It raises 5 AR?

It raises 5 AR?

Low Na+ diet stimulated the 5 alpha-reductase pathway causing increases in the synthesis of 5 alpha-dihydroaldosterone and 3 beta 5 alpha-tetrahydroaldosterone

So too much salt keeps me less androgenic and more hair? Hmmm lolol

We don’t know whether Dht metabolism is also increased, 5ar conversion of test isn’t the end reaction of the chain
