research Development and Evaluation of Antisense shRNA-Encoding Plasmid Loaded Solid Lipid Nanoparticles Against 5-Alpha Reductase Activity
The new particle system could be a promising treatment for diseases related to the 5-α reductase enzyme.
research A Prospective Randomized Trial Comparing Finasteride to Spironolactone in the Treatment of Hirsute Women
Finasteride and spironolactone both reduce hirsutism, but finasteride lowers androgen levels more.
research Clinical and Endocrine Effects of Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism
Finasteride reduces hairiness and androgen levels in women with unexplained excessive hair growth.
research Androgens in Women: Role in Androgen-Mediated Cutaneous Disorders
Androgens play a complex role in skin conditions like acne and hair loss in women, and normal blood levels don't always show true androgen status.
research Rat Steroid 5α-Reductase Kinetic Characteristics: Extreme pH-Dependency of the Type II Isozyme in Prostate and Epididymis Homogenates
The activity of a specific rat enzyme in the prostate and epididymis is highly dependent on the acidity level.
research Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
People with PCOS, especially if obese, often have NAFLD, linked to obesity, insulin resistance, and high androgen levels.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Autosomal Dominant Disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research The Therapeutic Use of Androgens in Women
Testosterone replacement may improve sexual desire and bone health in women with low androgen levels, but more research is needed on its long-term safety.
research Differential Diagnosis of Hyperandrogenism in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that accurately identifying the cause of high androgen levels in women with PCOS is crucial and requires specific tests.
research Genetic Variants Associated with Hyperandrogenemia in PCOS Pathophysiology
