    TLDR Demodicosis causes significant oxidative stress in dogs.
    The study investigated oxidative stress in 32 dogs, 21 with demodicosis and 11 healthy. Clinical signs in affected dogs included alopecia, erythema, and pruritus. Oxidative stress markers were measured, showing higher MDA (20.30 nmol/ml) and lower antioxidant levels (GSH 4.9 nmol/ml, GPx 0.42 U/l, SOD 4.1 U/l) in dogs with demodicosis compared to post-treatment and control groups. Post-treatment values improved but were still lower than controls. The findings indicate that demodicosis causes significant oxidative stress in dogs.

      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.

      The conversation discusses the tension theory as a cause of male pattern baldness (MPB), suggesting that scalp tension and reduced subcutaneous fat layer contribute to hair loss. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, microneedling, scalp massages, and Botox.

      A 25-year-old with AGA experienced hair thinning and dandruff, stabilized with topical finasteride and minoxidil but saw minimal regrowth. They seek advice on styling and consider oral minoxidil and microneedling for denser hair.
