LHRH agonists - dangerous but STOPS HAIR LOSS IN ALL

[stnl]

Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone and Gonadotropin-releasing hormone are essentially the same chemicals which are released by the hypothalamus when it detects lowering levels of testosterone.

An agonist is a chemical that mimics a naturally-occurring substance in the body and produces the same physiological effect. The agonist will occupy the cell receptors of the chemical it is mimicking

The pituitary gland stops telling the testicles to make testosterone. The level of hormone then drops by 90 to 95 percent, which is castration level

Goserelin can be injected daily, once per month, once per 3 months, once per 4 months, and once per 12 months. Leuprolide comes with patient instructions, so the administration of the hormone therapy can be done at home

1) This will stop hair loss in men with hair loss genes

2) If u want to have babies, stop using it for a few months and things will return to normal.

3) side effects -
* hot flashes (these may go away with time)
* breast tenderness and growth of breast tissue
* osteoporosis (weakening of bones) which can lead to broken bones
* anemia (low red blood cell counts)
* decreased mental acuity (sharpness)
* loss of muscle mass
* weight gain
* fatigue
* decrease in HDL ("good") cholesterol
* depression

Cool side effects, man this sounds like a keeper.

ok this treatment is a bit extreme , only good to the oldies

but look at the one that youngbaldy posted - ORAL KETOCONAZOLE -

1) REDUCES TESTOSTRONE PRODUCTION

2) HAS SHORT HALF LIFE

3) INHIBITS DHT BINDING TO PROTEIN RECEPTORS

if eunechs are castrated and still cant regrow hair lost when they were given testosterone, neither willyou.

You're talking about leuprolide and goserelin. They are both used for chemical castration and using them for hair loss would be the worst idea that anyone could possibly have for long term hair loss treatment.

full regrowth of lost hair is one in a billion.
