research Premature Adrenarche, Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, and Intrauterine Growth Retardation: Does a Relationship Exist?
Low birthweight and rapid weight gain after birth may increase the risk of developing polycystic ovary syndrome.
research The Effect of Minocycline on the Metabolism of Androgens by Human Oral Periosteal Fibroblasts and Its Inhibition by Finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Baldness May Be Caused by the Weight of the Scalp: Gravity as a Proposed Mechanism for Hair Loss
Baldness might be caused by scalp weight pressing on hair follicles.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors Increase Acute Coronary Syndrome Risk in Patients with Benign Prostate Hyperplasia
Taking both finasteride and dutasteride for prostate issues may raise the risk of heart problems.
research Synthesis and Structure–Activity Investigation of Iodinated Arylhydantoins and Arylthiohydantoins for Development as Androgen Receptor Radioligands
Scientists created iodinated arylhydantoins and arylthiohydantoins that could potentially be used for imaging prostate cancer. Some versions with specific side-chains showed high potential for this use.
research Male Pattern Hair Loss: Prevention Rather Than Regrowth
Preventing hair loss is more effective than regrowth; oral finasteride is a realistic option.
research Effect of MK-386, a Novel Inhibitor of Type 1 5 Alpha-Reductase, Alone and in Combination with Finasteride, on Serum Dihydrotestosterone Concentrations in Men
MK-386 and finasteride together effectively reduce DHT levels, potentially treating acne and male pattern baldness.
research New Fluorogenic Probes for Neutral and Alkaline Ceramidases
New probes were created to effectively measure specific enzymes involved in fat metabolism, which could help develop new drugs.

research Synthesis and In Vitro Study of 17β-[N-Ureylene-N,N′-Disubstituted]-4-Methyl-4-Aza-5α-Androstan-3-Ones as Selective Inhibitors of Type I 5α-Reductase
New compounds were made that effectively block a specific enzyme related to androgen conditions.
research CD44 Expression in Alopecia Areata and Androgenetic Alopecia
No CD44 in alopecia areata, present in normal and androgenetic alopecia.
research The Function and Structure of the Skin
The skin protects the body, regulates temperature, senses touch, and makes vitamin D.
research Determination of Rat 5α-Reductase Type 1 Isozyme Activity and Its Inhibition by Novel Steroidal Oxazolines
New steroidal compounds moderately block an enzyme related to testosterone conversion, less effectively than finasteride.
research Lymphatic Vessel: Origin, Heterogeneity, Biological Functions, and Therapeutic Targets
Lymphatic vessels are essential for health and can be targeted to treat various diseases.
research 5α-Reductase Inhibitors: Evaluation of Their Potential Confounding Effect on GC-C-IRMS Doping Analysis
5α-reductase inhibitors can interfere with doping tests by masking banned substances.
research Formation of the Cornified Envelope
The cornified envelope is crucial for skin's barrier function and involves key proteins and genetic factors.
research Thermodynamic Modeling of the Gas-Antisolvent Process for Precipitation of Finasteride
The Gas-Antisolvent process can be effectively modeled and optimized to create Finasteride, a hair growth drug.
research The Relationship Between Keratin 18 and Epithelial-Derived Tumors: As a Diagnostic Marker, Prognostic Marker, and Its Role in Tumorigenesis
Keratin 18 helps diagnose and predict cancer progression and affects cancer growth and spread.
research The Rho GTPase Exchange Factor Vav2 Promotes Extensive Age-Dependent Rewiring of the Hair Follicle Stem Cell Transcriptome
Vav2 changes how hair follicle stem cells' genes work as they age, which might improve regeneration but also raise cancer risk.
research Data from Elevated Cutaneous Smad Activation Associates with Enhanced Skin Tumor Susceptibility in Organ Transplant Recipients
Higher TGF-β signaling may increase skin cancer risk in organ transplant recipients.
research Different Levels of 5α-Reductase Type I and II, Aromatase, and Androgen Receptor in Hair Follicles of Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.
