Where is the source of this? Please post link or cite study. Thank you.

Do you know how much patients and controls were measured?

Hoppi said:Squeegee man I heard an amazing thing about all of this, it may well not be new to you but.. it makes a lot of sense so I wanted to tell you! Here is what ma duuuude Immortal said about all this (sebum):
"Hoppipolla - When blood sugar levels are low, due to high insulin clearing glucose levels from the blood, liver and so forth, the adrenal glands are stimulated to increase adrogens, and at the same time, the body is urged to replenish its supply of glucose, so when glucose levels raise again with the consumption of food, the eventual high glucose level will increase IGF-1, which will increase sebum, and the cycle repeats.
For a more exact explanation you can check this PDF file out:

So, why did I get oily scalp, then dandruff? Because! I got my insulin too high which pushed my IGF-1 too high (plus I was eating a ton of soy and drinking too much milk lol), which increased my sebum which caught more DHT (which may have been high due to me squishing my T levels with insulin/cortisol), which made more sebum, and then I now probably have some very mild fungal infection on the sebum which has given me mild dandruff ._. (very, very common amongst MPBers I think).
I believe the solution is to remove the fungal activity and dandruff, reduce inflammation, reduce sebum and possibly shrink the sebaceous glands (I am not sure if the enlarging of them is merely permanent or continues for a while.
Phew! Man I'm gonna get some sleep lol

I'm not sure what you mean.
armandein said:It is possible read the full publication?
I seriously doubt that it's available online. I can give you the full citation to it, if you have access to a medical library.
armandein said:Bryan
My question is how many persons were tested in the study?
armandein said:Please, give us the full citation

KeepTheHair said:Guys I have googled it a bit I might just be unlucky but I can't find out what the chances of hair loss are when you are using accutane? Some say very small some sources say "common".
Which exactly is it?
i am here to shrink my sebum at the same time hitting hard on my DHT
