TLDR Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn reduced hair loss and improved hair growth in mice with testosterone-induced alopecia.
In 2014, a study was conducted on the effects of Adiantum capillus-veneris Linn. (A. capillus-veneris) on testosterone-induced hair loss in albino mice. The study found that mice treated with A. capillus-veneris experienced less hair loss and had a higher follicular density (1.92 ± 0.47) compared to the testosterone-only group (1.05 ± 0.21). The anagen/telogen ratio, which indicates the growth phase of hair, was also significantly higher in the A. capillus-veneris group (0.92 ± 0.06) compared to the testosterone group (0.23 ± 0.03). The study concluded that A. capillus-veneris showed promising activity against testosterone-induced alopecia. The study involved five groups of mice, with six mice in each group.

research Finasteride in the treatment of alopecia
Finasteride effectively treats male pattern baldness, improving hair growth and density.
research Androgens and alopecia
Male hormones, particularly DHT, are linked to male pattern hair loss, and treatments like finasteride can help, but they don't work for postmenopausal women's hair loss, which may have different causes.
research Molecular mechanisms of androgenetic alopecia
AGA causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to DHT binding, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil.
research Towards a molecular understanding of hair loss and its treatment
Future hair loss treatments should aim to extend hair growth, reactivate resting follicles, reverse shrinkage, and possibly create new follicles, with gene therapy showing promise.
research Incidence of Female Androgenetic Alopecia (Female Pattern Alopecia)
Hair loss in women is common, starts in late 20s, and affects 30% of women over 50.
research Animal models of androgen-dependent disorders of the pilosebaceous apparatus
Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.
