community DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.

community Increased adipose tissue (being overweight) in males may increase likelyhood of finasterde side effects

in Research/Science 29 upvotes 1 year ago

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 Just popped my first fin, excited as hell!

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 154 upvotes 2 years ago

A user shared their excitement about starting finasteride for hair loss after trying various ineffective methods. Other users discussed their experiences with finasteride, including shedding phases and side effects, with one mentioning using topical finasteride and minoxidil.

community My understanding of how androgenetic alopecia works (plus FIN and DUT)

in Research/Science 17 upvotes 4 years ago

Androgenetic alopecia is affected by scalp DHT levels, not sensitivity, with treatments like finasteride and dutasteride aiming to optimize these levels. Personalized DHT management is crucial for effective hair growth.
