      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 1 week ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.

      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.
