Болезнь Паркинсона (БП) является вторым по распространенности нейродегенеративным заболеванием после болезни Альцгеймера. Имеются данные, что БП имеет более широкую распространенность среди мужчин, что свидетельствует об имеющейся роли половых гормонов в патогенезе развития заболевания. В статье представлен обзор исследований, посвященных изучению половых различий в заболеваемости и симптомах БП. Медикаментозная терапия андрогенами, предшественниками андрогенов, антиандрогенами и препаратами, модифицирующими метаболизм андрогенов, доступна для лечения различных эндокринных состояний, имея трансляционное значение для БП, но ни один из этих препаратов еще не показал достаточной эффективности. Хотя в настоящее время доказано, что БП более распространена у мужчин, чем у женщин, андрогены не всегда оказывают какое-либо влияние на симптомы или прогрессирование заболевания. Ингибиторы 5α-редуктазы показали нейропротекторную и антидискинетическую активность и нуждаются в дальнейшем исследовании. Несмотря на то что нейропротекторный эффект дутастерида наблюдался только до повреждения дофаминовых нейронов, отсутствие негативного влияния делает его привлекательным препаратом для применения у пациентов с БП благодаря его антидискинетическим свойствам.

Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the second most common neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer’s disease. There is evidence that PD has a wider prevalence among men, which indicates the existing role of sex hormones in the pathogenesis of the disease. The article presents an overview of studies devoted to the study of sex differences in the incidence and symptoms of PD. Drug therapy with androgens, androgen precursors, antiandrogens and drugs that modify androgen metabolism is available for the treatment of various endocrine conditions, having translational significance for PD, but none of these drugs has yet shown sufficient effectiveness. Although PD has now been proven to be more common in men than in women, androgens do not always have any effect on the symptoms or progression of the disease. 5α-reductase inhibitors have shown neuroprotective and anti-dyskinetic activity and need further investigation. Despite the fact that the neuroprotective effect of dutasteride was observed only before damage to DA neurons, the absence of a negative effect makes it an attractive drug for use in patients with PD due to its anti-dyskinetic properties.
