    GlossaryAndrogen Receptor Gene Polymorphism

    variations in the DNA sequence of the androgen receptor gene

    Androgen Receptor Gene Polymorphism refers to variations in the DNA sequence of the androgen receptor (AR) gene, which can affect how the body responds to androgens, such as testosterone. These genetic differences can influence a range of physiological traits and conditions, including hair growth patterns and susceptibility to conditions like androgenetic alopecia (male or female pattern baldness).

      community Sugar and Hair loss connections

      in Research/Science  43 upvotes 1 week ago
      High sugar diets may worsen hair loss by increasing 5α-reductase activity and androgen levels, especially in women with PCOS. A low sugar diet might reduce scalp DHT levels, similar to finasteride, but genetics also significantly influence hair loss.
