research The 'Bald' Phenotype (Androgenetic Alopecia) Is Caused by the High Glycemic, High Cholesterol, and Low Mineral 'Western Diet'
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Androgen Sensitivity Gateway to COVID-19 Disease Severity
Men's sensitivity to male hormones might affect how severe COVID-19 gets for them.
research The Transcriptional Co-Activator cAMP Response Element-Binding Protein-Binding Protein Is Expressed in Prostate Cancer and Enhances Androgen- and Anti-Androgen-Induced Androgen Receptor Function
A protein called CBP is found in prostate cancer and can increase the effectiveness of certain prostate cancer treatments.

5 / 813 resultscommunity Bloodwork reports just came in
A 21-year-old male suffering from male pattern baldness is using topical finasteride and minoxidil, and oral minoxidil. His bloodwork shows normal DHT levels and slightly high testosterone, leading to discussions about the role of DHT sensitivity in hair loss, the potential impact of finasteride on his DHT levels, and the suggestion to proceed with oral finasteride due to his high testosterone.
community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects
Being overweight may increase finasteride side effects due to higher aromatase activity converting testosterone to estradiol. Maintaining a healthy weight could reduce these side effects.
community Why use Finasteride instead of Dutasteride?
People are discussing why some choose finasteride over dutasteride for hair loss, noting that while dutasteride is more effective, it's also more expensive, less researched, and potentially has more side effects. Some users shared personal experiences with side effects from both drugs, and others mentioned that finasteride is FDA approved for hair loss, while dutasteride is not, except in Japan.
community My 3 year experience and progress pics with 6 different treatments
The user tried Finasteride, Dutasteride, Minoxidil, RU58841, dermarolling, and oral castor oil for hair loss. They found RU58841 and Minoxidil most effective with no side effects, while Finasteride and Dutasteride caused sexual side effects.
community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
