COVID-19 and Androgenic Status: Do Testosterone or Dihydrotestosterone Have a Pivotal Role?

research COVID-19 and androgenic status: testosterone or dihydrotestosterone have a pivotal role?

January 2023 in “Journal of men's health”

This study found a weak positive correlation between dihydrotestosterone levels and C-reactive protein in COVID-19 patients, particularly in those with low testosterone, suggesting potential inflammatory effects.

research Health Status, Coping Strategies, and Alexithymia in Subjects with Androgenetic Alopecia

40 citations , February 2013 in “American Journal of Clinical Dermatology”

This study found that people with androgenic alopecia, particularly women, are more prone to anxiety and depression, often adopting avoidant coping strategies, which are linked to emotional and psychological impacts rather than clinical severity.

research STATUS OF MEDICAL TREATMENT FOR ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

13 citations , October 1993 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

Minoxidil effectively promotes hair regrowth in younger patients with small balding areas.

research HORMONAL STATUS IN POSTMENOPAUSAL ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA

1 citations , December 1992 in “International Journal of Dermatology”

This study found no significant differences in hormone levels between postmenopausal women with androgenetic alopecia and healthy controls, suggesting potential alternative causes for the condition.

research Clinical and epidemiological characteristics and condition of the hormonal status in women with androgenetic alopecia (1139.3)

April 2014 in “The FASEB Journal”

This study examined 12 women with androgenetic alopecia and found that many had other symptoms linked to hyperandrogenism, suggesting the importance of further hormone level investigations.

community How are Procapil, Capixl and Redensyl for combatting hair loss?

6 upvotes 4 years ago

User asks about Procapil, Capixl, and Redensyl for hair loss treatment. Reply states they are ineffective for androgenic alopecia.

community Binding affinity of pyrilutamide!

172 upvotes 4 years ago

Pyrilutamide, a nonsteroidal antiandrogen drug under development for the potential treatment of androgenic alopecia. The conversation discusses its binding affinity to the androgen receptor and the timeline for possible availability after trials are completed in the United States and China.

community Vitamin D deficiency strongly correlates with androgenic alopecia, FMPH and telogen effluvium

168 upvotes 1 year ago

Vitamin D deficiency is linked to hair loss, and supplementation with vitamin D can improve conditions like androgenic alopecia and telogen effluvium. Users discussed various dosages of vitamin D, emphasizing the importance of getting blood tests to determine the appropriate amount.

community Anti-androgens - resist hair loss, but inhibit hair regrowth?

1 upvotes 2 years ago

Blocking androgen receptors may prevent hair loss but also inhibit hair regrowth. Anti-androgens like RU58841 and pyrilutamide slow hair loss but show minimal regrowth.

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.

learn Cyproterone

a synthetic anti-androgen and weak progestogen that inhibits DHT binding to androgen receptor

learn RU58841

a potent but unapproved and potentially problematic topical anti-androgen

learn Saw Palmetto

a natural and far less effective alternative to Finasteride

learn Osteopontin

signaling protein that, when suppressed, may grow hair by reducing inflammation and stem cell loss

learn Finasteride

Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn Spironolactone

Who can safely use spironolactone for hair thinning and androgen-related hair loss? Women with androgen-related hair loss can safely use spironolactone under medical supervision.

learn Argan oil

Argan oil: Is it useful for androgenic alopecia, or just for making hair look nice? Argan oil primarily improves hair appearance but lacks proven effectiveness for androgenic alopecia.

learn Metformin

Does metformin help control DHT levels that trigger androgenic alopecia? Metformin has been shown to lower circulating androgens in women with PCOS, but no published study has measured scalp DHT, 5-alpha reductase activity in the follicle, or hair density in anyone taking it — so its effect on pattern hair loss is untested, and it is not a DHT blocker.

learn Microneedling

Does microneedling help with all types of alopecia, or only androgenic alopecia? Microneedling is most effective for androgenic alopecia, with limited evidence for other types.
