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 Dutasteride Mesotherapy seems like the best of all worlds.. Why isn't it talked about more?
Dutasteride mesotherapy is discussed as a potentially effective hair loss treatment with no sexual side effects, requiring less frequent application than daily pills. However, it is not widely popular due to limited availability, high cost, and skepticism about its effectiveness.
community Has been on minoxidil for 5 years. Microneedling for 4 weeks no results.
The user has used minoxidil for five years and added microneedling for four weeks without seeing results. They are considering a hair transplant but are advised that hair loss will persist without a DHT blocker.
community Why nobody uses 0.25% (2.5mg/ml)?
The conversation is about the effectiveness of 0.25% topical finasteride compared to other concentrations and forms. Users discuss its potential for better scalp DHT reduction and fewer side effects, with some preferring topical over oral treatments.
community Peptides that Stop Hair Loss? | In-depth Literature Review Video
Peptides like TB500, KPV, GHK-CU, and BPC-157 are overhyped for hair growth with limited proven effectiveness in humans. Combining peptides with delivery methods like iontophoresis and sonophoresis shows promise, but many claims remain unproven.
