Did you mean Androgen Sensitivity?

Glossary Androgen Sensitivity

body's responsiveness to male hormones like testosterone

Androgen sensitivity refers to how responsive an individual's body is to androgens, which are male hormones like testosterone. This sensitivity can affect various bodily functions, including hair growth and development. In conditions like androgenic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness), increased sensitivity to androgens can lead to hair thinning and loss.

community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place

in Satire 7 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.

community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?

9 upvotes 1 year ago

Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.

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?

13 upvotes 4 years ago

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 I Get Side-Effects from Anti-Androgens

8 upvotes 6 years ago

Someone looking for solutions to their hair loss, who has tried and failed to tolerate anti-androgen treatments such as finasteride, CB-03-01, RU58841, and Eucapil. The user is seeking advice and understanding of their extreme sensitivity to these treatments.

community What is the actual cause for oily skin/acne after starting finasteride?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride can cause oily skin and acne due to increased testosterone or sensitivity of androgen receptors. Some users find dutasteride results in less oily skin compared to finasteride.
