research Morphometric-Stereological and Functional Epididymal Alterations and a Decrease in Fertility in Rats Treated with Finasteride and After a 30-Day Post-Treatment Recovery Period
Finasteride causes lasting fertility decrease in rats.
research Effects of Dihydrotestosterone on Rat Dermal Papilla Cells In Vitro
Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) doesn't affect rat skin cell growth, but it does change cell cycle, protein levels, and other cell functions, potentially shortening hair growth cycle.
research COVID-19 and Andrology: Recommendations of the French-Speaking Society of Andrology
Wait 3 months after COVID-19 before trying assisted reproduction and further research is needed on COVID-19's effects on male hormones and fertility.
research Exposure of Xenopus Laevis Tadpoles to Finasteride, an Inhibitor of 5-Alpha Reductase Activity, Impairs Spermatogenesis and Alters Hypophyseal Feedback Mechanisms
Finasteride exposure harms tadpole reproduction and hormone balance.
research Effect of Ficus Carica Leaf Extract on the Gene Expression of Selected Factors in HaCaT Cells
Ficus carica leaf extract may help treat skin disorders by reducing inflammation and androgen effects in skin cells.
research Safety Aspects of Androgen Treatment with 5α-Dihydrotestosterone
DHT is a strong androgen that may pose less risk to the prostate compared to testosterone.
research Basic Mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 Infection: Implications for Endocrine Systems
SARS-CoV-2, the virus causing COVID-19, can affect all endocrine organs and systems, altering their function and potentially leading to disorders. Factors like diabetes and obesity increase infection risk and severity. Understanding these effects is key for effective treatment.
research Synthesis, Biological Evaluation and Molecular Docking of Avicequinone C Analogues as Potential Steroid 5α-Reductase Inhibitors

research Urinary Steroids in Men with Male-Pattern Alopecia
Men with male-pattern baldness have higher levels of certain testosterone metabolites and may have more active androgen metabolism.
research Oral Testosterone With and Without Concomitant Inhibition of 5α-Reductase by Dutasteride in Hypogonadal Men for 28 Days
Taking oral testosterone with or without dutasteride increases testosterone levels and could be an effective treatment for low testosterone.
research Resveratrol Ameliorates the Seminiferous Tubules Damages Induced by Finasteride in Adult Male Rats
Resveratrol helps prevent finasteride-induced damage in male rats, improving reproductive function.
research Cancer Risk by the Subtype of Alopecia
People with certain types of alopecia have a slightly higher risk of cancer, especially thyroid, bladder, and prostate cancers.
research Combination of an Antiandrogen and a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor: A Further Step Towards Total Androgen Blockade?
Using two drugs together, Flutamide and 4-MA, is more effective for blocking male hormones than using each one alone.
