research The promoter of an androgen dependent gene in the hamster flank organ

6 citations , May 1997 in “Journal of Dermatological Science”

Researchers found a gene in hamsters that responds to male hormones and may be indirectly controlled by them.

research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women

105 citations , January 2009 in “Medicine”

Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.

research Three cases of androgen‐dependent disease associated with myotonic dystrophy

8 citations , January 2003 in “JEADV. Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology/Journal of the European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

Women with myotonic dystrophy might get diseases related to male hormones because their body tissues are extra sensitive to these hormones.

research Androgen-Dependent Beard Dermal Papilla Cells Secrete Autocrine Growth Factor(s) in Response to Testosterone Unlike Scalp Cells

51 citations , November 1998 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology”

Beard cells, unlike scalp cells, produce growth factors in response to testosterone, which may explain differences in hair growth.

research Hidradenitis suppurativa: an-androgen-dependent disorder

49 citations , September 1986 in “British Journal of Dermatology”

Hidradenitis suppurativa improves with antiandrogen therapy.

community Trans: Do I need to use Finnasteride?

in Transgender 2 years ago

A transgender individual is starting spironolactone and estradiol for hormone replacement therapy (HRT) and is considering adding finasteride to help with hair loss. They are also planning to use minoxidil and microneedle, but are unsure if they need to use another anti-androgen or more aggressive treatments. A respondent advises against using pyri and suggests waiting to see if the HRT alone is sufficient before becoming dependent on minoxidil.

community Has anyone powered through the creatine shedding (via increased androgen receptor sensitivity) and stabilized?

in Update 8 upvotes 11 months ago

Creatine may cause increased hair shedding due to androgen receptor sensitivity, despite limited evidence. The user is using dutasteride and minoxidil and seeks advice on whether shedding will stabilize, with suggestions including GHK-Cu and RU58841.

community Minoxidil is a 5ar inhibitor according to research

in Research/Science 148 upvotes 9 months ago

Minoxidil may inhibit androgen receptors and affect hormonal pathways, potentially explaining its effectiveness in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA). Users discuss its varying effectiveness on scalp versus facial hair and note fewer side effects with topical use compared to oral.

community A new study by Deng and colleagues set out to explore differences between balding and non balding scalps...

in Research/Science 38 upvotes 4 years ago

Balding scalps have more androgen receptors, leading to increased TGF-beta, which causes blood vessel loss and hair follicle miniaturization. Blocking androgen signaling and TGF-beta may help prevent hair loss.

community Sugar and Hair loss connections

in Research/Science 41 upvotes 1 year ago

High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
