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

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