5 / 20 resultscommunity The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community New study: Vitamin D counteracts DHT in mice and in human hair organ culture and hair cells
Vitamin D may counteract DHT and help with hair growth, as seen in mice and human hair cultures. Some users discuss using Vitamin D, magnesium, and other supplements for hair health, while others humorously note the success in mice.
community Bile Acid-Mediated DHT Dysregulation Hypothesis
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 DHT/Testosterone levels in scalp Fin VS Dut.
Dutasteride raises scalp testosterone by 99%, which may not be ideal for those sensitive to all androgens. Some argue finasteride's balancing act might be better, while others believe dutasteride is superior for hair regrowth.
