androgenetic alopecia metabolomic profiles serum hair biomarkers pathophysiology targeted metabolites therapeutic strategies biological processes AGA hair loss

TLDR Men with androgenetic alopecia have unique metabolomic patterns that could help develop targeted treatments.

The study investigates the metabolomic profiles in serum and hair of men with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) to identify potential biomarkers and understand the pathophysiology of the condition. The research was conducted by a team from Kyung Hee University in Seoul, Korea, and involved an integrated analysis of targeted metabolites. The findings suggest distinct metabolomic patterns in individuals with AGA, which could contribute to the development of targeted therapeutic strategies. The study emphasizes the importance of metabolomics in providing insights into the biological processes underlying hair loss in men.
