research Probing androgen receptor co-factor selectivity profiles: a chemical tool to determine cross-talk between androgen receptor and β-catenin in vivo
PF-05314882 selectively activates androgen receptors without much effect on prostate and may help in prostate cancer treatment and hair loss prevention.
research Improving selective androgen receptor modulator discovery and preclinical evaluation
We need better ways to test and understand SARMs to make safer and more effective treatments.
research In Vitroandin VivoStructure-Activity Relationships of Novel Androgen Receptor Ligands with Multiple Substituents in the B-Ring
Certain changes to the B-ring of androgen receptor ligands can increase their effectiveness for potential treatments of muscle and bone conditions.
research A genomic approach to susceptibility and pathogenesis leads to identifying potential novel therapeutic targets in androgenetic alopecia
Genomic approach finds new possible treatments for hair loss.
research Androgen receptor modulators: a review of recent patents and reports (2012-2018)
New androgen receptor modulators show promise for treating diseases like prostate cancer and muscle wasting.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia
Hair loss theory suggests imbalance between Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) and Androgen Receptor (AR) activation. Proposed treatment includes upregulating VDR, downregulating AR, and improving mitochondrial health.
community New Research- Creatine Increasing Scalp DHT Without Corresponding Serum DHT Increase
Creatine may increase scalp DHT without affecting serum DHT, potentially speeding up male pattern baldness (MPB) for those genetically prone. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community AH-001 another topical AR degrader beside GT20029, completed Phase I
AH-001 is a new topical treatment designed to degrade androgen receptors, targeting the root cause of androgenetic alopecia without the side effects of oral treatments like finasteride. It has shown a strong safety profile and good local tolerability in early trials.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
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.
community (M22) Finasteride didn’t stop my hair loss. Looks like I’ve lost the fight against MPB.
User started finasteride at 18, added minoxidil later but stopped due to side effects. Hair loss continued despite treatments, considering dutasteride but hesitant. Others suggest trying dutasteride and discussing with a dermatologist.
