Well, Dutasteride it is supposed to attack the Backdoor pathway of dht via the 5AR1 enzyme, but for others will be enough and probably for others not. DHT being high to those who take it’s pretty crazy. There are genetic variations, etc. Nothing is fully understood yet/completely. No to mention the scalp DHT/androgens. There is even a study where Dutasteride+3a oxidoreductase inhibitors inhibited DHT more completely than Dutasteride alone in advance prostate cancer which makes sense because the Backdoor pathway is inhibited more “completely”. From the Backdoor chart, someone can conclude that the following could inhibit it in a more “complete” way:You guys don't understand one thing. Only DHT matters in androgenic alopecia. You can even remove your testicles, but if your body still produces sufficent amount of DHT (via backdoor pathway) then you are still going to be bald. DHT is a hormone that is not only produced by 5 alpha reductase... That’s why a lot of people who take finasteride/dutasteride are still going bald and often they have a DHT levels in normal male range...
You can have a testosterone levels 0 but your DHT can still be high in some cases and you can do nothing about that.
Dutasteride
Ketoconazole
Abiraterone
Aldo-Ketoreductases
etc
The following studies are pretty good. Worth a look.
Potential impact of combined inhibition of 3α-oxidoreductases and 5α-reductases on prostate cancer - PMC
Prostate cancer (PCa) growth and progression rely on the interaction between the androgen receptor (AR) and the testicular ligands, testosterone and dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Almost all men with advanced PCa receive androgen deprivation therapy ...
Genetic variations associated with response to dutasteride in the treatment of male subjects with androgenetic alopecia - PMC
Dutasteride, a dual inhibitor of both type I and II 5α-reductases, is used to treat male pattern hair loss (MPHL). However, patient response to dutasteride varies in each individual, the cause of which is yet to be identified. To identify genetic ...
