research Five-Year Efficacy of Finasteride in 801 Japanese Men with Androgenetic Alopecia

13 citations , April 2015 in “Journal of Dermatology”

In this study, long-term finasteride treatment improved androgenetic alopecia in Japanese men, with younger age and less advanced disease at treatment start predicting better efficacy.

research Leptin of Dermal Adipose Tissue Is Differentially Expressed During the Hair Cycle and Contributes to Adipocyte-Mediated Growth Inhibition of Anagen-Phase Vibrissa Hair

30 citations , October 2014 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that leptin from dermal white adipose tissue may regulate hair growth and cycle progression through its receptor on hair follicle epithelium in mice and humans.

research Hair Cycle Control by Leptin as a New Anagen Inducer

41 citations , November 2013 in “Experimental Dermatology”

This study found that leptin acts as an inducer of the anagen phase in hair follicles, suggesting its role as a potential player in hair biology.
