    method to convert RNA into DNA and amplify it

    Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) is a laboratory technique used to convert RNA into DNA and then amplify specific DNA sequences. This method is crucial for studying gene expression, detecting RNA viruses, and diagnosing diseases, as it allows scientists to measure the amount of RNA in a sample by first transcribing it into complementary DNA (cDNA) and then amplifying it for analysis.

      A user is trying to reverse male pattern baldness (MPB) naturally by taking high doses of Vitamin D, improving diet, exercising, reducing stress, and other lifestyle changes, but plans to use finasteride if no results are seen in 60 days. Other users are skeptical, advising medical treatments like finasteride and warning against potential vitamin D overdose and the ineffectiveness of natural remedies for genetic hair loss.

      community Testosterone in Reference Range Doesn't Cause Hair Loss

      in Research/Science  51 upvotes 9 months ago
      Testosterone within the normal range does not significantly contribute to male pattern baldness (MPB); DHT is the main factor that can be controlled. Genetics play a crucial role in hair loss, and treatments like finasteride and dutasteride, which block DHT, can help despite potentially raising testosterone levels.
