community DHT levels went up after 6 months of finasteride usage.

22 upvotes 2 weeks ago

Finasteride's effectiveness may be reduced due to heat exposure, affecting DHT levels. Testing methods and medication storage conditions are likely factors in the unchanged DHT levels.

community DHT levels after 10 months on dut 0.5 ed, how is this even possible?

2 upvotes 10 months ago

A user experienced accelerated hairline recession after adding dutasteride to their regimen of topical finasteride and minoxidil, despite reduced hair shedding. They were informed that ELISA testing for DHT levels can be highly inaccurate.

community DHT levels and correlation to hair loss

in Chat 3 upvotes 11 months ago

The user experienced hair shedding after starting testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) and is considering using DHT blockers like finasteride or dutasteride to address potential DHT-related hair loss. Low ferritin levels due to frequent blood donations may also contribute to hair issues, and the user is working on stabilizing iron levels.

community DHT Levels, Finasteride and Creatine

9 upvotes 3 years ago

The user experienced a decrease in DHT levels after starting finasteride and noted improved gym performance with creatine. They observed hair improvement and are considering adding more minoxidil to their routine.

community DHT LEVEL IS 700pg/ml AFTER 8 MONTHS OF DUTASTERIDE

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 22 upvotes 1 year ago

The user had high DHT levels after 8 months on dutasteride, questioning the drug's authenticity. They got dutasteride from a legitimate source and will update on progress.

Increased DHT Levels in Androgenic Alopecia Selected to Protect Men from Prostate Cancer

research Increased DHT levels in androgenic alopecia have been selected for to protect men from prostate cancer

9 citations , January 2014 in “Medical Hypotheses”

This article discusses the hypothesis that mechanisms driving androgenic alopecia may reduce the risk and proliferation of prostate cancer by increasing prostaglandin D2 levels but presents no new clinical findings.

Effects of Nano-Cerium Oxide on DHT, TGF-β, and IGF-1 Levels in AGA Model Mice and Efficacy Observation

research Effects of Nano-cerium Oxide on the Levels of DHT, TGF-β, and IGF-1 in the Local Skin of AGA Model Mice and Efficacy Observation

January 2025 in “Journal of Contemporary Medical Practice”

The researchers reported that nano-cerium oxide improved androgenetic alopecia in mice by increasing the ratio of terminal to vellus hairs, elevating IGF-1 expression, and reducing TGF-β and DHT levels in the skin, suggesting potential for drug development.

research Androgen Levels and Body Size Are Associated with Directional as Well as Fluctuating Asymmetry Patterns in Adult !Kung San and Kavango Males from Northern Namibia

10 citations , May 2017 in “Symmetry”

This study observed that among !Kung San males, adult androgen levels, particularly DHT, were negatively associated with indicators of fluctuating and directional asymmetry, suggesting a link to phenotype quality.

research Serum Levels of Androgen-Associated Hormones Are Correlated with Curative Effect in Androgenic Alopecia in Young Men

9 citations , October 2018 in “Medical Science Monitor”

In this study, oral finasteride therapy was associated with decreased DHT levels and improved hair loss severity in young male AGA patients, while hormonal changes influenced the curative effect.

High-Throughput and Direct Measurement of Androgen Levels Using Turbulent Flow Chromatography Liquid Chromatography-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry to Discover Chemicals That Modulate Dihydrotestosterone Production in Human Prostate Cancer Cells

research High-throughput and direct measurement of androgen levels using turbulent flow chromatography liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (TFC-LC-TQMS) to discover chemicals that modulate dihydrotestosterone production in human prostate cancer cells

2 citations , November 2017 in “Biotechnology Letters”

This study developed a high-throughput method that identifies bioactive chemicals influencing DHT production in prostate cancer cells, with potential nutraceutical candidates including fucoxanthin, phenethyl caffeate, and Curcuma longa L. extract.

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 Saw Palmetto

Is saw palmetto as effective as finasteride against DHT? Finasteride is more effective than saw palmetto in reducing DHT levels.

learn RU58841

RU58841: What's the difference between minoxidil and finasteride? Minoxidil stimulates hair growth, while finasteride reduces DHT levels to prevent hair loss.

learn Cyproterone

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

learn Clascoterone

a novel topical treatment that inhibits DHT on androgen receptors

learn Sulforaphane

compound from cruciferous vegetables has some mild effects on DHT

learn Finasteride

Frontline, gold standard treatment for combatting androgenic alopecia

learn Dutasteride

Heavy duty finasteride that comes with higher risks

learn Bicalutamide

Can bicalutamide stop DHT from shrinking your hair follicles? Bicalutamide blocks androgens at the receptor rather than lowering DHT, and some dermatologists prescribe it off-label for women with pattern hair loss. The published evidence is retrospective case series and one small pilot study, with no randomized trial; it is a prescription drug that requires liver monitoring and is contraindicated in pregnancy.

learn Exosomes

What does Fluridil do on the scalp, and how does it block the DHT hormone? Fluridil blocks DHT by binding to androgen receptors in hair follicles, preventing hair loss.
