A man's breast enlargement from low-dose finasteride for hair loss didn't go away, even with treatment, and might be more common than reported.
research Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry Based Hair Steroid Profiling May Reveal Pathogenesis in Hair Follicles of the Scalp
Analyzing hair with this method can help understand and monitor scalp conditions and treatment effects.
research A Systematic Review of Topical Finasteride in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia in Men and Women
Topical finasteride reduces hair loss and promotes hair growth in men and women.
research Notes from the Editor Emeritus: Medical Therapy for Hair Loss: What We Know and What We Need to Find Out
Minoxidil and finasteride are effective for male hair loss; minoxidil also helps female hair loss, with some treatments needing more research.
research Dihydrotestosterone-Inducible Dickkopf 1 from Balding Dermal Papilla Cells Causes Apoptosis in Follicular Keratinocytes
A substance called DKK-1 increases in balding areas and causes hair cells to die when exposed to DHT.
research Increased Scalp Skin and Serum 5a-Reductase Reduced Androgens in a Man Relevant to the Acquired Progressive Kinky Hair Disorder and Developing Androgenetic Alopecia
Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.
research Epigallocatechin Gallate-Mediated Alteration of the MicroRNA Expression Profile in 5α-Dihydrotestosterone-Treated Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Green tea component EGCG may help prevent hair loss by changing microRNA levels in certain scalp cells.
research Establishment of SV40T-Transformed Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Identification of Dihydrotestosterone-Regulated Genes by cDNA Microarray
Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.
research The Genetics of Androgenetic Alopecia
Genes and hormones cause hair loss, with four genes contributing equally.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research How Effective Is Finasteride Treatment Against Hereditary Male Pattern Baldness
Finasteride treatment slows down hair loss, boosts hair growth, and may increase hair thickness or length, but it can cause side effects like decreased libido and depression in less than 1% of people.
research Therapeutic Effect of Botulinum Toxin on Scalp Alopecia: Physiopathology and Reported Cases - A Systematic Review
Botulinum toxin's effectiveness for treating scalp alopecia is not well-supported due to insufficient data.
research The Peptide AC 2 Isolated from Bacillus-Treated Trapa Japonica Fruit Extract Rescues DHT-Treated Human Dermal Papilla Cells and Mediates mTORC1 Signaling for Autophagy and Apoptosis Suppression
The AC 2 peptide from Trapa japonica fruit helps protect hair cells and may treat hair loss.
research DHT and E2 Synthesis-Related Proteins and Receptors Expression in Male Yak Skin During Different Hair Follicle Stages
Male yak hair growth is influenced by DHT synthesis, which is promoted by 5α-red1 and AR during growth phases, while E2 may inhibit growth through ERα.
research Immunohistochemical Localization of Types 1 and 2 5α-Reductase in Human Scalp
The study found that two enzymes linked to hair loss are located in different parts of the scalp, supporting a common treatment's effectiveness.
research Safety Aspects of Androgen Treatment with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Dihydrotestosterone Inhibits Hair Growth in Mice by Inhibiting Insulin-Like Growth Factor-I Production in Dermal Papillae
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) stops hair growth in mice by lowering a growth factor important for hair.
research Effects of Dihydrotestosterone on Rat Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research PNU 157706, A Novel Dual Type I and II 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
PNU 157706 is a more effective treatment than finasteride for conditions caused by DHT, like enlarged prostate and hair loss.
research Analysis of the MicroRNA Expression Profile of Normal Human Dermal Papilla Cells Treated with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT affects hair follicle cells by changing microRNA levels, leading to less cell growth and more cell death.
research Physiology and Medical Treatments for Alopecia
Minoxidil, finasteride, and low-level laser light therapy are effective FDA-approved treatments for hair loss.
research Novel Agents for the Treatment of Alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise, especially finasteride for men and a stronger minoxidil formula.
research URB Expression in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
The gene URB is more active in human hair growth cells and responds to a hair-related hormone.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Overview
AGA is a genetic, hormonal hair loss treated with finasteride, minoxidil, and supplements, but new compounds are being developed.
research The Clinical Development of a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, Finasteride

research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Update
Minoxidil and finasteride effectively treat hair loss.
research Clinical Relevance of Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone Metabolism in Women
Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.
research Identification of Androgen-Regulated Genes in SV40-Transformed Human Hair Dermal Papilla Cells
Hsc70 protein may influence hair growth by responding to androgens.
research Alopecia: Managing the Basics
The document concludes that treatments for female hair loss and excess body hair are available, but managing expectations is important.
