[QUOTE="madman, post: 191348, member: 13851"] Forget using the 5-alpha reductase inhibitor your DHT is far from high and even then although DHT can stimulate the sebaceous (oil glands) to increase in size and produce excess sebum which can lead to acne (mild/moderate/severe) in the genetically prone there is more to the story. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][U]Androgens and activation of the AR[/U][/COLOR]. Comes down to genetics, [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][U]the sensitivity of the AR to androgens[/U][/COLOR], and the sensitivity of the skin/hair follicles to DHT. Excess e2 can contribute to inflammation in some. Your FT is too high plain and simple!

[B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]Acne, for example, is often triggered by dihydrotestosterone activity in the sebaceous glands, and the local formation of dihydrotestosterone in the scalp is typically blamed for triggering male pattern hair loss.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]You should know that it is a terrible misconception among bodybuilders that dihydrotestosterone is an isolated culprit when it comes to these side effects.[/COLOR][/B][COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] [B][U]All anabolic/androgenic steroids exert their activities, both anabolic and androgenic, through the same cellular androgen receptor[/U]"[/B][/COLOR] [B][COLOR=rgb(44, 130, 201)]"Dihydrotestosterone is no different than any other steroid except that it is a more potent activator of this receptor than most, and can be formed locally in certain androgen-sensitive tissues.[/COLOR] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)][U]All steroids can cause androgenic side effects in direct relation to their affinity for this receptor, and DHT has no known unique ability in this regard[/U][/COLOR]"[/B] [/I] The main point to keep in mind regarding acne or hair loss (genetically prone individuals).....is that DHT is not the sole contributor and it is the general activation of the AR that is responsible.
