TLDR Testosterone, 4-hydroxyandrostenedione, and finasteride affect blood clotting differently in stressed heart conditions.

The study investigated the effects of testosterone, 4-hydroxyandrostenedione, and finasteride on hemostasis in a rat model of coronary ischemia/reperfusion. The research aimed to understand how these substances influenced blood clotting and cardiovascular health under stress conditions. The findings suggested that these compounds had varying impacts on hemostatic parameters, which could have implications for their use in managing cardiovascular conditions. However, as this was an animal study, further research would have been needed to confirm these effects in humans.

community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance

in Research/Science 80 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
