The composition with carnitine, thioctic acid, and saw palmetto extract may effectively reduce inflammation in hair follicle cells.
research Pharmacokinetic Parameters and Mechanisms of Inhibition of Rat Type 1 and 2 Steroid 5α-Reductases: Determinants for Different In Vivo Activities of GI198745 and Finasteride in the Rat
GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
research New Progesterone Esters as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Some new progesterone derivatives are better at blocking testosterone conversion than a common drug.
research Alopecia: Unapproved Treatments or Indications
Many treatments for hair loss lack proper testing and FDA approval, so their effectiveness is uncertain.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Progesterone-Induced Stimulation of Mammary Tumorigenesis Is Due to the Progesterone Metabolite, 5α-Dihydroprogesterone (5αP), and Can Be Suppressed by the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride
Progesterone byproduct 5αP stimulates mammary tumor growth, but finasteride can suppress it.
research Disease Versus Disease: How One Disease May Ameliorate Another
Some diseases can improve the outcomes of other diseases, leading to new treatment possibilities.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells In Vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride
Different skin cells process testosterone differently, and certain drugs can change this process, possibly helping treat acne and hair loss.
research Effects of Finasteride on Apoptosis and Regulation of the Human Hair Cycle
Finasteride affects hair growth by changing caspase and XIAP levels, potentially treating hair diseases.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Adjuncts to Scalp Reduction Surgery: Intraoperative Tissue Expanders and Hyaluronidase
Using tissue expanders and hyaluronidase in scalp reduction surgery allows for more scalp removal and easier surgery.
research The Steroidogenesis Inhibitor Finasteride Reduces the Response to Both Stressful and Rewarding Stimuli
Finasteride reduces response to stress and rewards, affecting behavior and mental health.
research Medical Treatment of Non-Scarring Alopecia
Minoxidil and finasteride can help with hair loss, but more research is needed to improve treatments for certain types of hair loss.
research Expression of Androgen Receptor Coactivator ARA70/ELE1 in Androgenic Alopecia
The protein ARA70/ELE1 is involved in male pattern baldness, and lower levels of its short form may lead to hair thinning.
research Betaine Supplementation Is Less Effective Than Methionine Restriction in Correcting Phenotypes of CBS Deficient Mice
Methionine restriction works better than betaine for treating CBS deficiency symptoms in mice.
research Aromatase Inhibitors Induce Male Pattern Hair Loss in Women
Aromatase inhibitors cause male pattern hair loss in women.
