This study examined the impact of cytokines on postpartum hair loss in 150 women aged 28-38 who had their first cesarean delivery. It found that these women exhibited significantly higher levels of inflammatory markers (IL-6, TNF-α, IL-10, CRP) and metabolic disturbances, including increased BMI, fasting blood sugar, cholesterol, and TSH levels, compared to healthy controls. The results suggest a strong connection between inflammation, metabolic changes, and postpartum hair loss, indicating the potential for targeted interventions to address these issues.
