community Did anybody use beta sisterol for hair loss? I saw in many articles in the internet that said that beta sisterol blocks dht by inhibiting 5a reductase type 2 enzyme and some reviews of people who said that it worked better than saw palmetto in terms of stoping hair loss and helping prostate.

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 years ago

Beta-sitosterol may inhibit 5-alpha reductase type 2 enzyme, potentially reducing DHT levels and promoting hair growth, similar to finasteride but possibly with fewer side effects. Its effectiveness and side effects compared to other treatments like saw palmetto and finasteride remain uncertain due to limited research.

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 DHT and 5AR respect post, it's importance within the brain

in Research/Science 111 upvotes 2 years ago

The conversation discusses whether to use finasteride for hair loss, considering its role in inhibiting DHT and 5AR, which can affect brain function and mood. Some users report anxiety and depression from finasteride, while others do not experience these side effects and emphasize the importance of DHT for brain and prostate health.

community How come dutasteride doesn't lower allopregnanolone, but finasteride does?

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 12 upvotes 1 year ago

Finasteride significantly lowers allopregnanolone levels, while dutasteride's effect is less clear and may vary. Some users speculate that dutasteride might be healthier for the brain due to its different inhibition pathways.

community Trying to understand finasteride side effects and post finasteride syndrome

in Finasteride/Dutasteride 71 upvotes 5 years ago

The conversation discusses the side effects of finasteride, including low libido and erectile dysfunction, and the possibility of these effects being permanent, known as post-finasteride syndrome (PFS). Some users report personal experiences with PFS and debate whether the condition is real, with varying opinions on the reversibility of side effects and the role of individual biology.
