Male pattern hair loss, or androgenetic alopecia, is an androgen-dependent disorder. In genetically susceptible men, dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a potent metabolite of the male androgen testosterone, contributes to male pattern hair loss. The conversion of testosterone to DHT is regulated by the enzyme 5-alpha reductase. Finasteride inhibits this enzyme. By reducing DHT levels in the scalp, the drug decreases DHT's harmful effects on the hair follicles, reversing the process of hair loss. Finasteride decreases DHT concentrations in the serum and the scalp by up to 70 and 60%, respectively. Finasteride does not affect hair on other parts of the body. |
