research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
This study found that women with androgenetic alopecia experience diffuse hair loss due to a decrease in terminal hairs and an increase in vellus hairs per follicular unit.
research The Ludwig pattern of androgenetic alopecia is due to a hierarchy of androgen sensitivity within follicular units that leads to selective miniaturization and a reduction in the number of terminal hairs per follicular unit
Ludwig pattern hair loss results from varying androgen sensitivity, causing fewer thick hairs and more thin hairs.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
In this study, isotretinoin treatment in women with severe acne increased body weight and triglycerides but did not affect androgens or insulin sensitivity.
research Cross-species sensitivity to a novel androgen receptor agonist of potential environmental concern, spironolactone
This study found that spironolactone reduced fish fecundity and caused masculinization of females at certain concentrations, while having no effect on Daphnia magna reproduction, underscoring concerns for environmental exposure to vertebrates.

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?
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?
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
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?
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.
