research Negative Impact of Testosterone Deficiency and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Therapy on Metabolic and Sexual Function in Men
Low testosterone and 5α-reductase inhibitors can harm men's metabolic and sexual health; testosterone therapy may help, but discussing 5α-RIs' side effects is important.
research The TFIID Subunit TAF4 Regulates Keratinocyte Proliferation and Has Cell-Autonomous and Non-Cell-Autonomous Tumor Suppressor Activity in Mouse Epidermis
TAF4 is important for skin cell growth and helps prevent skin cancer in mice.
research Finasteride: The First 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and baldness, but may cause limited urinary improvement and sex-related side effects.
research Recent Advances in the Chemistry and Pharmacological Activity of New Steroidal Antiandrogens and 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.
research Discovery of Natural Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
Natural herbal compounds might treat certain medical conditions by reducing DHT levels, but more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness and safety.
research Dermatologic Manifestations of Endocrine Disorders
Skin problems can be signs of hormone-related disorders and recognizing them early is important for treatment.
research The Evaluation and Management of Hirsutism
Hirsutism in women often indicates a hormonal imbalance and can be managed with a combination of hormonal treatments and hair removal methods.
research 5α-Metabolism in Finasteride-Treated Subjects and Male Pseudohermaphrodites with Inherited 5α-Reductase Deficiency
Finasteride lowers DHT levels and raises testosterone in a dose-dependent way.
research Hair and Nail Disorders of Childhood
The document concludes that various childhood hair and nail disorders exist, some may improve on their own, and advances in genetics and immunology could enhance treatment and counseling.
research Expression and Cellular Localization of Keratinocyte Growth Factor and Its Receptor in Human Hyperplastic Prostate Tissue

research In Vitro and In Vivo Effects of 17β-N-(4-Phenylcarbamoyl) Androst-4-en-3-one Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors on Androgen-Dependent Glands
Three compounds were found to inhibit a prostate disease-related enzyme and reduce prostate size more effectively than the current treatment, suggesting they could be used for treating benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research A Homozygous Single T Deletion Found in the GGCX Gene with PXE-Like Phenotypes
A gene mutation worsens skin irritation in mice due to a lack of certain fats.
research Secondary Cicatricial and Other Permanent Alopecias
