Creating stronger blockers for skin enzymes might lead to better treatment for conditions like acne and excessive hair growth.
research Effects of Sex Steroid Deprivation and Administration on Hair Growth and Skin Sebum Production in Transsexual Males and Females
Hormone treatments in transsexual individuals reduce hair growth and oil production in male-to-females and increase them in female-to-males.
research Neuroactive Steroid Levels Are Modified in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma of Post-Finasteride Patients Showing Persistent Sexual Side Effects and Anxious/Depressive Symptomatology
Finasteride use changes brain chemicals, causing lasting sexual issues and anxiety/depression.
research Patients Treated for Male Pattern Hair Loss with Finasteride Show Altered Levels of Neuroactive Steroids in Cerebrospinal Fluid and Plasma After Discontinuation
Finasteride affects brain and blood steroids, causing lasting sexual and emotional side effects.
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 Characteristics of Men Who Report Persistent Sexual Symptoms After Finasteride Use for Hair Loss
Finasteride for hair loss may cause persistent sexual symptoms, depression, anxiety, and lower quality of life.
research Progesterone Enhances Ethanol-Induced Modulation of Mesocortical Dopamine Neurons: Antagonism by Finasteride
