    TLDR The method accurately measures testosterone metabolites with high sensitivity and low environmental impact.
    The study developed a methodology for directly quantifying testosterone metabolites in the pilosebaceous unit using digital autoradiography, which allowed for the detection of signals as weak as 25 dpm and calibration curves in the range of 50–500 dpm. The technique demonstrated high sensitivity, reproducibility, and practicability, with coefficients of variation not exceeding 10% for biological measurements. This method provided a comprehensive analysis of testosterone metabolism into its various derivatives and offered an environmental advantage by minimizing the use of radioactive materials.

      Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.

      community Why is it that low testosterone causes hair loss as well? How can I be balding?

      in Chat  158 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses the confusion over low testosterone potentially causing hair loss, with users sharing personal experiences and knowledge about hair loss treatments like Finasteride. Some users suggest that hair follicle sensitivity to DHT, not testosterone levels, is the key factor in balding, and others discuss the side effects of hair loss medications.

      To minimize hair loss while using steroids, use finasteride or dutasteride and apply topical anti-androgens like RU58841. Avoid high doses of hair-toxic steroids; prefer testosterone, nandrolone, and boldenone.
