Any Other Androgens Contribute to Male Pattern Baldness?
Do any other androgens other than DHT contribute to MPB? And is there a difference between like injecting testosterone like steroids and rises in natural body testosterone from i.e. going to the gym, eating meat, etc.?
Androgens cause balding. For example, women who have polycystic ovary syndrome / PCOS (who produce androgens) get into the male balding process, plus the appearance of facial hair (though not as much as we men). I think that if you look at the biochemical metabolic pathways, you will see many similarities of testosterone and DHT to other androgens. I do not believe that working out or eating meat will cause you to raise you testosterone (long term) to a point that causes you to lose hair.
For a list of androgens see Wikipedia.
