    TLDR Gene variations may increase oxidative stress in male pattern baldness.
    The study on 43 male patients with androgenic alopecia (AGA) explored the link between glutathione S-transferase (GST) gene polymorphisms, total antioxidant status (TAS), and blood pressure changes. It found that GST gene polymorphisms might be related to increased oxidative stress and decreased TAS in AGA patients. Specifically, the GSTP1 A114V heterozygous genotype was associated with higher total oxidative stress (TOS) levels, and the GSTT1 null genotype was linked to lower TAS. Although not statistically significant, a positive correlation was noted between AGA stages and oxidative stress, suggesting oxidative stress may rise as AGA progresses.

      community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

      in Research/Science  734 upvotes 3 years ago
      A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.

      community Let Me Sell You on NAC

      The conversation discusses using NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) alongside minoxidil and finasteride for hair loss, with some users noting potential hairline improvement and increased energy. The original poster reduced their finasteride dosage due to mental decline and anxiety, and while NAC's effects on hair are anecdotal, it is considered low-risk with other health benefits.

      A user experienced androgenic alopecia starting at the vertex without frontal hairline recession and is seeking information on this pattern. Another user noted that vertex or diffuse hair loss is common among men.
      Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

      community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

      in Research  413 upvotes 11 months ago
      Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.

      community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia

      in Research/Science  34 upvotes 1 month ago
      DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
