      community Why dont we research more on body hair

      in Chat  29 upvotes 4 days ago
      Body hair is more resilient than scalp hair due to different gene expressions and DHT sensitivity. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for hair loss, but they have varying effects on body and scalp hair.
      Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

      community Can liver problems be associated with response to the oral minoxidil?

      in Research  147 upvotes 1 month ago
      Liver problems may reduce the effectiveness of oral minoxidil due to impaired SULT1A1 enzyme activity, which is crucial for converting minoxidil to its active form. This reduction in enzyme function can significantly decrease the drug's effectiveness in promoting hair growth.

      community Why hasn’t anyone made a "DHT sponge" biologic yet???

      in Research/Science  45 upvotes 3 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential for developing a biologic "DHT sponge" to neutralize DHT in the bloodstream as a treatment for hair loss, suggesting it could be more targeted and have fewer side effects than current treatments like finasteride and dutasteride. Concerns include the complexity, cost, and potential side effects of such a treatment, as well as skepticism about its feasibility and market interest.
