"The 5α-reductase inhibitor Dutasteride but not Finasteride protects dopamine neurons in the MPTP mouse model of Parkinson's disease"
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0028390815001963
This study provides evidence that Dutasteride may have some neuroprotective properties, and could in fact decrease the risk or severity of Parkinson's disease.
"In summary, our results showed that a 5α-reductase inhibitor, Dutasteride has neuroprotective activity preventing in male mice the MPTP-induced loss of several dopaminergic markers."
