androgenetic alopecia cardiovascular comorbidity markers cardiovascular risk factors AGA

TLDR Women with hair loss may have higher heart disease risk.

The study investigated the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and cardiovascular comorbidity markers in women. It concluded that there was a significant association between AGA and increased cardiovascular risk factors. The findings suggested that women with AGA should be monitored for cardiovascular health to manage potential comorbidities effectively. The study emphasized the importance of considering cardiovascular risk in the clinical evaluation of women with AGA.

community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

in Research 830 upvotes 1 year ago

Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

in Research/Science 673 upvotes 10 months ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

community Summary of Procapil video by Haircafe

in Minoxidil 2 upvotes 1 month ago

Procapil is marketed as a natural hair loss treatment but lacks strong evidence and is industry-biased. Minoxidil and Finasteride are the only FDA-approved treatments for androgenetic alopecia.

community SCUBE3 and GT20029 could be the closet thing to a cure: Hair Follicle Regeneration and Protection Against DHT

in Research/Science 13 upvotes 2 years ago

SCUBE3 and GT20029 are potential treatments for hair loss, with SCUBE3 stimulating hair growth and GT20029 protecting against DHT. A combined approach using SCUBE3, finasteride or dutasteride, and later GT20029 could provide a comprehensive treatment for androgenetic alopecia.

community Being Safe on Oral Minoxidil: tl;dr on the literature.

in Research/Science 49 upvotes 8 months ago

Oral minoxidil is effective for hair loss but can cause cardiovascular side effects, such as pericardial effusion, especially in those with genetic predispositions. Starting with low doses and monitoring cardiovascular health are advised to reduce risks.
