Did you mean SRD5A2 gene?

GlossarySRD5A2 gene

gene converts testosterone into potent androgen DHT

The SRD5A2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called steroid 5-alpha reductase type 2. This enzyme is crucial for converting testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a more potent androgen that plays a key role in the development of male characteristics and is also implicated in conditions like male pattern baldness and certain forms of alopecia.

community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.

community Study shows further evidence that finasteride and dutasteride take 12-18 months or more to show significant results. Do NOT give up early

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 247 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the effectiveness of finasteride and dutasteride in treating hair loss, emphasizing that significant results often take 12-18 months or more. Dutasteride is generally considered superior, with similar or fewer side effects than finasteride, but patience is required for noticeable improvement.

community Anyone experienced weight gain on dutasteride?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 6 upvotes 2 years ago

Dutasteride can lead to increased cholesterol and liver fat. The user is reconsidering its use due to high cholesterol and lipid levels despite a healthy lifestyle.

community A systematic bro-science review of DHT, 5AR, neurosteroids, sexual health and 5AR inhibitors

in Research/Science 37 upvotes 2 years ago

Hair loss treatments, specifically 5AR inhibitors, can impact neurosteroids and sexual health. The effects of topical fin/dut on tissue-specific DHT levels are unclear.

community CRISPR Is Curing People Right Now. Genetic Hair Loss is Next?

in Technology 107 upvotes 1 month ago

CRISPR shows promise for treating hair loss by targeting specific genes. Current treatments include Minoxidil and finasteride, but CRISPR could offer a more precise solution, though it is still expensive and in early stages.
