    TLDR Adenosine treatment thickens hair in Caucasian men with hair loss.
    The study found that topical adenosine treatment can increase the proportion of thick hair in Caucasian men with androgenetic alopecia. The treatment was effective in improving hair density, hair diameter, and overall appearance after 6 months of treatment. Adenosine did not cause any adverse effects on Caucasian men and may be a useful alternative to minoxidil.
