 Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Human Type 3 5α-Reductase Is Expressed in Peripheral Tissues at Higher Levels Than Types 1 and 2 and Its Activity Is Potently Inhibited by Finasteride and Dutasteride
Type 3 5α-reductase is more common and finasteride and dutasteride strongly inhibit it.
research Azasteroids as Inhibitors of Testosterone 5α-Reductase in Mammalian Skin
Certain 4-azasteroids are effective at blocking the enzyme that processes testosterone in human skin and could help treat acne, excessive hair growth, and male pattern baldness.
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 Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5-Alpha-Reductase Activity in Human Gingival Fibroblasts in Response to Minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research Activity of Type 1 5α-Reductase Is Greater in the Follicular Infrainfundibulum Compared with the Epidermis
The enzyme type 1 5α-reductase is more active in the hair follicle's lower part than in the skin's outer layer.
research Clinical Use of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Expression of Type 1 5α-Reductase and Metabolism of Testosterone in Reconstructed Human Epidermis: A New Model for Screening Skin-Targeted Androgen Modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Trace Elements Content and Hormonal Profiles in Women with Androgenetic Alopecia
Women with AGA have more androstenedione and dihydrotestosterone, less copper and zinc; copper imbalance affects AGA; treatment improves hormones and minerals.
research Androgen Conjugates: Physiology and Clinical Significance
Androgen conjugates might be better indicators of skin sensitivity to hormones in women with excessive hair growth.
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 Biosynthesis of Dihydrotestosterone by a Pathway That Does Not Require Testosterone as an Intermediate in the SZ95 Sebaceous Gland Cell Line
Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.
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 Female Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Hair loss in women can be slowed with treatment, but more research needed for better solutions.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Progress and Therapeutic Potential
5α-reductase inhibitors help treat disorders caused by DHT and have potential for future therapies.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride improves hair growth in men with androgenetic alopecia.
research Recent Advances in Drug Design and Drug Discovery for Androgen-Dependent Diseases
New treatments for prostate cancer and BPH show promise, including novel compounds that target hormone synthesis and response.
research Prolonged Use of Finasteride-Induced Gonadal Sex Steroids Alterations, DNA Damage, and Menstrual Bleeding in Women
Long-term use of finasteride in women can cause hormonal changes, DNA damage, and menstrual issues.
research Gender Differences in Production and Circulating Levels of Sex Hormones and Their Impact on Aging Skin
Men and women experience skin aging differently due to changes in sex hormone levels with age.
research Effects of Subchronic Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal on Neuroactive Steroid Levels and Their Receptors in the Male Rat Brain
Finasteride treatment changes brain steroid levels and receptors, affecting brain function even after stopping treatment.
research Androgen Excess: Investigations and Management
The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.
research Managing Cutaneous Manifestations of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Birth control pills help treat skin and hair growth problems linked to high male hormone levels.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
