community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones

in Research/Science 4 upvotes 9 months ago

Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

in Research/Science 20 upvotes 8 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community The end of balding: We may have just found the secret to hair regrowth

in Technology 680 upvotes 1 year ago

MCL-1 is important for hair follicle stem cell survival, but its impact on human hair regrowth is unclear. Minoxidil and finasteride are the main treatments, with doubts about new discoveries leading to effective human solutions soon.

community What do you think about this? he says one of the causes of pattern hair loss is scars and it can be fixed

in Research/Science 2 months ago

The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on insulin resistance, microneedling with topical melatonin, and stress reduction. Users express skepticism about the advice, preferring proven treatments like minoxidil and finasteride, while some mention alternative methods like dermal incisions and verteporfin for reducing fibrosis.

community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.

14 upvotes 8 years ago

Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
