research Clinical Biochemistry of Dihydrotestosterone
Understanding how DHT works is important for diagnosing and treating hormone-related disorders.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors in Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride and dutasteride effectively treat hair loss in men and women, but may cause side effects like low libido and depression.
research Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase-Related Side Effects in Patients Seeking Medical Care for Sexual Dysfunction
5α-reductase inhibitors may worsen sexual drive and spontaneous erections but don't worsen existing erectile or ejaculatory problems.
research Effects of the Anti-Androgen Finasteride on 5α-Reduction of Androgens in the Presence of Progesterone in Human Gingival Fibroblasts: Modulatory Actions of the Alkaline Phosphatase Inhibitor Levamisole
Finasteride reduces testosterone conversion, progesterone lessens this, and levamisole enhances finasteride's effect.
research Pharmacological Therapeutics in Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for treating hair loss, with dutasteride showing potential but with side effects.
research Finasteride
Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.
research Safety and Tolerability of the Dual 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitor Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Dutasteride is safe and effective for treating hair loss, but may decrease libido.
research Finasteride Improves Motor, EEG, and Cellular Changes in Rat Brain in Thioacetamide-Induced Hepatic Encephalopathy
Finasteride helps brain function in rats with liver-related brain issues.
research Combination Therapy With Finasteride and Low-Dose Dutasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia

research Development of Finasteride Polymer Microspheres for Systemic Application in Androgenic Alopecia
Finasteride microspheres help reduce hair loss for up to eight weeks with fewer side effects.
research Development of a Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry-Based Inhibition Assay for Screening Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase in Human and Fish Cell Lines
A new method was created to test the effectiveness of Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) inhibitors, like finasteride and dutasteride, in human and fish cells. The results showed fish cells are more sensitive to these treatments, and dutasteride works better than finasteride in all tested cells.
research The Possible Role of Prescribing Medications in Contributing to Male-Factor Infertility: Assessment of the FDA Pharmacovigilance Database
Some medications might contribute to male infertility, with finasteride showing a high number of reports.
