What do you mean by being "PREDISPOSED TO MPB"

[British Bulldog]

What is the mechanism of hair loss in people who are predisposed to MPB.

MPB-An abundance of androgen receptors in the scalp. Is your mother's father bald, is your father bald?

DHT may help in this case right. Also I notice I have many new hair growing but they fall before they grwo beyond a few millis. DO you think test may actually increase the no of androgen recptors, hence explaining hair loss months after cycle ends (~12 months after).

Always been told that male pattern baldness is a genetic trait giving through the mother's side of the family. In other words, is your mom's dad, brother, any male, or even your mother bald? If so you "could have a genetic predisposition.
Me all the guys on my mom's side of the family are chrome domes. Been a worry of mine for years. Well, I am 30 yrs. old, got a thick head of hair, barber still uses thinning scissors on it. So I no longer worry. Plus they got them cool topeas that you snap on your head nowadays. Surgical implant the other side of the snapper.

Male pattern baldness is genetic and can result from either side of your family. The reason you sometimes seem to loose more hair post cycle is that hair growth comes...in cycles. It takes time for the entire scalp to be affected. DHT is the culprit here. DHT attaches itself to androgen receptors in the scalp and the hair follicles begin to atrophy (shrink, get smaller). Over time they get very thin, then fall out.

means that by taking any drugs that raise dht levels in your body will make you go bald earlier then you would naturally.
