community A hair model who does beauty ads and has 3 million followers claims he went from almost a Norwood 3 to a perfect hairline in 8 months on only Minoxidil and Rosemary oil. Curious, what are people’s thoughts?
This conversation discusses the results of a model who claims he went from almost a Norwood 3 to a perfect hairline in 8 months using only Minoxidil and Rosemary oil. The replies suggest that this could be realistic but long-term results would require additional treatments like finasteride or other medications to prevent further hair loss.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibition
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain
