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 Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones
Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.
community DUPA, Non Responders and Connective Tissue Disorders
A 27-year-old male with diffuse hair loss, including the donor area, did not respond to finasteride, dutasteride, or minoxidil. He suspects his hair loss may be linked to a mild connective tissue disorder, possibly affecting the structural support of hair follicles, rather than being purely hormonal.
community Anyone used Topical Calcipotriol (cream) or VPA ( Valproic Acid)
The conversation discusses using topical Calcipotriol and Valproic Acid for hair loss, focusing on their mechanisms involving the VDR receptor and Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Specific treatments mentioned are Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community Using topical vitamin D, does it make sense?
Topical Calcipotriol (vitamin D derivative) may help with hair regrowth, especially for alopecia areata. The user wonders if adding classic vitamin D to lotions like Minoxidil could have a similar effect.
