research Determination of rat 5α-reductase type 1 isozyme activity and its inhibition by novel steroidal oxazolines

4 citations , August 2010 in “Acta Biologica Hungarica”

This study found that novel compounds moderately inhibited 5α-reductase type 1 activity compared to finasteride, offering valuable data on structure-activity relationships.

research LY191704: a selective, nonsteroidal inhibitor of human steroid 5 alpha-reductase type 1.

53 citations , June 1993 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America”

This study identified LY191704 as a specific noncompetitive inhibitor of human 5 alpha-reductase type 1, which may be useful in treating endocrine disorders related to DHT overproduction.

research Immunolocalization of 5α-Reductase Isozymes in Acne Lesions and Normal Skin

45 citations , September 2000 in “Archives of dermatology”

This study found that 5alpha-reductase type 1 localizes specifically to sebaceous glands in both normal and acne follicles, suggesting its role in sebum regulation.

research Human Osteoblast-Like Cells Express Predominantly Steroid 5α-Reductase Type 1

56 citations , December 2002 in “The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism”

This study suggests that in human osteoblast-like cells, the 5alpha-reductase type 1 isozyme predominantly catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to DHT, which may play a role in bone homeostasis.

MRNA Levels of Aromatase, 5α-Reductase Isozymes, and Prostate Cancer-Related Genes in Plucked Hair from Young Men with Androgenic Alopecia

research mRNA Levels of Aromatase, 5α-Reductase Isozymes, and Prostate Cancer-Related Genes in Plucked Hair from Young Men with Androgenic Alopecia

December 2023 in “International Journal of Molecular Sciences”

In this study, researchers found that young men with androgenic alopecia exhibited significantly higher mRNA levels of 5α-reductase isozymes and changes in prostate cancer-related genes, which could explain varying responses to treatment and guide future therapies.

community Green tea/ soy Isoflavones supplements for MPB

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Green tea extract and soy isoflavones may help with hair loss by inhibiting DHT and providing additional health benefits. Combining these with finasteride and possibly using nizoral shampoo could enhance effectiveness in managing hair loss.

community Is this finasteride brand legit?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 15 upvotes 7 months ago

The conversation discusses the use of dutasteride and minoxidil for hair loss treatment, with concerns about potential side effects and the effectiveness of dutasteride compared to finasteride. The user is advised to monitor for side effects and consult with a doctor, while also considering the differences between the medications.

community Finasteride is save in the eu (they concluded the investigation)

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 335 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are still available in the EU, with a warning about potential suicidal thoughts. The benefits of these treatments are deemed greater than the risks.

community 5 alpha reductase type 1 is in brain tissue producing the main endogenous gabaergic allopregnanolone, not 2. How can finasteride as a 5ar2 lower that?

27 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride and dutasteride are discussed for hair loss, with concerns about their effects on neurosteroids and potential side effects like depression. Alternatives like topical estrogen and lifestyle changes are considered, with varying opinions on mental health and hair regrowth.

community How come Dut doesn’t cause more brain problems than fin if it inhibits Type 1 5AR?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 22 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride and finasteride have similar risk profiles despite Dutasteride blocking more types of 5AR in the brain. Some users report no mood issues with either drug, and it is suggested that Dutasteride's larger molecular size may limit its ability to cross the blood-brain barrier.
