community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?
CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
community Switched from finasteride to dutasteride - 2 month update
The user switched from finasteride to dutasteride for hair loss treatment, but experienced increased libido, itchy scalp, and accelerated hair loss. Another user suggested that genetic variations might cause dutasteride to be less effective and recommended checking for specific genetic markers.
community My hair journey: 2017 through the present
A user shared their hair loss journey from 2017 to 2024, detailing the use of finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, supplements, and dermarolling. They experienced significant hair loss after stopping finasteride in 2017, saw some regrowth after resuming treatments in 2023, and are considering a hair transplant.
community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!
Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.
