Cigarette smoke may cause oxidative and inflammatory damage in the hair follicles, impair hair growth, and reduce female sex hormone levels. A study found that the combination of smoking with being overweight increased male-pattern baldness severity [5, 6, 7, 8, 9]. Maintaining a Healthy ...
While we’re talking about brain signs, let’s talk about this red flag: “You don’t look so much at sex. It could be because low testosterone, commonly called low T, could be the cause. Because testosterone promotes endurance and calcium throughout the erection process, too little testos...
If DHT is the cause of hair loss, then drugs aimed at blocking 5-alpha-reductase, the enzyme which catalyzes the conversion of testosterone to DHT, is a logical treatment. Unfortunately, like most mainstream theories of disease, although highly profitable, this one is not based on science or ...
women experience hair loss for many reasons, but the most common isfemale pattern hair loss. Also known as androgenetic alopecia, this condition is prevalent for both men and women. In men, the condition is referred to as male pattern baldness. Male pattern hair loss can often lead to comple...
Balding in males is due to higher levels of androgens. In particular, high dihydrotestosterone (sometimes shortened to DHT), which is produced in the body from testosterone, has a role inmale pattern baldness. Some women experience female pattern hair loss. This is caused by a combination of ...
increased histone acetylation and methylation, result in undesirable biological effects [62]. Some papers [63] indicate that the likely mechanism of transgenerational action of finasteride can be connected with CpG methylation in the 5α-reductase type 2 gene and consequently change its protein expressi...
1. Introduction Without a doubt, the morphology and function of the male gonad are controlled by the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonad axis and locally produced androgens—testosterone (T) and more biologically active dihydrotestosterone (DHT) [1]. Transformation of T into DHT is catalyzed by 5a-...
