[QUOTE="Appassionato, post: 169382, member: 37892"] I know that and it's obvious to everyone here in this forum. My question was different. How do you know that a higher free T means a higher DHT [B]in the scalp[/B]? This would be the normal logical thinking, but, as we know, the actual concentration of androgens in tissues is sometimes unrelated to the serum levels. Young men with higher DHT levels were paradoxically the ones with a higher capital hairs density according to a study. While we know that balding scalps have higher DHT levels, disregarding the serum levels. As you see, these studies are actually disproving the connection between the two. Some say it's due to the genetic predisposition of DHT follicles sensibility, disregarding what the serum levels are, and some (like Rob) says it's due to the inflammation that the DHT reaches higher concentration in the scalp. I don't know the answer to that, I wish I did, but both theories are basically saying that the serum DHT levels are marginal for their contribution. [/QUOTE]
