research Physiopathological Role of the Enzymatic Complex 5α-Reductase and 3α/β-Hydroxysteroid Oxidoreductase in the Generation of Progesterone and Testosterone Neuroactive Metabolites
The enzymes 5α-reductase and 3α/β-hydroxysteroid oxidoreductase help create brain-active substances from progesterone and testosterone, which could be used for treatment, but more research is needed to ensure their safety and effectiveness.
research Different Levels of 5α-Reductase Type I and II, Aromatase, and Androgen Receptor in Hair Follicles of Women and Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
People with hair loss have more androgen receptors and enzymes in certain follicles, with men and women showing different patterns.

LY320236 is a strong blocker of two enzymes that change testosterone into dihydrotestosterone and might help treat conditions related to male hormones.
research Selective Non-Steroidal Inhibitors of 5α-Reductase Type 1
Selective non-steroidal inhibitors of 5α-reductase type 1 can help treat DHT-related disorders.
research Testosterone Metabolism in Human Skin Cells In Vitro and Its Interaction with Estradiol and Dutasteride

Hair loss treatments, including microneedling, minoxidil, finasteride and RU58841; the efficacy of these treatments; criticisms of Kevin Mann's content related to his selective data presentation and biases towards certain treatments; and other topics such as DHT being labeled a "trash hormone" and critiques of other hairloss YouTubers.
community Finasteride, dutasteride, and oral min- My experience
User took Fin for 3 years, Dut for 7 months, and oral Min for 2 months without side effects. Fin stopped hair loss for 2 years, Dut maintained hair, and oral Min regrew thinning hair.
community It’s getting worse. (4 months)
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, with users suggesting the use of finasteride daily, considering minoxidil for aggressive hair loss, and discussing the normalcy of shedding during treatment. Some users recommend adding Nizoral shampoo and switching to dutasteride for better results.
community From the research study: "Dihydrotestosterone and the concept of 5a-reductase inhibition in human benign prostatic hyperplasia" - G. Bartsch, R.S. Rittmaster, H. Klocker (2002) in the "World Journal of Urology".
Dutasteride is a stronger 5AR inhibitor than finasteride and can significantly lower DHT levels. Reduced doses of dutasteride may lower side effects.
community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain
The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.
