research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles

January 2024 in “Institutional Repositories DataBase (IRDB)”

This study developed a method to measure local steroid hormone concentrations in hair, providing new insights into hormone dynamics associated with androgenetic alopecia.

research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair

11 citations , September 2020 in “Steroids”

This study developed a new method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry to measure multiple steroid hormones in hair, requiring significantly fewer strands than previous methods, with high accuracy and precision.

Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry

research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry

March 2022 in “VNU Journal of Science Medical and Pharmaceutical Sciences”

community Anyone else get their hormone levels checked on dutasteride?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 19 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride effectively reduces DHT levels and significantly increases testosterone levels. Users are cautious about adding oral minoxidil due to potential heart issues and are considering dosage adjustments with medical guidance.

community Minoxidil: How It Changes the Scalp Hormone Environment

78 upvotes 7 months ago

Minoxidil increases blood supply to the scalp, strengthening dormant follicles and extending the growth phase, but may increase scalp activity that can be countered with DHT blockers. Women experiencing side effects from finasteride or dutasteride for hair loss might consider alternatives like estrogen, especially if on birth control.

community Planning to take a break from Fin for a 2 months then start with Pyrilutamide - What hormone levels to test?

2 upvotes 3 years ago

The user plans to pause finasteride for two months to test its effects on mood and productivity, then switch to Pyrilutamide while monitoring hormone levels. Concerns are raised about potential hair loss and the effectiveness of Pyrilutamide compared to finasteride.

community Finasteride - impact on Neurosteroids, which yes, \are important and not a garbage hormone

in Research/Science 163 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride may affect neurosteroids, impacting mood and sexual function, with varied user experiences. Some report side effects like depression and sexual dysfunction, while others find it effective for hair retention or prefer alternatives like Dutasteride or topical treatments.

community Estradiol (E2), Testosterone and DHT levels after 1 month on Dutasteride

in Research/Science 11 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride and finasteride are used for hair loss, affecting hormone levels like DHT and testosterone. Hormone balance is crucial, as changes can lead to side effects such as increased estradiol and potential hair loss.

learn Centella

Sensitive to hormones? A centella scalp mask may help ease hidden inflamm Centella asiatica has anti-inflammatory and wound-healing effects in animal and cell studies, but no published research has tested a centella scalp mask on the human scalp, in hormonal contexts or otherwise, and no community reports were found of one being used this way.

learn Estradiol

Why is Estradiol used to treat hair loss in women and transgender people undergoing hormone therapy? Estradiol helps treat hair loss by balancing hormones and supporting hair follicle health.
Is applying Estradiol directly to the scalp effective for hormone-related hair thinning? Applying Estradiol directly to the scalp may help with hormone-related hair thinning.

learn procapil

Want to stop hormonal hair loss without touching your hormone levels? Procapil could block the enzyme doing the damage. Procapil's supplier describes it as inhibiting 5-alpha reductase at the scalp without changing hormone levels, but the published support is cell and animal work plus one small human study of a caffeine-plus-Procapil formula. It is a cosmetic ingredient, not an approved hair-loss treatment, and no trial has compared it with finasteride or minoxidil.

learn Clascoterone

Can I use clascoterone if I'm undergoing gender-affirming hormone therapy? No published clinical trial has tested clascoterone in people on gender-affirming hormone therapy, so its safety in that group is unknown. The FDA label reports low systemic exposure and no described effect on blood testosterone, but it also records HPA-axis suppression and raised potassium in a small minority of subjects.
