Dihydrotestosterone and Finasteride Effects on Alcohol Cue-Elicited Brain Activity in Males With Heavy Episodic Drinking. [PDF]
In a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled crossover study, we investigated whether finasteride‐induced reduction of dihydrotestosterone alters alcohol cue‐elicited brain activity and craving in males with heavy episodic drinking. Although dihydrotestosterone concentrations were not associated with neural cue reactivity, finasteride increased ...

Phytochemical Profiling of the Halophyte Artemisia fukudo Makino and Its In Vitro Effects on Androgen-Related Pathways Associated With Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia and Alopecia. [PDF]
This study investigated the phytochemical constituents of the halophyte Artemisia fukudo, leading to the isolation and identification of eight compounds characterized by HPLC–DAD and ESI–MS. Importantly, we demonstrate for the first time that jaceidin inhibits 5α‐reductase type 2 and downregulates BPH‐associated proteins (AR, PSA, and PCNA) in prostate

Finasteride withdrawal induces anxiety‐like behavior and novelty avoidance in adult male rats [PDF]
Abstract Finasteride, an inhibitor of the enzyme 5alpha‐reductase, prescribed for benign prostatic hyperplasia and androgenetic alopecia, induces a wide variety of side effects during treatment and upon withdrawal, like sexual dysfunction and cognitive and psychological disorders, inducing the so‐called post‐finasteride syndrome (PFS).

Are Hand Preference and Sexual Orientation Possible Predicting Factors for Finasteride Adverse Effects in Male Androgenic Alopecia? [PDF]
Sexual side effects of finasteride seem to be redoubtable, being encountered not only during therapy but also after treatment cessation. Consequently, any possible clinical/paraclinical elements that might predict these adverse effects would be useful in
