Finasteride causes abnormal growth in male mice cells at high doses.
research Androgens
Testosterone is made by Leydig cells, is active when not bound to proteins, and works by binding to receptors in muscles and other tissues.
research Testosterone-Secreting Adrenal Adenoma Containing Crystalloids of Reinke in an Adult Female Patient
Leydig cells can cause testosterone-secreting adrenal tumors in women.
research Finasteride-Related Leydig Cell Tumor: Report of a Case and Literature Review
Finasteride use may be linked to rare testicular tumor, but more research needed.
research Intratesticular Control of Steroidogenesis
The testes control steroid production through complex interactions involving various cells and signaling molecules.
research Reproductive System, Male: Biology of Spermatogenesis and Toxicology
The document explains how sperm cells are produced, the role of testosterone in this process, and how toxins can reduce sperm count and fertility.
research 46,XY DSD Due to Impaired Androgen Production
Impaired androgen production in 46,XY DSDs causes ambiguous genitalia and requires long-term care.
research Basics of Androgen Synthesis and Action
Androgens like testosterone are important hormones for both men and women, made differently in each sex and affecting the body by regulating genes and quick interactions with cell components.
research Curcumin Derivatives Inhibit Testicular 17β-Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase 3
Curcumin and its derivatives can block an enzyme important for making testosterone, with one derivative being particularly strong.
research Physiological and Histological Study of the Effect of Finasteride Drug (Prostacare) on the Fertility of Albino Male Rats
Finasteride significantly reduces fertility in male rats.
research Testicular Steroidogenesis: Production and Regulation of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone
Genetic defects in testosterone production can cause hormonal and developmental disorders, and more research is needed to understand androgen regulation and develop safer treatments.
research Physiology of Testicular Function
The testes produce sperm and hormones essential for male development.
research Endocrine Functions of the Testes
The testes produce important hormones like testosterone and others that play key roles in male body functions.
research Finasteride and Male Fertility
Finasteride may decrease semen quality but not harm sperm production, and stopping the drug can improve semen quality; hyperprolactinemia can cause infertility but is treatable with medication.
research Testosterone: The Male Sex Hormone
More research is needed to understand how testosterone is maintained in adult males.

Finasteride may help treat Neutrophil Actin Dysfunction by reducing LSP1 gene activity.
research Epigenetic Effects of Finasteride on Dopaminergic Signaling Pathways: A Potential Contributor to Post-Finasteride Syndrome
Finasteride may cause changes in dopamine-related genes, possibly leading to post-finasteride syndrome.
research Effect of Rosemary Extract on Some Internal Organs of Young Male Albino Rats: A Histological Study
High doses of rosemary extract can harm the liver, kidneys, and reproductive organs in young rats.
research Leydig Cell Hyperplasia and Adenomas in Mice Treated with Finasteride, a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Possible Mechanism
