Blocking the enzyme 5α-reductase can shrink the prostate and help treat enlarged prostate issues.

AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.

The document concludes that the 5 alpha-reductase enzymes are important in steroid metabolism and related to various human diseases, with inhibitors used to treat conditions like male pattern baldness and prostate issues.

Oral antiandrogens effectively treat female hair loss, with better results in higher hair loss grades.

Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.

Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.

Testosterone's muscle-building effects do not require its conversion to DHT.

The human type II 5α-reductase gene, linked to certain male health conditions, has a specific structure and low similarity to other related genes.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

Finasteride and minoxidil are effective for hair regrowth, while treatments for alopecia areata have varying success and continuous treatment is necessary.

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.

Hormones and metabolism play a complex role in prostate enlargement, and more research is needed to improve diagnosis and treatment.

5α‐reductase isozymes are crucial for prostate development and health, and targeting them can help prevent and treat prostate issues.

Testosterone supplements can increase muscle mass and strength in older men with low levels, but long-term effects and risks need more research.

New hormonal contraceptives are safer, have fewer side effects, and offer health benefits for women.

The conclusion is that managing androgen excess requires long-term treatment, including hormonal contraceptives and androgen blockers, with follow-up after six months.

Androgenetic alopecia involves genetics, hormones, and can be treated with medications or surgery.

Mesenchymal stem cells show potential for skin healing and anti-aging, but more research is needed for safe use, especially regarding stem cells from induced pluripotent sources.

Dutasteride and finasteride do not significantly affect bone density, blood fats, or blood production, but slightly lower PSA levels and minimally impact sexual function in healthy young men.

Minoxidil and finasteride treat hair loss; more research needed for other options.
