Ik heb nog wat aanvullende interessante onderzoeken:

Testosterone metabolism in human skin cells in vitro and its interaction with estradiol and dutasteride.
Conclusie: Effects of 17alpha-estradiol in androgenetic alopecia are not due to 5alpha-reductase inhibition.

17alpha-estradiol induces aromatase activity in intact human anagen hair follicles ex vivo.
Conclusie: In conclusion, our ex vivo experiments suggest that under the influence of 17alpha-estradiol an increased conversion of testosterone to 17beta-estradiol and androstendione to estrone takes place, which might explain the beneficial effects of estrogen treatment of AGA.
