community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 9 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia

97 upvotes 6 years ago

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.

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 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.

community My results & the importance of nutrition on hair health and growth. (M/30, Diffuse Thinner)

6 upvotes 6 years ago

A 30-year-old man with diffuse hair thinning shared his hair regrowth regimen, which includes increasing Vitamin D intake, taking oral castor oil, using a dermapen, and various supplements like Glycine, K2, Vitamin E, Vitamin C, Aspirin, Sodium Bicarbonate, and a multivitamin. He also mentioned inconsistent use of Minoxidil, Peppermint Oil, Zix, and topical Castor Oil, and negative side effects from Finasteride, RU58841, and Nizoral.

learn GT20029

Is GT20029 safe and effective for both men and women with androgenic alopecia? Not yet. GT20029 is an experimental drug: early trials suggest it is well tolerated, but its effectiveness and long-term safety are unproven, especially in women.

learn Minoxidil

An essential vasodilator with some anti-androgenic effects

learn TDM-105795

What is TDM-105795, and why is it being studied as a potential product for hair loss and hair growth support? TDM-105795 is an experimental drug aimed at treating androgenetic alopecia to promote hair growth.

learn Metformin

diabetes drug with anti-inflammatory, immunomodulatory, and insulin-sensitizing properties

learn Bicalutamide

Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn Spironolactone

How does spironolactone help reduce hair loss when used in topical or oral treatments? Studies report that spironolactone slows androgen-driven follicle miniaturisation by blocking androgen receptors, with most evidence in women and mostly alongside minoxidil; it is a prescription drug and its use for hair loss is off-label.
