Androgenic hormone profile in patients with androgenetic alopecia
December 2015
in “Vestnik dermatologii i venerologii”
TLDR
People with hair loss have different hormone levels, and these hormones can affect hair growth.
The document from 7 years ago, "Androgenic hormone profile in patients with androgenetic alopecia," presented the results of various studies on the levels of testosterone, dihydrotestosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate, sex hormone-binding globulin, and other components of the androgen hormone profile in males with androgenetic alopecia. The research also explored the effects of androgens on hair follicles and the role of 5-alpha reductase in the conversion of androgens.
