5α-reductase inhibitors increase the risk of sexual dysfunction, especially in men with enlarged prostate.
research Female Pattern Hair Loss: A Review Article
Female pattern hair loss is common, linked to polycystic ovarian syndrome, and treated with topical Minoxidil.
research Steroidogenesis Inhibitors Alter But Do Not Eliminate Androgen Synthesis Mechanisms During Progression to Castration-Resistance in LNCaP Prostate Xenografts
Steroidogenesis inhibitors change but don't stop androgen production in prostate cancer.
research The Role of Oral Contraceptives in the Treatment of Hyperandrogenic Disorders
Oral contraceptives help treat hyperandrogenic disorders, improving symptoms like excessive hair and acne.
research Peripheral Androgens And The Role Of Androstanediol Glucuronide
Androstanediol glucuronide is a reliable marker for hirsutism in women.
research The Dihydrotestosterone Hypothesis of Prostate Cancer and Its Therapeutic Implications
The document suggests that targeting the hormone DHT could be a more effective treatment for prostate cancer than targeting testosterone.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
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 Nipple Differentiation in Fetal Male Rats Treated with an Inhibitor of the Enzyme 5α-Reductase: Definition of a Selective Role for Dihydrotestosterone
Blocking a specific enzyme in male rat fetuses leads to the development of nipples and feminized genitalia.
research Inhibition of 5α-Reductase, IL-6 Secretion, and Oxidation Process of Equisetum Debile Extract as Functional Food and Nutraceutical Ingredients
Equisetum debile extract, especially the ethyl acetate type, may be a promising natural ingredient for anti-hair loss products.
research New Investigational Drugs for Androgenetic Alopecia
Possible new treatments for common hair loss include drugs, stem cells, and improved transplants.
research Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
research Idiopathic Hirsutism: Androgen Role and Treatment Options
The document concludes that more research is needed to understand excessive hair growth in women with normal hormone levels and regular ovulation.
research Hair: What Is New in Diagnosis and Management?
Female pattern hair loss diagnosed by scalp appearance, treated with combined therapies and targeted approaches.
research 5α-Reduced Glucocorticoids: A Story of Natural Selection
Natural 5α-reduced glucocorticoids might be anti-inflammatory with fewer side effects than current options.
research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin
The study found that the enzyme linked to acne is present in the same areas of both acne-affected and normal skin.
research Review of Treatment for Alopecia Totalis and Alopecia Universalis
No treatment is completely effective for alopecia totalis and alopecia universalis.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
We need to learn more about 5α-reductases and neuroactive steroids to safely make drugs targeting these enzymes.
research Anti-Androgenic Effect of Sesquiterpenes Isolated from the Rhizomes of Curcuma Aeruginosa Roxb.
Germacrone from Curcuma aeruginosa may help treat conditions related to male hormones by blocking a specific enzyme.
research Anabolic Effects of Testosterone Are Preserved During Inhibition of 5α-Reductase
Testosterone can build muscle and bone without enlarging the prostate when a specific enzyme is blocked.
research Therapeutic Strategies for Treating Hair Loss
The conclusion is that we need more effective hair loss treatments than the current ones, and these could include new drugs, gene and stem cell therapy, hormones, and scalp cooling, but they all need thorough safety testing.
