research Overexpression of Aldo-Keto Reductase 1C3 in LNCaP Cells Diverts Androgen Metabolism Towards Testosterone Resulting in Resistance to the 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New steroidal compounds could be effective for treating conditions related to 5α-reductase enzyme activity.
research Targeting of CXXC5 by a Competing Peptide Stimulates Hair Regrowth and Wound-Induced Hair Neogenesis
Blocking a protein called CXXC5 with a specific peptide can stimulate hair regrowth and new hair growth in wounds.
research Inhibition of Rat 5α-Reductase Activity and Testosterone-Induced Sebum Synthesis in Hamster Sebocytes by an Extract of Quercus Acutissima Cortex
An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.
research Androgen Receptor Accelerates Premature Senescence of Human Dermal Papilla Cells in Association with DNA Damage
Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.
research Androgen Receptor in Rat Liver: Characterization and Separation from a Male-Specific Estrogen-Binding Protein
Male rats have androgen receptors in their liver, which are different from proteins that bind estrogen.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: A Disorder of Androgen Metabolism in Males
Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia may be caused by changes in how the body processes male hormones.
research The Antiandrogenic Effect of Finasteride Against a Mutant Androgen Receptor
Finasteride may improve prostate cancer treatment outcomes.
research Novel Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase
New research is needed to create better drugs that block the enzyme responsible for conditions like male baldness and prostate enlargement.
research Androgenic and Anti-Androgenic Effects of Progesterone Derivatives with Different Halogens as Substituents at the C-6 Position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Value of Hormonal Levels in Patients with Male Androgenetic Alopecia Treated with Finasteride: Better Response in Patients Under 26 Years Old
Finasteride works better for hair loss in patients 26 or younger.
research Mechanism of Salutary Effects of Finasteride on Post-Traumatic Immune/Inflammatory Response
Finasteride reduces inflammation and improves immune response after trauma by altering hormone levels.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
Antiandrogen therapy helps treat genetic hair loss.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta-Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone helps human pancreatic cells increase insulin release.
