Untargeted Metabolomics and Steroid Signatures in Urine of Male Pattern Baldness Patients After Finasteride Treatment for a Year

The study investigated the changes in metabolite and steroid profiles in the urine of patients with male pattern baldness after one year of treatment with finasteride, compared to control subjects. The research aimed to identify differentially regulated metabolites that could provide insights into the biochemical effects of finasteride treatment. The findings suggested that finasteride treatment led to significant alterations in specific metabolites, which could be linked to its therapeutic effects in managing male pattern baldness. However, the document did not specify the number of participants involved in the study.
