Androgen receptors are active in many tissues of both male and female mice, not just reproductive organs.
research The Direct Inhibitory Effect of Dutasteride or Finasteride on Androgen Receptor Activity Is Cell Line Specific
Dutasteride and finasteride affect different cell types differently.
research Dexamethasone, a Synthetic Glucocorticoid, Induces the Activity of Androgen Receptor in Human Dermal Papilla Cells
Dexamethasone increases the activity of androgen receptors in human skin cells, which may link it to certain types of hair loss.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Fluridil downregulates androgen receptor expression?
Fluridil may decrease the number of androgen receptors in hair follicles by up to 95%. This suggests a different action mechanism from other non-steroidal antiandrogens like RU58841, indicating they might be used together.
community Dutasteride: More Than a DHT Reducer – A Potential Androgen Receptor Inhibitor?
Dutasteride may inhibit androgen receptors in addition to reducing DHT, potentially explaining its effectiveness over finasteride for hair loss. Concerns about its impact on muscle growth are debated, with some suggesting no significant effects.
community If we lose hair because of our sensitivity to DHT, then why are we trying to reduce DHT when our sensitive androgen receptors are the culprit?
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of reducing DHT for hair loss treatment and explores alternative approaches like reducing androgen receptor sensitivity. Specific treatments mentioned include finasteride, dutasteride, pyrilutamide (KX-826), GT20029, and RU58841.
community 27M Struggling with 5-Month Treatment Limit on Minoxidil and Finasteride, Seeking AR Blocker Advice
A 27-year-old male is experiencing a recurring pattern of hair loss after 5 months of using oral minoxidil and finasteride, despite initial success. He is considering using topical androgen receptor blockers like RU58841, pyrilutamide, or clascoterone to address potential androgen receptor hypersensitivity.
community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
