Why is this relevant ?
high omega 6 diet and insulin resistance -- pgd2 production
pgd2 -- increases conversion of weak androgens to testosterone and produces reactive oxygen species
as confirmed by high levels of pgd2 and reactive oxygen species in bald scalps
high Ros -- Induction of transforming growth factor-beta 1 by androgen is mediated by reactive oxygen species in hair follicle dermal papilla cells
high tgf 1 beta -- increased chance of fibrosis in the scalp
pgd2 -- also shown to induce calcification
fibrosis and calcification -- reduced oxygen and blood flow to the scalp
this is how DHT is linked to scalp tension
