cortisol reacts with dht , men have high dht, woman dont, hence woman arnt effected as much.
that new Astressin-B was also a stress reducing hormone. it worked on the mice. people say " yeh but the mice were given a hormone that made them stressed " .... this would still show that stress is a factor in hair loss. Im sure they test finasteride on mice that have been genetically altered to produce more DHT then normal also [1]
