research Clinical dose ranging studies with finasteride, a type 2 5α-reductase inhibitor, in men with male pattern hair loss

46 citations , October 1999 in “Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology”

This study found that finasteride at 1 mg/day was the most effective dose for treating male pattern hair loss, with similar efficacy to 5 mg/day and better results than lower doses.

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 Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1

49 citations , January 2004 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

This review discusses the development and selectivity of 5 alpha-reductase inhibitors, particularly non-steroidal ones, and reports no new clinical trial results.

Synthesis of Phenanthridin-3-One Derivatives: Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of Steroid 5-Alpha-Reductase

research Synthesis of phenanthridin-3-one derivatives: Non-steroidal inhibitors of steroid 5-α-reductase

20 citations , June 1995 in “Tetrahedron Letters”

This study reported that newly synthesized phenanthridin-3-one derivatives effectively inhibit human steroid 5-α-reductase.

community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

community Supposedly dairy contains precursors to DHT that are already 5a-reduced and convert to DHT independent of 5a-reductase inhibition

26 upvotes 5 months ago

Dairy may contain DHT precursors that could affect hair loss and prostate health, with some users noting reduced hair shedding after eliminating dairy. Individual responses to dairy and DHT blockers vary, with some attributing hair health to diet changes and others seeing no impact.

community Approximation of Scalp DHT Suppression Between 0.05 mg to 2.5 mg

in Research/Science 63 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of various doses of Dutasteride in reducing scalp DHT and its impact on hair count. Users shared personal experiences with hair loss treatments, including Dutasteride, Finasteride, and Minoxidil, with one reporting significant hair loss reduction using a combination of oral Dutasteride and topical Minoxidil and Finasteride.

community 3 months progress (1mg oral fin + 2.5 mg oral min)

21 upvotes 4 months ago

A 33-year-old male shared his 3-month progress using 1mg oral finasteride and 2.5mg oral minoxidil, along with supplements and serums, reporting thicker hair and new growth in thinning areas without side effects. Users suggested considering dutasteride or a hair transplant for better results, while others encouraged continuing the current regimen for at least a year.

community How come dutasteride doesn't lower allopregnanolone, but finasteride does?

12 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride significantly lowers allopregnanolone levels, while dutasteride's effect is less clear and may vary. Some users speculate that dutasteride might be healthier for the brain due to its different inhibition pathways.
