Glossary Lipid Content

amount of fats in a biological sample

Lipid Content refers to the amount of fats or fat-like substances present in a given sample, such as hair, skin, or other biological tissues. These lipids play crucial roles in maintaining the structural integrity and function of cells, as well as in energy storage and signaling processes. Understanding lipid content is important for both health assessments and the formulation of cosmetic and therapeutic products.

community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 4 upvotes 4 months ago

Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.

community Why is dutasteride's volume of distribution so much bigger than finasteride? Is it more lipophilic and crosses barriers better?

23 upvotes 1 year ago

Dutasteride has a larger volume of distribution than finasteride due to its lipophilic nature, allowing it to concentrate in hydrophobic areas and making it difficult to excrete. A user experiencing hair loss has been using oral finasteride for 10 months with minimal regrowth and is considering switching to dutasteride or adding oral minoxidil.
