I am a little confused as to the rational of using finesteride with trt to minimize hair loss or other side effects. If the active metabolite of
testosterone is DHT and finesteride blocks the 5-alphareductase enzyme limiting the conversion to DHT, what is the benefit to a higher serum level of
testosterone?? In my ignorance, it just seems like blocking the conversion would have positive effects on hair growth, but limit the effect on muscle growth and libido. Also, is there any difference with
deca or
anavar?? is their active metabolite also DHT??
