GlossarySelective Androgen Receptor Modulators

compounds that selectively target androgen receptors to promote muscle growth

Selective Androgen Receptor Modulators (SARMs) are a class of compounds that bind to androgen receptors in the body, similar to anabolic steroids, but with more targeted effects. They are designed to selectively stimulate muscle and bone growth without significantly affecting other tissues, potentially offering therapeutic benefits for conditions like muscle wasting and osteoporosis with fewer side effects compared to traditional steroids.

community Alternatives/unorthodox hairloss protocols to the big three

in Chat 1 upvotes 6 months ago

The conversation discusses alternative and unorthodox hair loss treatments, including RU58841, nandrolone, and dianabol, as well as theoretical approaches involving high doses of estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulators. These methods are considered extreme and potentially harmful but are explored for those unable to tolerate traditional 5-alpha reductase inhibitors.

community Treatment of Finasteride Induced Gynecomastia (Male breast tissue growth)

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 16 upvotes 5 years ago

Finasteride can cause gynecomastia, which may be reversible by stopping the drug and using selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs) like tamoxifen. Lifestyle changes such as weight loss and avoiding alcohol can also help, but surgery may be needed if the condition persists.

community Could a reversed SARM designed for the scalp serve as a replacement for oral Dut and Fin?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 2 upvotes 1 year ago

The conversation discusses the potential of developing a selective oral SARM to target androgen activity in the scalp and skin, as an alternative to oral Dutasteride and Finasteride, which have systemic side effects. It also mentions Clascoterone and RU58841 as topical treatments for hair loss.

community My Theory Regarding a Cause and Cure for Androgenetic Alopecia

in Treatment 94 upvotes 6 years ago

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 Study: There is 70x Higher Unconjugated DHT in Feces Compared To Blood Levels in Young Adults - Gut Microbiota Manages DHT Recycling and Metabolism

in Research/Science 194 upvotes 1 year ago

Gut microbiota significantly influences androgen metabolism, impacting hair loss treatments like finasteride. Probiotics, dietary changes, and fecal microbiota transplants may help manage DHT levels and improve hair health.
