research Selective Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
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 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Prostatic Disease
5α-Reductase inhibitors can help treat hair loss, acne, and prostate issues by reducing DHT levels.
research Novel Uses for the Anabolic Androgenic Steroids Nandrolone and Oxandrolone in the Management of Male Health
Nandrolone and oxandrolone could help treat male health issues like muscle loss and low testosterone.
research Effects of Topical Application of EGCG on Testosterone-Induced Hair Loss in a Mouse Model
Applying EGCG on the skin can prevent hair loss caused by testosterone in mice.
research Urinary Steroids in Men with Male-Pattern Alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research 5α-Reductase Activity in the Human Hair Follicle Concentrates in the Dermal Papilla
The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.
research Stauntonia Hexaphylla Extract Ameliorates Androgenic Alopecia by Inhibiting Androgen Signaling in Testosterone-Induced Alopecia Mice
Stauntonia hexaphylla extract can help treat hair loss by blocking certain hormones.
research 17β-Estradiol Enhances Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor Production and Dihydrotestosterone Antagonizes the Enhancement via the Regulation of Adenylate Cyclase in Differentiated THP-1 Cells
Estrogen increases blood vessel growth factor production, while testosterone blocks this increase.
research Genome-Wide Association Study Identifies a New Locus JMJD1C at 10q21 That May Influence Serum Androgen Levels in Men
A new gene, JMJD1C, may affect testosterone levels in men.
research Antiandrogenic Activities of Glycyrrhiza Glabra in Male Rats
Liquorice may reduce testosterone and affect male reproductive organs, potentially helping treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Three-Month Treatment With a Long-Acting Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone Agonist of Patients With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Effects on Tissue Androgen Concentration, 5α-Reductase Activity and Androgen Receptor Content
A three-month treatment with a GnRH agonist significantly lowered androgen levels and 5α-reductase activity in men with benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Differential Expression of miR-93 and miR-21 in Granulosa Cells and Follicular Fluid of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Associating with Different Phenotypes
The study found that certain microRNAs are higher in the cells and lower in the fluid of women with a specific type of polycystic ovary syndrome, and one microRNA could potentially help diagnose the condition.
research Effects of Pre- and Post-Pubertal Dihydrotestosterone Treatment on Penile Length in 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency
Dihydrotestosterone treatment can help penis growth in boys with 5α-reductase deficiency but doesn't fully normalize size after puberty.
research Management of Hirsutism Associated With Obese PCOD: A Case Report
Ayurvedic treatment, exercise, and a healthy diet can effectively manage PCOD symptoms.
research Species Differences in Prostatic Steroid 5α-Reductases of Rat, Dog, and Human
Different animals have unique versions of the enzyme that changes testosterone into another hormone, which is important for creating effective treatments for prostate and hair loss conditions.
research Effects of In Utero Exposure to Finasteride on Androgen-Dependent Reproductive Development in Male Rats
Exposure to finasteride in the womb caused lasting reproductive issues in male rats.
research Hair Follicles and Associated Glands as Androgen Targets
Androgens like testosterone affect hair growth and oil production differently across body parts and individuals.
research The Effect of 5-Reductase Inhibitors on Erectile Function
5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.
