lukman Posted September 6, 2010 Share Posted September 6, 2010 (edited) As a biologist in the field, I've been doing some research on how DHT (dihydrotestosterone) actually impacts the hair follicle. I created an easy to read diagram depicting the potent hormone's effects on men. I've drawn it on this website so that there isn't anymore confusion on why you're losing your precious hair! I found: Decreased blood flow to follicle, causing follicle to progressively shrinks. Decreased keratin (hair protein) production Cell division is disrupted; hair stem anchors itself less firmly to follicle Oil/Sebum invades less differentiated (disrupted epithelial cells) with toxins Diagram URL: (promotional link removed - see comment below) I am not promoting anything; I do diagrams such as these for a living and I thought it could help members out! I don't like publishing them openly in domains other than mine as they are Copyright images. Edited September 7, 2010 by lukman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member j1j9j85 Posted September 7, 2010 Senior Member Share Posted September 7, 2010 thats great and value able to us...... so by taking vits and mins and oils to support growth this could help improve quality of keratin...... minoxidil improves blood flow to scalp thus hair growth propecia decrease dht which inturn reduces the above points also nizoral disrupts dht conversion in scalp and reduces it and then also keeps the scalp healthy? msm improves alround health and growth rates is there anything you would suggest or advise to counter act the dht effects? that i havent mentioned? also say if some one with 10times the amount of test in the system due to steroids but normal levels of dht due to dutas and finest.... would hair loss be exagerated or increased or normal.... i only ask on behalf of many body builder friends who this write up and study will also be very helpfull too cheers for the time and effort to post;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lukman Posted September 7, 2010 Author Share Posted September 7, 2010 Hey, I use ChemDraw. It cost me close to $1200 to purchase! You missed Adovart - blocks against both isoforms of 5-alpha reductase. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill - Seemiller Posted September 8, 2010 Share Posted September 8, 2010 Lukman, The link you presented contains promotional content and links to snake oil lotion and potions claiming to treat hair loss. If you'd like to share the diagram with us, please feel free to take a screenshot, save it as an image and then attach it to this topic. That way, the promotion is eliminated. Thanks for understanding, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill - Seemiller Posted September 9, 2010 Share Posted September 9, 2010 Lukman, It's interesting that for someone interested only in educating this community that you would refuse to attach the diagram rather than link to a website linking to snake oiil lotions and potions.
