So, guys, Derek, moreplacemoredates.com. Today we're going to be talking about is monoxidyl also a mild antigen?

So I posted a lot of videos about how monoxidil monotherapy is a bad idea because you're not going to prevent androgen induced miniaturization of hair follicles and how eventually you're going to hit a point.

Even if you have, you know, visual gains, you're not actually doing a point even if you have you know visual gains you're not

actually do anything to offset further loss caused by miniaturization so despite getting a growth agonist

effect that's offsetting the visual loss just by adding like artificial density essentially

you're still going to progress your male pattern baldness. You just have an extra

amount of, you know, artificially stimulated growth that you wouldn't have otherwise, but

everything is still miniaturizing at the same rate because there's no protection from any of the

testosterone, the dh-ht, androgens in general. But there's been some interesting data that's come out

that sort of put

up monoxidol as a potential antigen in itself, which would then lend to the idea that maybe

in a monotherapy context, it's actually not the worst thing ever. However, this is what I want to get into

it first before I get my stance. So this is the main study that I always

get sent to me and people ask me, oh, like why, what do you think about this? It shows that it's

an antianrogen. So monoxidyl acts as an antigen, a study of five alpha reductase type 2 gene

expression in a human carotinocyte cell line. So basically it goes through the history of monoxidil and how it was, you know,

the conception of it, its mechanisms of action is still not being comprehensively understood.

Blah, blah, blah, blah. It talks about what five alpha reductates does.

There's insufficient literature data regarding the interaction of monocidal and the enzyme five alpha

reductase. We studied the in vitro expression levels of five alpha reductase type two in the

monocidal treated human keratinocytes cell line in order to elucidate my figure or the

relation of these two parameters cell proliferation assay assay, blah, blah, blah.
