Androgens are a class of steroid hormones that are responsible for development of male characterizes. They were discovered in the 1936 and are also known as androgenic hormones or testoids. They act through binding on the androgen receptors and produce the masculine features in all vertebrates. Originally known as anabolic steroids, they are also a precursor of other hormones such as estrogen which is responsible for female features.
You may be wondering how different this androgen is from testosterone. They actually do share the same genesis, both being a product of anabolism of cholesterol. Androgens with more hydrogen and therefore known as dihydrotestosterone are more potent because they bind to the androgen receptors compared to the testosterone.
Out of the woods with the difficult biochemistry, lets now see how they relate to androgenic alopecia, or simply losing hair in men that is induced by these hormones.
Did you know genetic predisposition is a factor that is present in many other diseases? Many of us have same capacity or chances of developing diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure because we have the similar genetic composition. The eventual determinant is the environment that you are exposed to.

Androgenic alopecia is therefore eventually determined by the environmental factors. As an example, the bald heads in Japan exponentially rose during the second world war II. This must have been as a result of the physical and emotional stress levels.
Here is what you can do to have practical solutions:
Check out your blood hormones concentration. This is the most significant step towards preempting androgen stimulated bald head in men. There are laboratory tests of genetic and hormones that would provide a clear picture of how much of chance you have to end up with the bald head.
Minimize stress levels. It is a fact that you cannot completely eliminate stress from life, yet this is a major determinant of your having or not having bald head. You can however minimize stress by doing what you love, planning for what you can manage to complete and spending the money that you have without borrowing. These are just but a few of the tips on how to manage stress and therefore reduce chances of having loss of hair.
