research A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial to Determine the Effectiveness of Botanically Derived Inhibitors of 5-Alpha-Reductase in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Natural 5AR inhibitors effectively improve mild to moderate hair loss in men.
research The 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride Is Not Associated With Alterations in Sleep Spindles in Men Referred for Polysomnography
Finasteride doesn't affect sleep spindles in men.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Trends in the Development of New Drugs for the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia
New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed to be more effective and have fewer side effects.
research Androgenic and Anti-Androgenic Effects of Progesterone Derivatives with Different Halogens as Substituents at the C-6 Position
Different halogens on progesterone derivatives can either block or mimic male hormone effects, depending on their type and amount.
research Selections from Current Literature: Androgenetic Alopecia - The Science Behind a New Oral Treatment
New oral treatment, finasteride, effectively and safely treats common hair loss.
research Transfollicular Enhancement of Gel Containing Cationic Niosomes Loaded with Unsaturated Fatty Acids in Rice Bran Semi-Purified Fraction
The gel with special fat-loaded particles from rice bran could be an effective skin treatment for hair loss.
research Marked Suppression of Dihydrotestosterone in Men with Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia by Dutasteride, a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
Dutasteride more effectively lowers DHT levels in men with enlarged prostates than finasteride.
research Mechanism of Action of Avicennia Marina Heartwood Extract and Avicequinone C on Human Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated from Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.
research The Role of Dutasteride in the Treatment of Benign Prostatic Obstruction and Related Conditions
Dutasteride effectively treats benign prostatic obstruction, improves urinary flow, reduces prostate size, and may prevent prostate cancer, but can cause sexual side effects.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Causes, Diagnosis, and Treatment Options
Hair loss from genetics and hormones can be treated with drugs or surgery.
research Androgenetic Alopecia and Microinflammation
Inflammation may be linked to hair loss, and targeting specific enzymes could help treat it.
research Dutasteride
Dutasteride effectively treats enlarged prostate, reduces prostate cancer risk, and promotes hair regrowth with few side effects.
research Pre-Receptor Regulation of the Androgen Receptor
Two enzymes regulate androgen receptor activity, affecting treatments for androgen insufficiency and benign prostatic hyperplasia.
research Mechanistic Synergy of Hair Growth Promotion by the Avicennia Marina Extract and Its Active Constituent Avicequinone C in Dermal Papilla Cells Isolated From Androgenic Alopecia Patients
Avicennia marina extract and avicequinone C can potentially promote hair growth and treat hair loss by interfering with hair loss mechanisms and boosting growth factors.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Hormonal Prevention of Prostate Cancer
Suppressing certain hormones might help prevent prostate cancer.
research Prolonged Use of Finasteride-Induced Gonadal Sex Steroids Alterations, DNA Damage, and Menstrual Bleeding in Women
Long-term use of finasteride in women can cause hormonal changes, DNA damage, and menstrual issues.
research Hydroxysteroid Dehydrogenase (17β-HSD3, 17β-HSD5, and 3α-HSD3) Inhibitors: Extragonadal Regulation of Intracellular Sex Steroid Hormone Levels
Certain inhibitors can potentially treat prostate cancer and other hormone-dependent conditions by controlling sex hormone levels in cells.
research Ovine Placental Steroid Synthesis and Metabolism in Late Gestation
Diet changes hormone levels in pregnant ewes by affecting metabolism, not placental synthesis.
research Androgens and Hair: A Biological Paradox with Clinical Consequences
Androgens can both increase body hair and cause scalp hair loss.
research Dihydrotestosterone Induces Proliferation, Migration, and Invasion of Human Glioblastoma Cell Lines
Dihydrotestosterone increases growth and spread of human brain cancer cells, and blocking its formation might help treat this cancer.
research Genomic Markers and Personalized Medicine in Androgenetic Alopecia: A Comprehensive Review
Personalized treatments for hair loss are becoming more effective by using genetic information.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Aldo-Keto Reductase (AKR) 1C3 Inhibitors: A Patent Review
The review suggests that while many AKR1C3 inhibitors show promise for treating certain cancers, more research is needed to confirm their effectiveness in humans.
