5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Turmeric Inhibits Conversion of Testosterone to DHT; Creatine Enhances It - Kyle Gillett
Turmeric may slightly inhibit DHT, but it likely doesn't significantly impact hair loss. Creatine might increase DHT levels, but its effect on hair loss is debated and not conclusively proven.
community Can aromatase inhibitors make dutasteride/finasteride useless?
The conversation discusses using aromatase inhibitors with dutasteride or finasteride for hair loss, which can prevent testosterone from turning into estrogen but may lead to increased DHT and potentially make finasteride less effective. There's concern about proper dosing and side effects like gynecomastia and emotional changes.
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 Comparing the effect of T suppression and DHT suppression
The conversation discusses the use of 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride and dutasteride for hair loss in transgender women, particularly in relation to testosterone suppression. The original poster has been using dutasteride and is considering stopping it due to undetectable testosterone levels.
community Testosterone and hair loss seeming irrelevance
The conversation is about the role of testosterone in hair loss and the effectiveness of different treatments. The conclusion is that DHT is the main culprit for hair loss, and finasteride has been proven to work long-term in maintaining and regrowing hair. Testosterone may have a minor effect, but it is not the primary cause of hair loss.
