    TLDR Hair analysis can detect testosterone in horses after drug administration.
    The study developed a sensitive GC–MS/MS method to detect testosterone in horse hair after administering testosterone propionate to a gelding. Despite the low testosterone concentrations compared to humans and other animals, the method successfully identified testosterone in hair samples collected over 5 months post-administration. However, testosterone propionate itself was not detectable with the ion trap instrument, though it was suspected in tests using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. This research highlighted the potential of hair analysis for monitoring drug administration in horses.

      The user started using trenbolone and minoxidil simultaneously and experienced increased hair shedding, unsure which is causing it. Replies suggest both drugs could cause hair loss, with one advising to stop trenbolone to protect hair and another indicating minoxidil is unlikely the cause due to the timing.

      The conversation discusses whether finasteride's reduction of DHT and increase in scalp testosterone contribute to hair follicle miniaturization. Some participants argue testosterone does not cause miniaturization, while others suggest that even with reduced DHT, other androgens like testosterone may still contribute to hair loss.

      Increased Malassezia and Cutibacterium in the scalp microbiome are linked to higher sebum production and inflammation in androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Treatments include ciclopirox shampoo, benzoyl peroxide shampoo, clobetasol propionate, calcipotriol, minoxidil, finasteride, and dutasteride.

      The conversation discusses diffuse unpatterned alopecia (DUPA) and its possible causes, including sensitivity to DHT, not being androgenic alopecia, being diffuse alopecia areata, or hormonal issues. Treatments mentioned include topical melatonin, Clobetasol Propionate for alopecia areata, and the lack of results from using finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil.
