research Transcriptome Analysis to Identify the Downstream Genes of Androgen Receptor in Dermal Papilla Cells
The study found that androgen receptors in skin cells mainly affect the focal adhesion pathway and control the caveolin-1 gene, with implications for new treatments for related diseases.
research Human-Derived Immortalized Dermal Papilla Cells With Constant Expression of Androgen Receptor
Researchers created immortal human skin cells with constant testosterone receptor activity to study hair loss and test treatments.
research Comprehensive Transcriptome Data to Identify Downstream Genes of Testosterone Signaling in Dermal Papilla Cells
The research identified genes and non-coding RNAs in cells that could be affected by testosterone, which may help understand hair loss and prostate cancer.
research Prostaglandin D2 Uses Components of ROS Signaling to Enhance Testosterone Production in Keratinocytes
Prostaglandin D2 increases testosterone production in skin cells through a process involving reactive oxygen species, and antioxidants may help treat hair loss.
research Mitochondria Dysfunction and Inflammation in Traumatic Brain Injury: Androgens to the Battlefront
Androgens like testosterone may help treat traumatic brain injury by reducing mitochondrial stress and inflammation.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Trestolone (MENT) as a nuclear treatment
Experimenting with trestolone as a treatment for hair loss in an attempt to avoid DHT-related treatments such as finasteride and dutasteride, and discussing the potential effects of its receptor selectivity on the androgen receptors in the scalp.
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.
community DHT Isn't (Directly) Important
Finasteride's potential side effects, especially sexual dysfunction, are discussed, with emphasis on hormonal balance between testosterone and estradiol. Users share experiences with finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride, highlighting the variability in side effects and the influence of mindset and lifestyle.
community The 'DHT itch' is real - notes from a casual bodybuilder
The "DHT itch" is real and likely due to inflammation at the hair follicle, exacerbated by increased testosterone or androgens. Treatments mentioned include dutasteride, minoxidil, finasteride, and various topical solutions.
community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?
The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
