Studysummary This study observed that one-third of men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had altered hormonal profiles, which were associated with increased insulin resistance and more severe hair loss.

Increased DHEAS and Decreased Total Testosterone Serum Levels in a Subset of Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Exist?

research Increased DHEAS and Decreased Total Testosterone Serum Levels in a Subset of Men with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia: Does a Male PCOS-Equivalent Exist?

9 citations , February 2020 in “International Journal of Endocrinology”

This study found that men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia and certain risk factors may have worse gonadal steroidogenesis and an increased likelihood of developing gonadal dysfunction, suggesting a male equivalent of polycystic ovarian syndrome.

research The Association of Metabolic Syndrome and Insulin Resistance in Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia in Males: A Case-Control Study

10 citations , January 2019 in “Indian Journal of Dermatology”

This study found that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia were associated with metabolic syndrome, but not insulin resistance, compared to age-matched controls.

research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS): An Inflammatory, Systemic, Lifestyle Endocrinopathy

317 citations , April 2018 in “Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology/The Journal of steroid biochemistry and molecular biology”

This review discusses polycystic ovary syndrome, its detection, and treatments, concluding that lifestyle changes may offer sustainable management, although it reports no new clinical results.

research Does a Male Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Equivalent Exist?

28 citations , July 2017 in “Journal of Endocrinological Investigation”

This study suggests that early onset androgenetic alopecia in men may indicate a male PCOS equivalent, possibly leading to higher risks of metabolic and cardiovascular disorders later in life.

research A Comparison of the Hormonal Profile of Early Androgenetic Alopecia in Men With the Phenotypic Equivalent of Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome in Women

47 citations , June 2016 in “JAMA Dermatology”

This study suggests men with early androgenetic alopecia might have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovarian syndrome, potentially indicating risk for related health complications.

research Prevalence of Metabolic Syndrome in the Family Members of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome from North India

22 citations , January 2014 in “Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism”

This study found that metabolic syndrome or related metabolic issues are common among the family members of women with polycystic ovary syndrome.

research Androgenetic Alopecia, Metabolic Syndrome, and Insulin Resistance: Is There Any Association? A Case-Control Study

34 citations , January 2014 in “Indian Dermatology Online Journal”

This study supports evaluating metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in young males with advanced androgenic alopecia to potentially reduce future cardiovascular and type 2 diabetes risks.

research Hormonal Profile in Indian Men with Premature Androgenetic Alopecia

25 citations , January 2013 in “International Journal of Trichology”

In this study, decreased levels of SHBG and a high free androgen index were observed in men with severe premature baldness compared to controls, but this condition was not equivalent to PCOS or metabolic syndrome in females.

research The Investigation of Insulin Resistance and Metabolic Syndrome in Male Patients with Early-Onset Androgenetic Alopecia

42 citations , January 2011 in “European Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, higher scores of HOMA-IR and FIRI suggested that male patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia may have insulin resistance, although no significant differences in metabolic syndrome were found compared to controls.

research Male Pattern Androgenetic Alopecia in an Indian Context: A Perspective Study

28 citations , March 2007 in “Journal of The European Academy of Dermatology and Venereology”

In this study, researchers found that the existing Norwood and Hamilton classifications for androgenetic alopecia in Indian males had significant limitations, with 18% of cases not fitting into existing pattern categories.

research Hormonal Profile of Men with Premature Balding

29 citations , February 2004 in “Experimental and Clinical Endocrinology & Diabetes”

This study suggests that many men with premature balding exhibit a hormonal pattern similar to some aspects of polycystic ovary syndrome in women.

research Androgenetic Alopecia in Men and Women

77 citations , March 2001 in “Clinics in Dermatology”

This article discusses treatment approaches for female pattern hair loss and concludes that available medical treatments are effective in reversing or stabilizing the condition in most cases of mild-to-moderate severity.
