Thujae occidentalis semen extract may help treat male pattern baldness by blocking a hair loss-related enzyme and reducing hair loss in mice.

Finasteride effectively treats baldness but may cause sexual side effects.

Blocking glucocorticoid receptors improves glucose metabolism in a PCOS mouse model.

New pregnane derivatives were more effective than finasteride at inhibiting a key enzyme for male pattern baldness.

Thyroid hormones and androgens affect gene expression in frog reproductive organs differently between males and females.

Finasteride inhibits enzyme activity in rhesus macaques, suggesting they're useful for evaluating similar drugs.

Both drugs lower DHT levels, with GI198745 being more effective.

Finasteride reduces scalp DHT levels, potentially treating male pattern baldness.

Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.

New pregnane derivatives are effective at inhibiting an enzyme linked to hair loss and reducing oil gland activity.

Taking oral testosterone with finasteride or dutasteride doubles testosterone levels, and food slightly affects it.

New compounds show promise for treating hair loss, enlarged prostate, and prostate cancer, with some being more effective and having different side effects than current treatments.

Researchers created a cell line to study hair growth and found specific genes affected by dihydrotestosterone.

Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.

Dutasteride and finasteride may reduce sperm count and volume but don't affect movement or shape; effects are reversible after stopping.

Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.

AGA, a common hair loss, is caused by genetics, hormones, age, and environmental factors.

Finasteride helps reduce heart issues and improves heart function.

Medicines for enlarged prostate may raise the risk of breast growth and tenderness but not breast cancer.

5α-reductase inhibitors increase the risk of sexual dysfunction, especially in men with enlarged prostate.

New treatments for enlarged prostate are being developed to be more effective and have fewer side effects.

Adenosine complex helps increase hair thickness and density in hair loss.

Avicennia Marina extract and avicequinone C can reduce hair loss hormone production and increase hair growth factors, suggesting they could be used to treat androgenic alopecia.

Father's finasteride use may affect son's fertility and testicular function.

Dutasteride and finasteride affect different cell types differently.

Brassica oleracea extract, glucosinlates, and sulforaphane can boost hair growth and might be used to treat hair loss.

Diet and supplements can significantly affect acne, with some foods and nutrients reducing and others worsening it.

Hormones, especially androgens, play a big role in acne, but most acne sufferers don't have a hormone disorder. Hormonal treatments, including birth control pills, can be very effective for women whose acne doesn't improve with regular treatments.

Combination therapy improves hair growth in advanced hair loss.

Prostate cancer cells can make their own androgens to activate the androgen receptor, and treatments like abiraterone may increase this ability, suggesting new therapies should target the entire steroid-making pathway.
