Propecia is a drug composed of a main active ingredient called finasterida.
The finasterida has already been used several years ago but for a different
type of illness called Adenoma Prostate, and who reads will ask, does
that have to do prostate falling hair? Because if it has to do and rather
longer both the prostate adenoma as Alopecia andro-genética depend
on their development of the action of an androgen (c'mon, a hormone!)
thus alopecia andro-genética occurs in the following manner:
- Testosterone (male hormone), which is generated by the testes and glands
supra-renales, is rapidly converted into another hormone called dihidrotestosterona
much more powerful (DHT) so that this process occurs is required the
presence of an enzyme (or molecule that catalyzes accelerates a reaction)
called 5alfa-reductasa within which there are two isoenzymes (c'mon,
that there are two types within the same enzyme), 5ar tipo1 and 5ar type2.
- Once transformed testosterone into DHT (this transformation is located
at the level of the prostate, liver and skin, after joining the cell
nuclei of these tissues. Come on, that hormone dihidrotestosterona reach
the bodies, prostate skin. .....
The hair follicle (ie hair! !) Response of an abnormal form and whose
metabolic process is unknown, but gradually, among other factors due
to the stimulation of sebaceous gland that lies at the root of the hair,
stunting is the follicle, sebaceous gland ever is greater contribution
subtracting blood to the rest of the structure of hair, this is becoming
ever thinner until it finally falls.
- What happens is that one of the factors for developing REQUIREMENTS
alopecia is to have high levels of dihidrotestosterona produced by an
abnormal activity of the enzyme 5alfa-reductasa, if we can inhibit the
action of this enzyme (5ar), occurs naturally lower amount of DHT and
there will be no subsequent destructive action of the hormone level of
the scalp.
- What makes Propecia is inhibit 5ar stopping the process degenerating
capillary and favoring the basis for the future growth of a hair more
healthy and strong.
- It should be noted that Propecia SOLO serving on the 5ar type 2, type
1 is not sensitive to the drug with what still getting an inhibition
of 100% with respect to the type 2 (something highly unlikely, since
there was an inhibition between 60-70%) will continue to generate DHT
by the isoenzyme 5ar tipo1. It is important to stress this fact because
the laboratories Glaxo waiting for the year 2002 bring to a dual inhibitor
sale of 5alfa-reductase type 1and 2.
Finish this paragraph saying that the relationship between prostate adenoma
and alopecia is that the genesis of both is needed the presence of abnormal
amounts of DHT if it can diminish its value degenerative process in both
cases were reversed. (Indeed, the implementation of the finasterida hair
came in to note that patients with prostate adenoma showed an increase
in hair as a side effect of drugs (drug) they were taking.
