My mistake. Type III is not involved in hair loss though, so it doesn't really matter except for potential side effects of which I doubt there are any. I don't think 5-AR3 is important for anything.
You don't think 5-AR3 is important for anything? Lmao, and this opinion or statement is based on what, just out of curiosity, did you at least google it or you think of yourself that you are so smart or some kind of doctor that actually is talking based of some sort of experience or something? Damn, it's mind blowing when you read your comments and i wonder what the other lurkers that just read these forums say, unbelievable lol, i really wonder if somebody is actually that stupid and looking into your mouths or believing your words just like that, without actually verifying their integrity or accuracy..
5α-Reductase 3[edit]
When small interfering RNA is used to knock down the expression of 5α-R3 isozyme in cell lines, there is decreased cell growth, viability, and a decrease in DHT/T ratios.[25] It has also shown the ability to reduce testosterone, androstenedione, and progesterone in androgen stimulated prostate cell lines by adenovirus vectors.[8]
Congenital deficiency of 5α-R3 at the gene SRD53A has been linked to a rare, autosomal recessive condition in which patients are born with severe intellectual dysfunction and cerebellar and ocular defects. The presumed deficiency is reduction of the terminal bond of polyprenol to dolichol, an important step in N-glycosylation of proteins, which in turn is important for proper folding of asparagine residues on nascent protein in the endoplasmic reticulum.[26]

But wikipedia is biased, it's financed by lawyers and propecia help people, pegasus the doctor from the hair loss forum knows best and really wanted to share with us his deep and well studied knowledge about everything lmao..
I would get a test if i were you, maybe you have some kind of congenital deficiency of 5a-R3, who knows...
