research Fortnightly Review: Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss in men is common, treatable, but not curable.
research Therapeutic Control of Androgen Action
Understanding how androgens work is key for creating new treatments for prostate issues and hair/skin conditions.
research Relative Binding Affinity of Novel Steroids to Androgen Receptors in Hamster Prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Biological Activity of Novel Progesterone Derivatives Having Bulky Ester Side Chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Antiviral and Anti-Tumor Activities of Some Steroidal Cyanopyridinone Derivatives
Some newly made compounds are promising for treating enlarged prostate, hair loss, viruses, and prostate cancer, and might be better than current drugs.

Four new compounds were more effective than finasteride in treating prostate issues and hair loss, with one being 100 times more active and safe for use.
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 Role of 5α-Reductase in Health and Disease
5α-reductase is essential for male sexual development and its inhibitors have potential in treating various conditions related to hormone action.
research A New Label-Free Screen for Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Using LC-MS
Researchers developed a new method to find substances in herbs that can block a specific enzyme linked to hair loss.
research Pharmacophore and Atom-Based 3D QSAR Studies on the Novel 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitors
The developed model can predict effective 5-alpha-reductase enzyme inhibitors.
research Evaluation of New Pregnane Derivatives as 5α-Reductase Inhibitors
New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.
research Persistent Erectile Dysfunction in Men Exposed to 5α-Reductase Inhibitors, Finasteride, or Dutasteride
Using finasteride or dutasteride may cause long-lasting erectile dysfunction.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research Finasteride Is the Main Inhibitor of 5α-Reductase Activity in Microdissected Dermal Papillae of Human Hair Follicles
Finasteride potentially treats hair loss by reducing DHT production.
research FCE 28260, A New 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: In Vitro and In Vivo Effects
FCE 28260 is a stronger and longer-lasting inhibitor of 5α-reductase than finasteride, which may make it a better treatment for certain medical conditions.
research A New Look at the 5-Alpha-Reductase Inhibitor Finasteride
Finasteride treats enlarged prostate and hair loss, but may cause side effects in some patients.
