    TLDR Rosuvastatin improves lipid levels, reduces inflammation, but worsens insulin sensitivity in men with early-onset hair loss.
    A study investigated the effects of rosuvastatin treatment on cardiometabolic risk factors in men with mixed dyslipidemia and early-onset androgenic alopecia. The study found that rosuvastatin treatment improved lipid profiles and reduced inflammation markers in men with mixed dyslipidemia and early-onset androgenic alopecia, but did not have a significant effect on androgenic alopecia. However, it negatively affected insulin sensitivity in the hair loss group. Men with early-onset androgenic alopecia have increased levels of cardiometabolic risk factors, and early screening and management of these risk factors is important for this population. Rosuvastatin treatment can be beneficial for men with mixed dyslipidemia and early-onset androgenic alopecia by improving lipid profiles and reducing cardiometabolic risk factors, potentially lowering their risk for cardiovascular disease.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  142 upvotes 10 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.
