[QUOTE="Appassionato, post: 147374, member: 37892"] I would like to use this thread to post some interesting researches and studies that completely debunked the DHT myth about hair loss. This would be the first well documented video to start from: [MEDIA=youtube]5Greaw5MK9k[/MEDIA] Bullet points: - Hypothyroidism is one of the main culprit, signaling the testis to produce less testosterone, the pituitary gland to produce more prolactin and the adrenals to produce more DHEA-S and cortisol. - Several studies found out that men affected by AGA has higher prolactin. - Some studies found out that DHEA-S was higher in rapidly balding men. - Several studies has shown that the level of DHT in balding and non balding men are similar, and that hair loss is unrelated to serum DHT. - And, believe it or not, a topical solution of testosterone on the scalp, regrew 10-15% of the hairs in 75% of participants in one study. How did the myth build up then? They usually come up with the "genetics" card, claiming that some people has more androgen receptors in the scalp. This doesn't explain why vast majority of teens and young men with high T and DHT don't experience AGA in their young age, but only later. [/QUOTE]
