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.

Genetic Analysis of 5 Alpha Reductase Type 2 Enzyme in Relation to Oxidative Stress in Cases of Androgenetic Alopecia in a Sample of Egyptian Population

research Genetic analysis of 5 α reductase type 2 enzyme in relation to oxidative stress in cases of androgenetic alopecia in a sample of egyptian population

1 citations , October 2013 in “Our Dermatology Online”

This study found that individuals in this Egyptian cohort carrying the leucine (L) allele of the 5-α reductase type II enzyme had a higher risk of developing androgenetic alopecia, which may be associated with oxidative stress.

5-Alpha-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency: Is There a Genotype-Phenotype Correlation? A Review

research 5-α-Reductase type 2 deficiency: is there a genotype-phenotype correlation? A review

39 citations , April 2018 in “Hormones”

This review suggests that most mutations in the SRD5A2 gene show no clear genotype-phenotype correlation in 5-α-Reductase deficiency, although mutation location affects severity.

Longitudinal Clinical Course in Patients With 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency Treated With Testosterone and Dihydrotestosterone During Infancy and Puberty

research Longitudinal clinical course in patients with 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency treated with testosterone and dihydrotestosterone during infancy and puberty

October 2022 in “Endocrine journal”

In this study of male patients with 46,XY 5α-reductase type 2 deficiency, DHT therapy was effective in achieving penile enlargement during infancy, while testosterone replacement therapy proved more beneficial during puberty, possibly due to increased conversion to DHT.

Methylation of CpG Islands in Promoter of Type 2 5-Alpha Reductase and Implications of Finasteride Resistance for BPH Therapy

research 102 Methylation of CpG islands in promoter of type 2 5-α reductase and implications of finasteride resistance for BPH therapy

March 2016 in “European Urology Supplements”

This study identified that methylation of the 5-AR2 gene promoter is linked to reduced expression of 5-AR2 protein, which may explain why some BPH patients are resistant to finasteride treatment.

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
