    TLDR Women with early onset androgenetic alopecia have worse lipid profiles.
    This case-control study analyzed lipid values in 300 patients, including 150 with early onset androgenetic alopecia (80 males and 70 females) and 150 controls with other skin diseases. Female patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher triglycerides (123.8 vs 89.43 mg/dl, p=0.006), total cholesterol (196.1 vs 182.3 mg/dl, p=0.014), LDL-C (114.1 vs 98.8 mg/dl, p=0.0006), and lower HDL-C (56.8 vs 67.7 mg/dl, p<0.05) compared to controls, suggesting a potential link between androgenetic alopecia and adverse lipid profiles in women.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      community Androgenetic alopecia is a skin disease: DHT-mediated skin disorders

      in Research/Science  63 upvotes 2 years ago
      Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) impacts various skin conditions, including Androgenetic alopecia and seborrheic dermatitis, by causing overactivity in sebaceous glands. Topical medications Tacrolimus and Clobetasol can reduce these inflammatory conditions, and treatments like RU58841, Minoxidil, and Finasteride may also be beneficial.
