androgenetic alopecia serum irisin insulin resistance HOMA-IR BMI fasting insulin AGA

Studysummary This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, but no significant relationship was detected between serum irisin levels and insulin resistance markers like BMI, fasting insulin, or HOMA-IR.
