The role of 5-α-reductase inhibition in supressing progression of male androgenetic alopecia − a postulate for further studies on possible application of saw palmetto extracts

The role of 5-α-reductase inhibition in supressing progression of male androgenetic alopecia − a postulate for further studies on possible application of saw palmetto extracts

The study presents the mechanism of male androgenetic alopecia (MAGA), with a focus on the role of the enzyme 5-α-reductase, which is responsible for converting testosterone, the primary male hormone, into its active form, dihydrotestosterone (DHT). The consequences of the DHT stimulation of androge...
