    TLDR Androgenetic alopecia in males is linked to hormone levels and the enzyme 5-alpha reductase.
    The article reviewed various studies on the androgen hormone profile in males with androgenetic alopecia, focusing on testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, and sex hormone-binding globulin levels. It also discussed the effects of androgens on hair follicles and highlighted the role of 5-alpha reductase in converting androgens, which is crucial in the development of androgenetic alopecia.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

      in Research/Science  63 upvotes 2 years ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.

      in Treatment  23 upvotes 6 months ago
      Creatine may cause increased hair shedding in some individuals, especially those with androgenetic alopecia (AGA), despite its physical performance benefits. Many users report stopping creatine to reduce hair loss, while others believe the effects are anecdotal or due to other factors like increased physical activity.

      Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      in Research  830 upvotes 1 year ago
      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Does finasteride/dutasteride reverse aging?

      in Chat  45 upvotes 1 year ago
      Finasteride and dutasteride can improve skin texture and reduce acne by lowering DHT but do not reverse aging. They may enhance skin and hair health for some, but can also cause side effects like dry skin and sexual dysfunction.
