Did you mean Androgen-Dependent?

Glossary Androgen-Dependent

biological process influenced by male sex hormones

Androgen-dependent refers to biological processes or conditions that are influenced or regulated by androgens, which are male sex hormones like testosterone. For example, androgen-dependent hair loss, also known as androgenetic alopecia, occurs when hair follicles shrink due to the effects of these hormones, leading to thinning hair or baldness. This term is crucial in understanding conditions that are influenced by hormonal changes, particularly in the context of hair growth and loss.

community Why Fin/Dut Isn't Working for You GPR133: a new hairloss mechanism + Steroid Hair Loss Deep Dive

6 upvotes 2 months ago

Hair loss may be linked to the GPR133 receptor, independent of the androgen receptor pathway. Treatments like finasteride, dutasteride, minoxidil, RU58841, and KX-826 show varying results, with hair loss persisting due to high testosterone and GPR133's role.

community Dr. Rassman vs Kevin Mann on Eucapil

4 upvotes 5 years ago

Eucapil is discussed as a potential hair loss treatment with some believing it to be effective, though its efficacy compared to finasteride is debated. It is considered an anti-androgen treatment, often used alongside other treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, but lacks independent studies to fully support its effectiveness.

community 57% increased chance of pattern hair loss independently associated with the consumption of sugary beverages in men (p<0.001).

297 upvotes 2 years ago

Sugary beverages increase the risk of pattern hair loss in men by 57%, and type 2 diabetes is linked to female pattern hair loss. Reducing sugar intake and using treatments like finasteride and minoxidil may help manage hair loss.

Who is spironolactone used for in androgen-related hair thinning, and who should avoid it? Studies of spironolactone for hair loss are mostly in adult women; its use is off-label, it is avoided in pregnancy and generally not used in men, and the US label advises potassium checks (DailyMed, Aldactone).
