January 2021 in “Asian pacific Journal of Tropical Biomedicine” The study concluded that Origanum vulgare L. leaf extract effectively alleviated oxidative stress in the liver and kidney of mice induced by finasteride. The extract, particularly at doses of 200 and 400 mg/kg/day, significantly improved liver and kidney function, reduced inflammatory cytokines, increased antioxidant status, and decreased oxidative stress markers. Histopathological analysis confirmed these protective effects, indicating that Origanum vulgare extract could be a beneficial supplement for reducing oxidative stress and mitigating finasteride-induced hepatic and renal damage.

October 2022 in “Biomedicines” The review investigates the transgenerational effects of finasteride-induced androgen imbalance on endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative stress, and liver disorders. It was found that finasteride treatment in male rats led to significant metabolic and cellular stress in their offspring, including hyperglycemia and increased hepatic glycogen accumulation. The study highlights the role of androgen receptors in regulating ER stress and the unfolded protein response (UPR) in the liver, suggesting that these mechanisms could be potential therapeutic targets for liver diseases. The findings emphasize the need for further research into how finasteride and similar drugs may induce hereditary changes affecting offspring health.
