TLDR Insulin might be involved in causing hair loss and acne.
The study investigated the relationship between insulin resistance (IR) and androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and acne vulgaris, involving 54 patients with AGA, 54 with acne vulgaris, and 54 controls. The research found no statistically significant differences in sociodemographic distribution, blood glucose, and insulin levels between the cases and controls, nor between the AGA and acne groups. Despite these findings, the study concluded that insulin might play a role in the etiopathogenesis of AGA and acne vulgaris.
