<<<You made a point, that if men without the 5 ar type II enzyme never go bald then how will duta be any better then propecia? I think duta will be a lot better because it inhibits the type II enzyme more completely then finasteride, and thus reduces the amount of DHT in the scalp more then finasteride, not just serum DHT.>>>

So why not just take 10-15 mgm/day of Proscar/Fincar/Finasteride??? My point was in response to someone using the information that men without the Type 2 enzyme don't go bald. Whoever that was from the last forum can't have it both ways.

<<I think that DHT is the main culprit, DHT is the most potent androgen, far more potent then any other androgen, I think it is something like 4 times as potent as Test.>>

Agreed. It is the main culprit. But like all other androgen driven conditions, its not alone.

<<<Overall, I am saying now, that I think Dut will return most N2's who have been suffering from hairloss for less then 3 or 4 years back to a N1. These guys are the only guys that stand any chance of getting "all their hair back". Everyone else will likely see a hault in loss, and some thickening. The amount of thickening will depend on how long this person has been suffering and what N class they are at.>>>

It's hard to say. That may be true. However we have no hard data to prove that, only speculation from Calibus.

<<<I think Calibus was trying to state what I am stating, but he just wasn't clear. I may be wrong, but it seems his theory is similiar to mine.>>

No he doesn't believe androgens, other than DHT, play a role. Which is garbage. He also hasn't a clue about fibrosis.
