research 6 Peripheral androgens and the role of androstanediol glucuronide
This review found that women with idiopathic hirsutism may have increased 5α-reductase activity, as indicated by elevated levels of a dihydrotestosterone-reduced metabolite, but more research is needed to confirm its clinical relevance as a biomarker.
research Clinical Usefulness of Plasma Androstanediol Glucuronide Measurements in Women with Idiopathic Hirsutism*
This study found that serum 3 alpha-diol G levels in women with idiopathic hirsutism correlated well with their clinical response to treatment, suggesting its usefulness in evaluating treatment outcomes.
research Clinical relevance of testosterone and dihydrotestosterone metabolism in women
This article reviews the role of 5α-reductase in cutaneous hyperandrogenism and the potential of 5α-reductase inhibitors and antiandrogens in treating conditions like hirsutism and male-pattern baldness, reporting no clinical results.
research Serum 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide is decreased in nonhirsute women with acne vulgaris
This study found that in women with acne vulgaris, lower serum levels of 3α-androstanediol-glucuronide suggest reduced 5α-reductase activity compared to controls, indicating that 5α-reductase inhibitors may not be effective for acne treatment.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity When you think about it blocking dht is not that big of a deal as it’s made out to be
Reducing sebum can indirectly lower DHT levels, with treatments like accutane, tretinoin, and green tea extract acting as DHT blockers. Accutane can lower DHT levels by reducing 5α-reductase activity, but its impact on hair varies.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community People who have overcome the Dutasteride shed, could you please share your story ?
People discussed their experiences with hair loss treatments, particularly dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil. Some users reported prolonged shedding with dutasteride, while others suggested adding topical anti-androgens like RU58841 to manage shedding.
community Testosterone increased after six months of finasteride
A 23-year-old male experienced an increase in testosterone levels after taking 1 mg of finasteride daily for six months, with no significant side effects reported. Users discussed how finasteride inhibits DHT, leading to increased testosterone, and debated the psychological versus physiological effects of the medication.
community Can testosterone alone cause hair loss even after nuking DHT?
Testosterone can still cause hair loss even when DHT is blocked by dutasteride, especially if hair follicles are sensitive. Topical treatments like RU58841 or pyrilutamide may help, but their long-term effectiveness is uncertain compared to dutasteride.

1 / 801 results- Could bicalutamide help trans women regrow hair lost to testosterone? No study has tested bicalutamide for hair regrowth in trans women. In cisgender women the only randomized trial found it added nothing to minoxidil, and it is an off-label prescription drug that requires liver monitoring.
