research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Hyaluronic Acid-FGF2-Derived Peptide Bioconjugates for Suppression of FGFR2 and AR Simultaneously as an Acne Antagonist
The new anti-acne treatment HA-P5 effectively reduces acne by targeting two key receptors and avoids an enzyme that can hinder treatment.
research Synthesis and Bioactivity of New Finasteride Conjugate
New Finasteride conjugate improves prostate treatment and vital signs in rats.
research Anti-Androgen Therapy in Dermatology: A Review
Anti-androgens are effective for female acne but less so for male-pattern hair loss, with side effects similar to birth control pills.
research Cardiac Biopsy in Myocarditis
