OMG YOU TOOL. WHY DO THEY HAVE A HIGHER 5AR ACTIVITY ONLY ONTOP OF YOUR HEAD??? IM NOT ARGUING THAT DHT DOESNT FACILITATE THE BALDNESS, IM SAYING ITS NOT THE CAUSE. To believe that, you would have to believe that your DHT levels rise as you get older, when its the exact opposite. THEY FALL. The fact that moving follicles from the back to the top and it still growing properly proves that its not a blood flow issue, or an issue with your endocrine system. Its so ****ing simple.
My MPB hypothesis.

I think whatever causes baldness could have several triggers. I think generally it's genetic things that will trigger the "causes" of baldness, but I also think things like diet, masturbation, sun, whatever whatever could also trigger or inflame whatever the cause of baldness is... I.e. The level pgd2 could be a function of mostly genetics, but also sun, mastrubation, twinkies, whatever... In the end if genetics wants your hair to all of your hair will fall off, but other things could play a part.Comment

endocrine system - could be. Observe how balding people have so much body hair. Obviously in those people DHT metabolism is too high. The problem is not just with your follicles.
why wouldn't hair transplants work? It's the follicles that are being "damaged" and not a particular part of your scalp...Comment

Dr. Samuel Lam of the Lam Institute of Hair Restoration in Dallas treats a variety of hair disorders including male pattern baldness
Both isoenzymes are increased in the frontal balding follicles compared with the non-balding follicles in the back of the head. DHT levels are also increased in the balding scalp compared with the non-balding scalp. Further women have 3 to 3.5 times less 5-alpha reductase Type I and II than men, which probably accounts for why female AGA is less severe in most cases than with male AGA. Interestingly, individuals born without 5-alph reductase Type II do not develop AGA.Comment

Obviously I know DHT levels are increased in balding scalp. The first study I posted proved that. You're just going in ****ing circles. Nothing you have said proves any reason why the top follicles act differently than the side. "They just do" is not an answer. Like we are just born that way.Comment

they don't!!! all follicles are susceptible to DHT it's just some are more sensitive and some are much less.Comment

I have been doing alot of reading lately about MPB since I read the study that implicated PGD-2 as the cause of it. One thing that stood out to me in that study was that there was an enlargement of sebaceous glands in balding areas. All of this reading got me wondering why in all of the cures and studies, no one has addressedComment

You are so slow. This study was not done in infants or children, or teenagers. Its very unlikely children's front hair follicles are more sensitive. The question is WHYYYYYYYY do they become more sensitive. WHY WHY WHY. WHY WHY WHY. Oh and again, WHYYYYYYY DO THEY BECOME MORE SENSITIVE. YOU ARE SO ****ING ANNOYING AND NOT EVEN READING.Comment

there are no such studies. Best I can do is this:
Findings revealed that both women and men have higher levels of receptors and 5-reductase type I and II in frontal hair follices than in occipital follicles, whereas higher levels of aromatase were found in their occipital follicles.Comment
