TLDR PON1 levels might indicate hair loss severity, but other health factors can affect this.
The correspondence discusses the potential role of serum paroxonase 1 (PON1) levels as a biomarker for the severity of androgenetic alopecia (AGA), as suggested by Tantawy et al. The authors agree with the idea but highlight that PON1 levels can be influenced by various factors such as diabetes, dyslipidemia, and genetic polymorphisms. They suggest that future studies should consider these confounding factors to better understand the relationship between PON1 levels and AGA.
