research Progressive Expression of PPARGC1α Is Associated with Hair Miniaturization in Androgenetic Alopecia
Increased PPARGC1α relates to hair thinning in common baldness.
research Male-Pattern Baldness, Common Latent Viruses, and Microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Update on Etiology
AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.
research Mitotic Activity in the Epidermis of the Rabbit Stimulated with Local Applications of Testosterone Propionate
Testosterone applied to rabbit skin increases skin cell growth and changes skin structure.
research Oral Testosterone in Oil: Pharmacokinetic Effects of 5α-Reduction by Finasteride or Dutasteride and Food Intake in Men
Taking oral testosterone with finasteride or dutasteride doubles testosterone levels, and food slightly affects it.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Current Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
TURP is the best treatment for BPH, but some patients prefer medications like alpha-blockers and finasteride.
research Topical Minoxidil in the Treatment of Male Pattern Alopecia
Minoxidil can help thicken hair in some people with male pattern baldness, especially if used early and continuously.
research Exogenous Testosterone, Finasteride, and Castration Effects on Testosterone, Insulin, Zinc, and Chromium in Adult Male Rats
Testosterone and finasteride raise insulin and zinc, lower chromium in male rats.
research Proliferative Necrotizing Otitis Externa in Two Young Cats
Two young cats with a severe ear and skin condition improved with immune system-targeting treatments.
research Molecular Mechanisms of Androgenetic Alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: A Review
Male pattern baldness involves genetics, hormones, and needs better treatments.
research The Role of Androgen and Androgen Receptor in Skin-Related Disorders
Targeting androgen receptors could be a promising way to treat skin disorders with fewer side effects.
research The Effects of Transdermal Dihydrotestosterone in the Aging Male: A Prospective, Randomized, Double-Blind Study

research Inhibition of Rat Alpha-Reductases by Finasteride: Evidence for Isozyme Differences in the Mechanism of Inhibition
Finasteride effectively blocks rat enzymes, but with varying methods and strength.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Animal Models of Androgen-Dependent Disorders of the Pilosebaceous Apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
research Leydig Cell Hyperplasia and Adenomas in Mice Treated with Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Possible Mechanism
High doses of finasteride cause cell growth and tumors in mice.
research The Effects of Androgens on T Cells: Clues to Female Predominance in Autoimmune Liver Diseases

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 New Progesterone Esters as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Molecular Interactions of New Pregnenedione Derivatives
The new progesterone derivatives effectively inhibit 5α-reductase and bind to the androgen receptor.
