Am I reading this correctly? Apparently estradiol in addition to progesterone inhibits 5alpha reductase


Estradiol exhibited 40.8 +/- 14.2% inhibition at 10(-4) mol/L (P less than .01), whereas ethinyl estradiol at concentrations from 10(-8) to 10(-4) mol/L failed to inhibit 5 alpha-reductase activity.
