    TLDR Men with androgenetic alopecia (hair loss) are more likely to have fatty liver disease than those without hair loss.
    The study "Comparison of Fatty Liver Disease in Men with and without Androgenetic Alopecia" involved 140 men aged 25 to 55 years, with 70 men in two groups of men with and without androgenetic alopecia. The study found that 77.1% of men with androgenetic alopecia had fatty liver disease, compared to 58.6% of men without androgenetic alopecia, a significant difference (p=0.019). Grade one and three fatty liver was significantly higher in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to the group without androgenetic alopecia (p=0.011). There was no significant relationship between the grade of fatty liver and the extent of androgenetic alopecia (p=0.059), but the extent of hair loss in obese individuals was significantly higher (p<0.001). The study concluded that fatty liver disease has a significant frequency in men with androgenetic alopecia.

      The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.

      The user has been using a combination of oral finasteride, oral dutasteride, topical and oral minoxidil, microneedling, and keto shampoo for hair loss, experiencing significant shedding recently. Suggestions include simplifying the regimen by dropping finasteride and topical minoxidil, and possibly adding RU58841, while others advise maintaining the current approach for consistent results.

      A 29-year-old woman is experiencing gradual hair thinning since age 15, suspects Androgenic Alopecia, and has tried 5% minoxidil with little success. She has purchased various hair loss treatments including minoxidil, dutasteride, finasteride, and spironolactone, but is cautious about starting them due to potential interactions with her ADHD medication.
