research High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein Levels and Their Relationship with Components of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome in Indian Adolescent Women with PCOS
Higher hs-CRP levels in Indian adolescent women with PCOS are more related to BMI than PCOS itself.
research A Study on the Relationship Between Androgenetic Alopecia and Cardiovascular Risk Using High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Galectin-3 in Men With Early Onset Baldness
Men with early baldness have similar heart risk factors as others, but certain proteins are linked to higher heart disease risk.
research Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia Using High-Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein and Lipoprotein A
People with androgenetic alopecia have a higher risk of heart disease.
research Prospective Study of the Metabolic Effects of Tumescent Liposuction
Tumescent liposuction reduces waist and hip size but doesn't significantly change metabolic markers, though it may slightly improve blood pressure and certain protein levels.
research An Investigation of Vitamin D Status in Alopecia Areata

Clinical studies by Dr. Barghouthi and Dr. Bloxham indicate that Verteporfin, when used with FUE and FUT hair transplantation methods, shows promise in hair follicle regeneration and minimal scarring due to its ability to inhibit Yes-associated protein (YAP). Microneedling at depths of 3-3.5mm, combined with Verteporfin, could potentially reactivate dormant follicles, although the optimal dosage and application method are still under investigation. Concerns remain about the DHT sensitivity of regenerated follicles, highlighting the need for further research to optimize trauma levels and Verteporfin concentrations to achieve effective and scar-free hair regeneration.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community Topical fin and min and swallowing semen
A user asked if it's safe to swallow semen from a partner using topical finasteride and minoxidil. Responses varied, but most suggested it's likely safe, with minimal risk from small amounts of finasteride in semen.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community I find it crazy how some people like this bloke have 0 DHT sensitivity. He is on grams of anabolic steroids and has a full, thick head of hair. I wish all of on here had this guys hair genes lol
The conversation is about hair loss and the possibility of maintaining a full head of hair while using anabolic steroids. Some users believe that having good hair genes and taking hair loss protocols can help prevent hair loss while on steroids.
