Androgenic Modulation of Arterial Baroreceptor Dysfunction and Neuroinflammation in Endotoxic Male Rats

The user has been using finasteride and minoxidil for hair loss but experienced worsening temple recession. They suspect they might be more sensitive to testosterone and are considering trying RU58841 or CB 03 01 as additional treatments.

ABS-201 may block prolactin receptors in hair, potentially reducing androgen receptors and affecting hair loss. It could also aid collagen synthesis and stem cell pathways, similar to GHK-Cu.

The conversation discusses using topical liposomal finasteride for hair loss, with concerns about high DHT levels. The user's DHT level is above the normal range, which may affect hair health.

Prolactin and cortisol are identified as key factors in hair loss, with stress hormones impacting hair shedding. Finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments, while DHT's role and individual sensitivity are significant factors.

The conversation is about someone planning to start finasteride or RU58841 for hair loss and wanting to know which hormones to test beforehand. They found a package for testing testosterone, free testosterone, estradiol, and DHT, and are asking if these tests are enough.

Pyrilutamide and RU58841 are androgen receptor antagonists that block receptors without significantly reducing testosterone or DHT levels. Any indirect effect on androgen levels is likely negligible.
