What is Finasteride?
Finasteride 1mg is a low-dose formulation of the competitive 5α-reductase Type II inhibitor — the clinically established dose for androgenetic alopecia research models. At 1mg, scalp and serum DHT are reduced ~60–70%, with minimal impact on total testosterone.
Enables hair follicle DHT research, dermal papilla AR sensitivity studies, and dose-comparative 5α-reductase inhibition protocols. Research use only.
Research Applications
Hair Follicle DHT Research Scalp DHT reduction, dermal papilla AR sensitivity, follicle miniaturisation models Androgenetic Alopecia Hair cycle modulation, telogen:anagen ratio, miniaturisation reversal studies Low-Dose 5α-Reductase Inhibition 1mg vs 5mg dose comparison — scalp vs systemic DHT reduction profiles Dermal Papilla Biology DHT-mediated papilla cell apoptosis, AR expression, growth factor signalling HPG Axis at Low Dose Minimal T→DHT impact on feedback — LH/FSH response at 1mg finasteride
