community Has there been any update or progress on the 3-alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase hypothesis?

13 upvotes 2 months ago

The conversation discusses the hypothesis that a lack of the enzyme 3-alpha hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3α-HSD) on the scalp may contribute to hair loss by allowing DHT to accumulate. Despite interest in this theory, no recent research has been conducted, and current treatments like finasteride and minoxidil remain the most supported options.

community PYRILUTAMIDE PHASE 3 RESULTS : No statistical significance

124 upvotes 2 years ago

The phase 3 trial results for Pyrilutamide showed no significant difference from the control treatment in increasing hair count, leading to the company halting its development. Users discussed their disappointment and skepticism about hair loss treatments, with some mentioning other treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.

community Need supplemental products in addition to oral minoxidil and oral dutasteride

1 upvotes 1 year ago

The user has been using oral minoxidil and dutasteride for hair loss without success and is considering adding topical 17α-estradiol, Pyrilutamide, Clascoterone, or cetirizine. They have confirmed low serum DHT levels and are exploring additional treatments due to genetic sensitivity to DHT and prostaglandin D2.

community Trichotest Results: no Finasteride

5 upvotes 4 years ago

The user received trichotest results indicating finasteride is ineffective for them, and they plan to use dutasteride mesotherapy and add cetirizine to minoxidil. They seek advice on incorporating dutasteride into their regimen.

community Serum DHT data wanted for insights into dutasteride efficacy. Please get in touch!

in General 132 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation is about gathering serum DHT data from individuals taking dutasteride to investigate its efficacy, especially in cases with unexpectedly low DHT reduction. The aim is to explore potential genetic factors affecting drug metabolism.

community Dutasteride or treatment and TRT/PEDs

1 upvotes 1 month ago

A user experienced hair thinning after using tamoxifen and bupropion and is now using topical dutasteride, alfatradiol, melatonin, adenosine, and specific shampoos for improvement. They are considering using steroids and are seeking advice on whether combining oral dutasteride with TRT/PEDs would affect hair health, with mixed opinions on the impact of testosterone and DHT on hair loss.
