Both treatments reduced androgen levels and hair growth in women with hirsutism.
research The influence of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) on the ovarian production of androgens in a context of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) – preliminary results
High levels of fatty acids are linked to increased androgen production and inflammation in women with PCOS, which may affect IVF outcomes.
research Influence of interleukin‐1α on androgen receptor expression and cytokine secretion by cultured human dermal papilla cells
Interleukin‐1 α reduces androgen receptor levels and increases certain cytokines in human scalp cells.
research Influence of estrogens on the androgen metabolism in different subunits of human hair follicles.
Estrogens can reduce DHT production in hair follicles, but are less effective than finasteride and progesterone.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity News on the study " Influence of Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation on Androgens and Global Hair Assessments "
The study on creatine monohydrate's effect on hair loss was withdrawn due to lack of support. Users discussed concerns about creatine potentially accelerating hair loss, especially for those using finasteride.
community Heads Up on Future Study: "Influence of Creatine Monohydrate Supplementation on Androgens and Global Hair Assessments"
Creatine supplementation may increase DHT levels, potentially affecting hair loss. A study is examining this effect, with participants taking 5 grams of creatine daily for six months.
community Binding affinity does not equal potency for anti androgens? Comparing pyrilutimide to cb-03-01
Pyrilutimide and CB-03-01, two treatments for hair loss, have similar clinical trial results despite different binding affinities to androgen receptors. Factors other than binding affinity, like the time a drug stays bound to the receptor, may influence their effectiveness.
community Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism
Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
community Why does MPB only affect the scalp
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be influenced by androgen receptors in scalp hair follicles and potentially poor blood flow. Transplanted hair is not immune to DHT, and factors like inflammation and scalp tension might also contribute to hair loss.
