Anti-androgens appear to have a stronger hair growing effect than does estrogen alone... :dunno: http://www.transgendercare.com/medical/ ... gimens.asp

Statistical existence of leprechauns is not as strong as the estrogen with high DHTsensitivity/ low testosterone link to male pattern baldness. :woot: I recall that you posted photos of highly muscular ripped people with 5 alpha reductase deficiency alongside of their very less muscular relatives - that did...

An estrogen related? hormone, prolactin, could be a causal factor in the pathology of male pattern baldness and prostate enlargement. :sobbing: http://www.webmd.com/a-to-z-guides/prolactin-15129 http://biblioteca.universia.net/ficha.do?id=23667192 People with high DHT sensitivity have much body hair...

The hypothesis is that estrogen and DHT together somehow increase sensititivty of cells to DHT, also causing more body hair, more balding, and paradoxically flabby man-breasts, higher body fat and reduced musculature.

Very interesting, yes, the most important thing appears to be to find a way to improve insulin sensitivity since insulin is a master hormone and insulin resistance can throw the other hormones out of whack. http://www.healthmad.com/Nutrition/Hair-Loss-and-Insulin-Resistance.32349

Eating alot of refined carbohydrates contributes more to inflammation than high fat intake. http://www.westonaprice.org/knowyourfats/skinny.html#evidence

Brain growth and baldness, is there a connection? :bravo: http://www.hairlosstalk.com/interact/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=51153

I recall reading studies posted by Bryan about balding human hair follicles re-enlarging? after being transplanted to the backs of immunodeficient mice? If that is true then human balding follicles could be more constricted by the scalpal terrain than by any internal genetic mechanism within...

I don't appreciate your attempts at trying to force me into a corner there buddy :thumbdown2: There appears to be evidence that skull morphology does change with age. How does that relate to Foote's theory of male pattern baldness? Like I said, that is still an unsolved variable at this time :dunno:

I see your point. When it comes down to the bare bones nitty gritty aspects of survival, hair no longer is that important to other people. Still, baldness does not make someone look more healthy. So there does not appear to be a survival advantage to male pattern baldness. Baldness could be...
