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 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 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.
community A meta analysis of 18 popular hair loss treatments. An 2022 guide on efficacy. From finasteride and minoxidil to caffeine shampoo, saw palmetto and biotin. 96 Scientific References included.
Most hair loss treatments are ineffective; only finasteride, dutasteride, and minoxidil show effectiveness.
community Natural Remedies: Polyphenols and Hair Loss
Natural remedies to treat hair loss, such as polyphenols, apple peel extract, grape seed extract, green tea extract, peppermint oil, pumpkin seed oil, apigenin, Ginkgo biloba, red clover extract, olive leaf extract, Ecklonia Cava and Grateloupia elliptica. In addition, terpenes, carotenoids, and tocopherols were discussed as potential treatments.
community DIY treatment… Shedding completely stopped after 1.5 yrs
Vitamin C mixed with shampoo stopped shedding and promoted hair regrowth after 1.5 years. Both the person and their wife experienced significant hair loss reduction with this method.
