Testosterone causes hair loss? Wouldn't a slight amount more, nothing excessive, cause more hair to grow?


Answers:

Testosterone Does Not Cause Hair Loss!!! DHT is thought to be the culprit in causing hair loss but it's still not an absolute and doesn't work the same in all men. DHT is converted from testoserone in the target cells of the body, (target cells meaning those cells that have androgen receptors and utililize testosterone) but not all cells are programed to convert Test. to DHT and not all cells convert as much DHT. The prostate gland in a man converts the most DHT and yes the scalp converts some. But this conversion doesn't extrapolate in the same ratio as you increase your level of Test. and different men have more a different ratio of conversion of Test. to DHT than others. Your body is set up to be status quo or "homeostasis". When your Test levels drop your body sends a signal to the brain to produce more LH hormone and the LH hormone tells your testicals to produce more Test. Ejaculation will send these signals and so will heavy weight training. Give that one some thought!
