Research context

Read sources and limitations before applying a claim.

How much FOXO4-DRI should a human dose based on mouse studies?

The original 2017 mouse study used 5 mg/kg IP, 3 times on alternate days. For a 60kg human, this translates to approximately 25mg per dose, administered as 3 doses every other day (75-100mg total per cycle). However, human pharmacokinetics differ significantly from mice, making these translations speculative.

Research Indications

Used off-label at 0.5mg daily for male pattern hair loss. Clinical trials demonstrate superior efficacy compared to finasteride, with greater increases in target area hair count attributed to dual 5-alpha reductase inhibition and more complete DHT suppression. Strong evidence for regrowth at the vertex region, where DHT-sensitive follicles are most concentrated. The greater DHT suppression achieved by dutasteride may provide additional benefit over finasteride in this area. Effective at slowing frontal hairline recession and improving mid-scalp density. Some evidence suggests dutasteride's dual inhibition provides a modest advantage over finasteride for frontal hair loss, though results vary between individuals. Some men who do not respond adequately to finasteride may benefit from switching to dutasteride, as the additional Type I inhibition provides more complete DHT suppression. Not all finasteride non-responders will respond to dutasteride. FDA-approved at 0.5mg daily for the treatment of symptomatic BPH. Reduces prostate volume by approximately 25% and improves urinary symptoms and flow rate over 6-12 months of treatment. Consistently reduces prostate volume more effectively than finasteride due to dual isoform inhibition, with reductions of 25-30% documented in long-term clinical trials.

Dosing Protocols

Tretinoin is used exclusively as a topical medication, available in cream, gel, and microsphere gel formulations at concentrations ranging from 0.01% to 0.1%. It is applied once nightly to clean, dry skin. The cream formulation is generally better tolerated and more moisturizing, while gel formulations are preferred for oily or acne-prone skin. Microsphere (Retin-A Micro) technology provides controlled release, reducing irritation. A pea-sized amount is sufficient for the entire face. Application should be followed by a moisturizer if needed, and broad-spectrum sunscreen is mandatory during the day. Beginner / Acclimation phase 0.025% cream Every other night or 2-3 nights per week for 2-4 weeks, then nightly Topical application to face Standard anti-aging and acne treatment 0.05% cream or gel Once nightly Maximum strength (experienced users / resistant acne) 0.1% cream or gel Reduced irritation formulation 0.04% or 0.08% microsphere gel (Retin-A Micro)
