Corticosteroids suppress the immune system. Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the hair, and corticosteroids are used to stop this action. Male pattern baldness is caused by DHT, not the immune system, so corticosteroids wouldn't be effective at all for that.
That's the theory behind testing Astressin-B injections for MPB since it acts on cortisol. And AFAIK it's not fully understood how DHT binding to a receptor actually damages hair follicles. There has to be an intermediate step (or more than one) in there somewhere. An immune system response is one prime suspect.Comment

There's actually a line of thought that MPB is also caused by the immune system, just with DHT being the cause of the immune system beginning to attack its own follicles.

Androgens are involved but NOT involved in minituarisation and follicular damage!
Not only can baldness be stopped but it can also be reversed dependant on how badly damaged your follicles are!Comment

people should have already realised mpb is an immune condition after the release of the study from dr cots...DHT causing minituarisation is one of the biggest myths of all time!

i suggest you read a thread started by a poster named misterE on pathogenesis of MPB on HLH, it should help you understand certain similarities between baldness and other diseases and what they have in common...his theory is good but not perfect.
also understand castrates dont go bald, because they still have andorgens in there system!Comment

how come every man from my mother's side started going bald at almost the exact same age as me?? You're saying they all had some underlying problems? Bullshit. Everyone got to live 80+ with NO health problemsComment
-
Genetics also plays a role...but not in the way the majority of people think it does.Comment
-
you didn't answer my question.... why did everyone go bald in my family even though otherwise they were pretty healthy people? Not enough vegetables and exercise? Not possible. Junk food was non-existent where they lived...Comment
-
They went bald due to excess androgens in a certain region of the scalp that are genetically predisposed to hypersensitivity, which can be influenced/aggrevated by the foods you eat.Comment

What is MisterE suggesting? Diet + Exercise? All it takes to disprove such theory is ONE counterexample... you wanna go there?Comment

Yes, the gene that makes you follicles sensitive to DHT runs in that family so that's why they go bald but I can assure you that diet has LITTLE to do with it.... are you seriously suggesting that if someone went on a PERFECT diet, MPB process would stop completely?

theres a topic on HS, which was bought up to discuss the problematic counterpart.
going on a perfect diet ONCE mpb starts will not stop it alone, if the perfect diet was practiced before mpb started it would have helped drastically. (BUT still a perfect diet after mob hits, can still help)
misterE joined some of the dots together, one of the possible culprits was identified in that post! if you can control this culprit you can stop mpb! and with a bit of help from certain drugs reverse baldness, (again depending on how damaged your follicles are)Comment

^ all this does not mean shit.
Castrates NEVER EVER GO BALD. A castrate can eat the worst diet in the world, gain 300 pounds, use hardcore drugs and his hair will not be affected in any way. Now why is that? It's called ANDROGENIC alopecia for a reason.
You should just join immortal hairs forum.... everyone there is ditching glutten, using lasers, all kinds of massages and what not and they still go bald just like everyone else.
All of your theories are shitComment
