research Identification of androgen-regulated genes in SV40-transformed human hair dermal papilla cells

12 citations , May 2003 in “Journal of dermatological science”

This study found that the heat shock cognate protein Hsc70 was differentially expressed by dihydrotestosterone treatment in SV40-transformed dermal papilla cells, suggesting its involvement in androgen action on these cells.

research The Associations of Androgen-Related Genes CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 with Severe Acne Vulgaris in Patients from Southwest China

10 citations , March 2021 in “Clinical Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology”

This study found that specific genetic variants in the CYP21A2 and CYP19A1 genes were associated with severe acne vulgaris among Han Chinese, particularly in male patients.

research Thyroid hormones and androgens differentially regulate gene expression in testes and ovaries of sexually mature Silurana tropicalis

13 citations , July 2018 in “General and comparative endocrinology”

This study observed that direct exposure to androgens in Western clawed frogs differentially affects thyroid receptor and deiodinase gene expression in male and female tissues, offering insight into sex-specific metabolic pathway activation.

research No Evidence that 2D:4D is Related to the Number of CAG Repeats in the Androgen Receptor Gene

40 citations , January 2013 in “Frontiers in Endocrinology”

Finger length ratios are not linked to the number of specific gene repeats affecting testosterone sensitivity.

research Minoxidil may suppress androgen receptor-related functions

24 citations , April 2014 in “Oncotarget”

This study found that minoxidil suppressed androgen receptor functions and stability, suggesting its potential use in treating diseases related to the androgen-AR pathway.

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 Fun thought experiment about halting hair loss permamently

59 upvotes 2 years ago

A user proposed genetically engineering scalp stem cells to stop androgen receptors from causing hair loss. Others discussed the feasibility, existing research, and potential issues with this approach, including targeting the correct cells and unintended effects.

community How many of you guys have taken accutane?

in Chat 8 upvotes 1 year ago

Accutane may accelerate hair loss in genetically predisposed individuals by affecting enzymes related to DHT metabolism. Some users report hair loss after taking Accutane, while others use treatments like finasteride and minoxidil to manage hair loss.

community The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men

136 upvotes 1 year ago

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.

community Sugar and Hair loss connections

in Research/Science 41 upvotes 1 year ago

High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
