Better hair loss models needed for research.
research Female Hirsutism: Pathophysiological Considerations and Therapeutic Implications
Excessive hair growth in women often has no known cause and is not linked to race or other hormonal symptoms.
research A Prospective, Randomized Trial Comparing Flutamide (250 mg/d) and Finasteride (5 mg/d) in the Treatment of Hirsutism
Flutamide reduces hair growth better but has more side effects.
research Comprehensive Overview of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is a common condition in women that can cause metabolic, reproductive, and psychological issues, and requires lifestyle changes and medication for management.
research Hair Loss During Menopause: Solutions to the Problem
Selenzin Peptide Active can effectively treat hair loss in postmenopausal women.
research In Vivo Hair Growth-Promoting Effect of Rice Bran Extract Prepared by Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Fluid
Rice bran extract can potentially treat hair loss by promoting hair growth and increasing the number of hair follicles.
research Transcriptome Sequencing and Identification of Cytochrome P450 Monooxygenases Involved in the Biosynthesis of Maslinic Acid and Corosolic Acid in Avicennia Marina
Researchers found two enzymes in Avicennia marina that help produce maslinic acid and corosolic acid, which have medicinal benefits.
research Skin Steroidogenesis in Health and Disease
The skin's ability to produce hormones is linked to various skin conditions, and better understanding this process could lead to new treatments.
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 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 Finasteride Blocks Progesterone Synthesis in MA-10 Leydig Tumor Cells
Finasteride blocks progesterone production in specific tumor cells, potentially causing side effects.
research 3,3-Diphenylpentane Skeleton as a Steroid Skeleton Substitute: Novel Inhibitors of Human 5α-Reductase 1
A new compound effectively inhibits human 5α-reductase 1.
research Targets to Treat Androgen Excess in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
The conclusion is that while oral contraceptive pills are effective for PCOS-related high androgen levels, new treatments with fewer side effects are needed.
research Effects on Steroid 5-Alpha Reductase Gene Expression of Thai Rice Bran Extracts and Molecular Dynamics Study on SRD5A2
Thai rice bran extracts, especially from Tubtim Chumphae rice, can significantly reduce the activity of hair loss genes, with x-tocopherol showing potential as an anti-hair loss product.
research Physiopathological Role of the Enzymatic Complex 5α-Reductase and 3α/β-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase in the Generation of Progesterone and Testosterone Neuroactive Metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research The Dark Side of 5α-Reductase Inhibitors' Therapy: Sexual Dysfunction, High Gleason Grade Prostate Cancer, and Depression
5α-reductase inhibitors can cause sexual problems, higher risk of aggressive prostate cancer, and depression.
research Identification of Anabolic Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators with Reduced Activities in Reproductive Tissues and Sebaceous Glands
Two new compounds were found to build bone and muscle without affecting reproductive organs and skin oil glands.
research Finasteride-Induced Inhibition of 5α-Reductase Type 2 Could Lead to Kidney Damage: An Experimental Animal Study
Finasteride may cause kidney damage.
research In Vitro Main Pathways of Steroid Action in Cultured Hair Follicle Cells: Vascular Approach
Steroids, particularly estrogens and 5α-reductase inhibitors, affect blood vessel-related hair growth processes in hair follicle cells.
research Is There an Association Between 5α-Reductase Inhibitors and Metabolic Syndrome? A Narrative Review of the Literature
Finasteride and dutasteride may cause metabolic issues like liver disease and diabetes.
research Targeting Neurosteroid Synthesis as a Therapy for Schizophrenia-Related Alterations Induced by Early Psychosocial Stress
A drug improved schizophrenia-like symptoms in stressed rats by changing brain steroid levels.
research Dihydrotestosterone Stimulates 5α-Reductase Activity in Pubic Skin Fibroblasts
Dihydrotestosterone increases the activity of an enzyme in pubic skin cells that converts testosterone to dihydrotestosterone.
