    TLDR There's no significant link between blood fat levels and male pattern baldness.
    In 2020, a study was conducted on 80 male patients, 40 with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and 40 without, to compare their blood lipid profiles. The researchers specifically examined serum triglyceride (TG) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol levels. The results showed no significant difference in these levels between the two groups, leading to the conclusion that there was no significant relationship between blood lipid profiles and AGA in male patients. The study also discussed the controversial link between AGA and coronary heart disease due to the relationship with metabolic syndrome, suggesting the need for more research with larger patient samples.
