January 2021 in “Asian pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine” The study concluded that Origanum vulgare L. leaf extract effectively alleviated oxidative stress in the liver and kidney of mice induced by finasteride.

Histopathological analysis confirmed these protective effects, indicating that Origanum vulgare extract could be a beneficial supplement for reducing oxidative stress and mitigating finasteride-induced hepatic and renal damage.
