Serum Androgens and Prostate-Specific Antigen Levels in Androgenetic Alopecia: Is There a Difference Between Frontal and Vertex Baldness?

The study aimed to investigate the difference in serum androgen levels and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels between men with frontal and vertex baldness caused by androgenetic alopecia (AGA). The study found that men with vertex baldness had higher serum levels of dihydrotestosterone (DHT) than those with frontal baldness, but there were no significant differences in serum testosterone (T) or PSA levels between the two groups. The study suggests that higher DHT levels may be associated with vertex baldness, but further research is needed to confirm this finding.
