research Antiandrogens and Androgen Inhibitors in Dermatologic Treatments
Antiandrogens and androgen inhibitors like spironolactone, finasteride, and dutasteride can treat hair loss and skin conditions, but they have risks and side effects, including potential harm to pregnant women and risks of cancer and heart issues. Herbal remedies also have antiandrogenic effects but lack safety validation.
research Do 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Raise Circulating Serum Testosterone Levels? A Comprehensive Review and Meta-Analysis Explaining Paradoxical Results
5α-Reductase inhibitors do not consistently increase testosterone levels in the blood.
research Comparative Efficacy of Topical Finasteride (0.25%) in Combination With Minoxidil (5%) Against 5% Minoxidil or 0.25% Finasteride Alone in Male Androgenetic Alopecia: A Pilot, Randomized Open-Label Study
Using both minoxidil and finasteride together is more effective for male hair loss than using either one alone.
research Suicidal Risk Associated With Finasteride Versus Dutasteride Among Men Treated for Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia: Nationwide Cohort Study
Finasteride may increase the risk of suicide or severe self-harm in men with mood disorders but not in the general population.

Isoallopregnanolone may be a safe and effective treatment for reducing tics in a mouse model of Tourette syndrome.
research Medical Treatment Regimens of Hirsutism
Low-dose anti-androgen drugs and certain drug combinations are effective for hirsutism, and insulin sensitizers show promise, especially for those with polycystic ovarian syndrome.
research Expression of Type 1 5α-Reductase and Metabolism of Testosterone in Reconstructed Human Epidermis: A New Model for Screening Skin-Targeted Androgen Modulators
The study created a new method to test drugs that affect hormone processing in skin.
research Change in Hair Growth-Related Gene Expression Profile in Human Isolated Hair Follicles Induced by 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors – Dutasteride and Finasteride – in the Presence of Testosterone
Dutasteride and finasteride can help increase hair growth gene expression but need further improvement.
research The Effects of Methylated Flavonoids on Depression-Like Activity and Pro-Inflammatory Cytokine Thresholds in Mice Induced by Repeated Finasteride Administration
