"3 things can cause hair loss:
Testosterone
DHT
Cytokines
"The actions of androgens such as testosterone and dihydrotestosterone are mediated via the androgen receptor (AR), a ligand-dependent nuclear transcription factor and member of the steroid hormone nuclear receptor family."
"The main function of the androgen receptor is as a DNA-binding transcription factor that regulates gene expression" i.e. baldness, acne, hirsutism, any androgen dependent gene...
Cytokines also bind to JAK3 metabolites and enter the nucleus to transcribe genes dependent on the AR
finasteride/dutasteride: only blocks DHT
spironolactone/cpa: blocks T (and DHT a little via T suppression)
flutamide/bicalutamide: competitively inhibits KLK3 activation and AR signaling as a whole so T, DHT, and Cytokines are rendered useless
I started balding at 14 and I did research and I was able to get on bicalutamide and stop my hair loss
I did NOT respond to finasteride/dutasteride/spironolactone/cpa/estrogen, but I responded to bicalutamide
hope this helped"
People saying that DHTcel is a mental illness and a BDD kid are just whining about their baldness. Lol!
