GlossaryAndrostanediol Glucuronide

metabolite of dihydrotestosterone linked to hair loss and hirsutism

Androstanediol Glucuronide (3α-Diol G) is a metabolite of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent androgen hormone. It is often measured in clinical settings to assess androgen activity in the body, as elevated levels can be associated with conditions like androgenic alopecia (hair loss) and hirsutism (excessive hair growth).

community When you think about it blocking dht is not that big of a deal as it’s made out to be

in Research/Science 1 month ago

Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.

community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 199 upvotes 9 months ago

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 Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 1 year ago

Elevated bile acids can inhibit the enzyme AKR1C2, leading to increased DHT levels, which may accelerate hair loss in those predisposed to androgenetic alopecia. Treatments mentioned include topical minoxidil and finasteride.

community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 2452 upvotes 4 years ago

The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.

community Insane dutasteride shed 4 months after switching.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 115 upvotes 2 years ago

The post and conversation are about a user's experience with hair loss treatments, specifically switching from finasteride to dutasteride. The user experienced significant hair shedding after the switch, with others suggesting patience, noting similar experiences, or questioning the user's decision and medical consultation.
