This study reports the purification of a specific sulphotransferase from rat liver that catalyzes the sulphation of minoxidil, potentially implicating it in minoxidil's bioactivation.

This review highlights the challenges in screening for steroid 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors and discusses significant variability in the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride, calling for standardized testing methods to develop safer, more specific inhibitors from herbal preparations.

This review highlights that sexual dysfunction associated with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors is recognized in clinical literature, with erectile dysfunction being the most common adverse effect, followed by ejaculatory dysfunction and decreased libido.

This study explored how modifying the 8-substituent of 8-bromobenzoquinolinone affects its selectivity in inhibiting both 5 alpha-reductase isozymes in the scalp.

In this study, indications for monotherapy with 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors, such as finasteride and herbal drugs, were developed based on clinical and morphological changes in patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia.

This study found that treatment with cyproterone acetate and estradiol improved emotional well-being and acceptance of being viewed among women with hirsutism, with no significant differences between oral and transdermal estradiol groups.

This study found that while Bioré pore strips effectively removed microcomedones and trichostatic bundles on the nose without causing irritation, they were less effective than cyanoacrylate extraction.

This study found that the ethanol extract of Sterculia urceolata and its fractions stimulated hair growth in male rabbits, with a 15% concentration of the water fraction showing the most significant effect.

Oral minoxidil significantly reduces hair shedding in women with chronic telogen effluvium.

This study found that topical application of Serenoa repens extract increased hair count in men with androgenetic alopecia, suggesting it could be an alternative for those unable to use standard medications.

This paper introduces a framework attributing Post-SSRI, Post-Finasteride, Post-Retinoid, and an unnamed sexual dysfunction syndrome to downregulated estrogen receptor activity, potentially guiding future treatments in sexual medicine.

This study suggests that synthetic steroid analogues or 5α-reductase modulation could be potential therapeutic strategies for nervous system disorders, but further research on their effects is necessary.

This article reviews the reported sexual and psychological side effects of 5-alpha reductase inhibitors for benign prostatic hyperplasia, emphasizing the need for further clinical studies.

Finasteride effectively lowers specific hormone levels, helping monitor treatment progress.

This study found that retinoic acid and a retinol complex formulation showed different permeation and compound localization in a skin equivalent model, with unique lipid changes observed with only the retinol formulation.

This study found that adolescent men in Ireland are more likely to prefer keeping a baby over abortion in a hypothetical unplanned pregnancy, influenced by their anticipated regret and perceived familial attitudes.

This article describes a new synthesis method for finasteride that reduces the use of costly and toxic reagents, making it more suitable for large-scale production, but reports no clinical results.

This study found that finasteride effectively inhibits the enzymatic activity of human steroid 5 alpha reductase type II in newly established CHO cell lines.

This study found that cyproterone acetate treatment improved quality of life and reduced anxiety and depressive symptoms in women with skin manifestations of hyperandrogenism.

This source describes clascoterone, a new topical treatment for acne vulgaris that blocks androgen receptors to reduce sebaceous gland activity and inflammation, offering a lower risk of systemic side effects compared to oral treatments.

In this case study, treatment with methylene blue successfully improved blood pressure in a patient with refractory vasodilatory shock due to massive minoxidil ingestion, highlighting its potential as an adjunctive therapy.

PrEP doesn't increase STI risk in high-risk men, anti-androgen drugs may lower ICU admission for male COVID-19 patients, a 3-point injection is better for crow's feet, and the 'Geriatric-8' tool could help assess frailty in older skin cancer patients.

In this study, researchers found that female rats exhibited more pronounced panic-related escape behavior during hypoxia, particularly in the diestrus phase, and that low-dose fluoxetine reduced this behavior, suggesting its potential for managing panic disorder symptoms related to hormonal cycles in women.

In this study, cyproterone acetate was found to be effective in treating 'idiopathic' hirsutism, while a combination of ethinyloestradiol and lynoestrenol reduced hair growth in fewer patients despite uniformly lowering testosterone levels.

Taking medication for hair loss might cause sexual problems.

A new, less toxic and more efficient method to create the anti-baldness compound RU58841 was developed in 2014.

The project aims to validate a nutritional intervention targeting the Redox–NO–Androgen Axis to restore mitochondrial, endothelial, and hormonal balance in male health disorders related to oxidative stress.
