community UPDATE: The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 444 upvotes 4 years ago

Hair loss theory involves 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase (3AHD) converting DHT to androstenol. Discussion explores potential treatments and encourages more research.

community The theory that explains everything. Please help me make this big!

in Research/Science 2446 upvotes 4 years ago

The post and conversation are about the role of the enzyme 3alpha-hydroxysteroid reductase in hair loss and the potential of compounds like procyanidin B2 and sulforaphane to boost its activity for hair regrowth. Further research is needed to develop effective treatments based on this theory.
