Did you mean GABA receptor?

GlossaryGABA receptor

protein in the brain that inhibits neuronal activity

A GABA receptor is a protein in the brain that responds to the neurotransmitter gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). It plays a crucial role in reducing neuronal excitability throughout the nervous system. There are two main types: GABA(A) receptors, which are ion channels that allow chloride ions to enter the neuron, leading to inhibition, and GABA(B) receptors, which are G-protein-coupled receptors that influence neuronal activity through secondary messenger systems.

community Finasteride does deplete important nuero-active steroids

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 2 years ago

Finasteride can reduce neuroactive steroids, causing side effects like depression, anxiety, and sexual dysfunction. Some users experience persistent symptoms after stopping finasteride, while others use alternative treatments like topical solutions.

community Any treatment not nuking systemic DHT levels?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 16 upvotes 5 months ago

Hair loss treatments that avoid significantly lowering systemic DHT levels, focusing on topical options like dutasteride mesotherapy, minoxidil, and ketoconazole. The user is exploring alternatives like KX-826 and RU58841 due to concerns about hormone levels.

community What to do if fin is still not working after 2.5 years

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 22 upvotes 1 year ago

The user is experiencing increased hair loss despite using finasteride and oral minoxidil and is hesitant to switch to dutasteride due to side effects and family planning concerns. Alternatives suggested include dutasteride, microneedling, and addressing stress or nutrient deficiencies.

community Why does this industry still revolve around 5-AR inhibitors?

in Research/Science 44 upvotes 5 years ago

Hair loss treatments still rely heavily on minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841, with little innovation. Future treatments like stem cell therapy and RNA technology show promise but are not yet available.

community 6 years on Fin. This shit is goated.

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 140 upvotes 2 months ago

Finasteride is effective for maintaining hair and stopping hair loss, with many users experiencing long-term success and minimal side effects. Some users consider switching to Dutasteride or adding Minoxidil for additional regrowth.
