research Clinical Use of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
Finasteride effectively treats hair loss and enlarged prostate in men, with mild side effects.
research Marked Suppression of Dihydrotestosterone in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Dutasteride, a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
research Finasteride in the Treatment of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride safely and effectively treats male pattern hair loss, but may cause reversible sexual issues and harm male fetuses.
research The Basic Science of Hair Biology
Hair disorders are caused by a complex mix of biology, genetics, hormones, and environmental factors, affecting hair growth and leading to conditions like alopecia.
research Kinetic Analysis of LY320236: Competitive Inhibitor of Type I and Non-Competitive Inhibitor of Type II Human Steroid 5α-Reductase
