== Anti-androgens ==
* Anti-androgen is a substance that inhibits the biological effects of androgenic hormones
* 5-alpha reductase + Testosterone = Dihydrotestosterone (DHT)
* DHT attaches to the Androgen Receptor.
* DHT causes increase in hair loss and gradual miniaturization of the follicle, which eventually dies causing hair loss
