    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 Could creatine trigger faster hairloss?

      in Research/Science  28 upvotes 1 year ago
      Creatine is reported by many to increase hair loss, though no scientific evidence supports this. Some use finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss, while others avoid creatine due to personal experiences.

      in Research/Science  64 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.

      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.

      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.
