5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Improvement of female pattern hair loss with bicalutamide: a time-dependent process
Bicalutamide may reduce hair shedding in women but needs longer trials to confirm its effectiveness.
research Epitestosterone
Epitestosterone may counteract testosterone's effects and has roles in body processes like prostate growth and hair distribution.
research Re: Effect of Testosterone Supplementation With and Without a Dual 5α-Reductase Inhibitor on Fat-Free Mass in Men with Suppressed Testosterone Production: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Testosterone increases muscle mass regardless of DHT conversion blocking.
research Tissue-Selective Regulation of Androgen-Responsive Genes
The same hormone can affect gene expression differently in various tissues, which could lead to new treatments for conditions like hair loss.
research The Rise in Adrenal Androgen Biosynthesis: Adrenarche
Adrenarche increases adrenal androgens around age 6, affecting hair growth and development.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
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 Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research
Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.
community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...
Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
