research The Metabolism and Control Mechanism of Human Hair Follicles
Human hair follicles have a unique metabolism that changes between growth stages and may contribute to baldness.
research Minoxidil Stimulates Cutaneous Blood Flow in Human Balding Scalps: Pharmacodynamics Measured by Laser Doppler Velocimetry and Photopulse Plethysmography
Minoxidil increases blood flow in balding scalps, possibly reversing hair loss.
research The Unit Area Trichogram in the Assessment of Androgen-Dependent Alopecia
This study found that individuals with androgenic alopecia have an increased number of thin hairs (less than 40 microns in diameter) per cm², which may affect their clinical appearance.
research Androgenic Effect of Testosterone and Its Metabolites in Relation to Their Biotransformation in the Skin
In this study, testosterone and certain metabolites were highly effective in promoting sebaceous structure growth in the female hamster flank organ, while others had limited or no effect.
research Giant Cells in Male Pattern Alopecia: A Histologic Marker and Pathogenetic Clue
This study observed that multinucleate giant cells were present in 31% of biopsy specimens from patients with male pattern alopecia but not in other alopecia types, suggesting a potential histologic marker for androgenetic alopecia.
research Testosterone Metabolism in the Skin
This review discusses testosterone metabolism in human skin and its role in androgenetic skin disorders, suggesting that temporary increases in dihydrotestosterone may lead to these conditions.
research The Metabolism of Dehydroepiandrosterone by Human Scalp Hair Follicles
This study found that hair follicles from balding men show significant metabolic differences compared to those from non-balding individuals, particularly in their ability to process dehydroepiandrosterone.
research Metabolism of Androgens by Isolated Human Hair Follicles
This study observed that male human hair follicles metabolized dehydroepiandrosterone (DHA) more intensively than skin did and found altered DHA metabolism in follicles from balding individuals.
