Did you mean Epigenetic Regulation?

GlossaryEpigenetic Regulation

chemical modifications that turn genes on or off

Epigenetic Regulation refers to the process by which genes are turned on or off without changing the underlying DNA sequence. This is achieved through chemical modifications, such as DNA methylation and histone modification, which can influence gene expression and, consequently, cellular function. These changes can be influenced by environmental factors and can be heritable, playing a crucial role in development, disease, and adaptation.

community So I just continue Finasteride for the rest of my life and I get to keep my hair?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 157 upvotes 1 month ago

Finasteride can help maintain hair and slow hair loss, but its effectiveness varies by individual. Some may switch to dutasteride or add minoxidil for better results, though side effects are a concern.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment

in Research 865 upvotes 11 months ago

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
