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.
research Inhibitory Activities of Some Traditional Chinese Herbs Against Testosterone 5α-Reductase and Effects of Cacumen Platycladi on Hair Regrowth in Testosterone-Treated Mice
Certain Chinese herbs, especially Cacumen platycladi, can promote hair regrowth and reduce hair loss-related hormone levels in mice.
research Human Gene Correlation Analysis: A Tool for the Identification of Transcriptionally Co-Expressed Genes
The HGCA tool helps identify genes that work together by analyzing their co-expression patterns.
research Management of Androgenetic Alopecia
Treatments for common hair loss include minoxidil, finasteride, and hair transplantation.
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 The Role of Non-Aromatizable Testosterone Metabolite in Metabolic Pathways
Normal levels of DHT can reduce belly fat and increase muscle, but too much can lead to hair loss, prostate issues, and possibly heart disease.
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 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Chemical and Clinical Models
Researchers developed a model to predict how well certain compounds can block an enzyme related to hair loss and prostate issues, suggesting a 50 mg dose of finasteride might be effective based on lab and body data.
research The New Paradigm for Androgenetic Alopecia and Plant-Based Folk Remedies: 5α-Reductase Inhibition, Reversal of Secondary Microinflammation, and Improving Insulin Resistance
Plant-based remedies may treat hair loss by reducing inflammation and improving insulin resistance.
