5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Membrane androgen receptors may mediate androgen reinforcement
The study investigated the role of nuclear androgen receptors (ARs) in anabolic androgenic steroid (AAS) self-administration using rats with the testicular feminization mutation (Tfm) and wild-type (WT) littermates. Both Tfm and WT rats self-administered dihydrotestosterone (DHT) similarly, indicating that nuclear ARs were not essential for AAS self-administration. Additionally, hamsters showed a preference for DHT and DHT conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA), but not for BSA alone, suggesting that androgen self-administration might be mediated by plasma membrane receptors rather than nuclear ARs.

5 / 22 resultscommunity Pyrilutamide update: three months
A user's 3-month experience with pyrilutamide to reduce hair shedding, and how it may not be strong enough to stop the thinning of their hairline. Other users mentioned the effectiveness of minoxidil and finasteride for treating hair loss.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
community Boys how is no one seeing positive results from pyrilutamide
Pyrilutimide, a treatment for hair loss; it's effectiveness compared to other treatments such as Finasteride and RU58841; and some users’ experiences with the treatment.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
