GlossaryHormone Receptors

specialized proteins that bind hormones to trigger cellular responses

Hormone receptors are specialized proteins located on the surface of or inside cells that bind to specific hormones. When a hormone attaches to its receptor, it triggers a response in the cell, such as altering gene expression or changing cell behavior. This interaction is crucial for regulating various bodily functions, including growth, metabolism, and mood.

community Gt20026 - the actual cure to hairloss?

in Research/Science 4 months ago

GT20026 is discussed as a potential treatment for hair loss that targets androgen receptors without affecting hormone levels, but it may not promote significant regrowth. It is expected to be available by 2028, with other treatments like Breezula and Clascoterone also mentioned.

community Why are there no meaningful baseline blood tests for pyrilutamide (KX-826) like there are for finasteride?

in Basic Questions 107 upvotes 3 weeks ago

Finasteride reduces DHT production, so blood tests can track hormonal changes. Pyrilutamide blocks androgen receptors without altering hormone levels, making blood tests less useful for detecting its effects.

community What makes breezula different than formula 82f?

in Question 9 upvotes 6 years ago

Breezula (clascoterone) and Formula 82F (topical finasteride) are treatments for hair loss that block DHT differently; Breezula competes with DHT at the hormone receptor site without systemic effects, while 82F inhibits the enzyme that converts testosterone to DHT. Breezula may work for those who don't respond to finasteride and vice versa.

community Why some people experience problems on Finasteride/Dutasteride (my theory)

in Research/Science 18 upvotes 7 months ago

Some people have side effects from finasteride and dutasteride due to hormonal predisposition, especially if DHT dominant. Alternatives like RU58841, Pyrilutamide, and Breezula are suggested to target scalp androgen receptors without altering overall hormones.

community Gartanin Degrades dht receptor found in mangosteen fruit. Gonna buy the raw powder mix it with castor oil and filter out the rest. And apply topically.

5 upvotes 8 years ago

The conversation discusses using gartanin from mangosteen mixed with castor oil to degrade the androgen receptor for hair loss treatment. Alternatives like setipiprant, minoxidil, and dermastamping are also mentioned, with concerns about cost and potential side effects.
