androgen resistance androgen receptor androgen insensitivity high-dose androgen therapy

TLDR High-dose androgen therapy can help manage certain types of androgen resistance.

The study investigated a case of androgen resistance due to a qualitative abnormality in the androgen receptor. The patient exhibited symptoms of androgen insensitivity but responded positively to high-dose androgen therapy. This finding suggested that certain forms of androgen resistance could be managed with increased androgen doses, highlighting the potential for tailored therapeutic approaches in similar cases.

community A Technical Question About Pyrilutamide

in Research/Science 5 upvotes 1 year ago

Pyrilutamide is believed to be more effective than RU58841 and 1 mg finasteride in treating hair loss, with no systemic hormonal effects and the potential to block more than 31% of scalp DHT. It may also antagonize scalp testosterone due to its action as an androgen receptor antagonist.

in Satire 109 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses why DHT (dihydrotestosterone) negatively affects scalp hair but promotes growth elsewhere on the body. Various opinions include genetic predispositions, differences in hair follicle reactions to DHT, and the potential role of Omega-3 in reducing inflammation and promoting hair health.
