This study found that knockout mice lacking intestinal hephaestin are smaller and anemic compared to wild-type, suggesting other mechanisms may compensate for iron absorption.
Hairloss may be linked to blood flow and inflammation, with treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and quercetin being discussed. The conversation also mentions the role of 5AR enzyme distribution in hair follicles.
Hairloss without a white bulb may indicate mechanical damage, anagen effluvium, alopecia areata, or traction alopecia. Seeking a specialist is recommended, but access can be difficult in smaller areas.
A 31-year-old male with low normal-range testosterone and DHT is experiencing significant hairloss from the front scalp. He has tried Minoxidil, vitamin D3 and B12 supplements, and exercises regularly but is still seeking the root cause and effective treatment.
Diffuse thinning can result in varied regrowth, with some users experiencing better results at the hairline and others at the crown. Treatments mentioned include finasteride, minoxidil (oral and topical), RU58841, microneedling, and dermarolling.
The conversation discusses hairloss patterns and treatments, with one person using dutasteride and oral minoxidil, and another using ketoconazole shampoo for seborrheic dermatitis.

Alfatradiol: Can it help if my hairloss is linked to DHT?The one randomised trial of topical alfatradiol — in 103 women — found hair thickness and density essentially unchanged after six months, while minoxidil improved both; its authors credited alfatradiol with slowing hair loss rather than regrowing hair. Laboratory work supports a local effect on follicular DHT, but no controlled trial in men appears to have been published.
