research Measurement of steroid hormones by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry with small amounts of hair
A new method accurately measures steroid hormones in a few hair strands and could help study chronic stress and hair loss.
research Measurement of Steroid Hormones in Hair: an Analysis of Hormone Dynamics in Hair Follicles
This study developed a novel method using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to measure steroid hormone concentrations in hair, specifically targeting androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The method can analyze 10 types of steroids, including DHT, testosterone, and cortisol, from small hair samples. The study aimed to understand local hormone dynamics in hair follicles, as AGA is linked to high DHT activity in specific scalp regions. Hair samples from 8 healthy men were collected from 9 areas on the head, covering frontal, parietal, and occipital regions, to study the distribution of steroid hormones. The method's validity was confirmed according to FDA guidelines.
research Highly Sensitive Simultaneous Measurement of Steroid Hormone in Human Serum by Liquid Chromatography-electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry
A new method accurately measures nine steroid hormones in human serum with high sensitivity.
research Clinical symptoms and sex steroid measurements in domestic ferrets (Mustela putorius furo) with hyperadrenocorticism
Neutered ferrets often develop hyperadrenocorticism, with symptoms like hair loss and lethargy, and androstenedione is a key indicator for diagnosis.
research Measuring steroids in hair opens up possibilities to identify congenital adrenal hyperplasia in developing countries
Hair steroid measurement is an effective method to diagnose and monitor CAH in developing countries.

5 / 831 resultscommunity AGA responded to steroid shots? Biopsy wrong? Please help!
A woman with AGA is using spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, oral minoxidil, bicalutamide, and anti-androgenic birth control but still experiences worsening hair loss. Steroid shots temporarily stop her hair shedding, leading her to question her biopsy results.
community 50% test increase after 18 months of taking DUT
A user reported a 50% increase in testosterone after 18 months of taking dutasteride for hair loss. The conversation includes skepticism about the reliability of single testosterone tests and questions about estrogen levels.
community Why plain Azelaic acid is a safe and effective product for hairloss that makes Finasteride an obsolete treatment for male pattern baldness.
The conversation discusses the effectiveness of Azelaic acid for hair loss, suggesting it may make Finasteride an outdated treatment for male pattern baldness. Specific treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, Finasteride, and RU58841.
community Taking Finasteride and Creatine.
Finasteride may help prevent hair loss for those concerned about creatine, despite no proven link between creatine and hair loss. Personal experiences with creatine and hair shedding vary.
community The day they make a pill that only targets DHT production in the scalp
Reducing DHT in the scalp is ideal for hair retention, with topical finasteride and dutasteride being common treatments. Some users report side effects like reduced libido, while others experiment with higher doses for regrowth.
