5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Inflammation dynamically regulates steroid hormone metabolism and action within macrophages in rheumatoid arthritis
This study investigates the role of steroid metabolism in macrophages within rheumatoid arthritis (RA), revealing that inflammatory macrophages significantly increase the activation of glucocorticoids and androgens, which suppress inflammation. RNA-seq data from RA synovial macrophages showed changes in genes related to steroid metabolism, correlating with disease activity and pain. Key enzymes like 11β-HSD1, SRD5A1, and AKR1C3 were identified as crucial in this process, with 11β-HSD1 playing a novel role in androgen activation. The study highlights that increased glucocorticoid and androgen levels in macrophages and fibroblast-like synoviocytes help reduce inflammation. Additionally, the reduced presence of inactive steroid precursors in postmenopausal women may lead to higher disease incidence and severity.
research Adrenal steroid precursors exert potent androgenic action in the hamster sebaceous glands of flank organs and ears.
Certain adrenal hormones can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in hamster skin, similar to male hormones.

community Very agressive protection / regrowth stack on steroids
A 24-year-old with hair thinning is using a regimen including dutasteride, RU58841, HGH, GHK-cu, and other compounds to protect and regrow hair. They are also incorporating a mild cutting cycle with testosterone propionate, anavar, and tirzepatide.
community Has anyone find a way to stop/limit ru58841 to go systematic ?
RU58841 is a strong non-steroidal antiandrogen for hair loss but may cause cardiovascular issues in some users. Alternatives like Pyrilutamide and Breezula are suggested due to better safety profiles and lower systemic risks.
community Has anyone tried Exosomes from Musely or somewhere else?
Exosomes from Musely are being discussed as a topical hair loss treatment containing ingredients like latanoprost, caffeine, cetirizine, melatonin, vitamin D3, vitamin E, and biotin. Users are curious about its effectiveness and potential side effects, noting it may take 4-6 months to see results.
community My Testosterone results before and after Finasteride
Finasteride significantly increased testosterone levels for the user, with no major side effects except watery semen, which was resolved with zinc supplements. The user's hairline stopped receding and slightly improved.
