In this study, researchers observed that male COVID-19 patients with more than 23 CAG repeats in the androgen receptor gene and lower testosterone levels experienced more severe disease outcomes.
research Racial variations in COVID‐19 deaths may be due to androgen receptor genetic variants associated with prostate cancer and androgenetic alopecia. Are anti‐androgens a potential treatment for COVID‐19?
This article discusses the potential link between genetic variants associated with androgen receptor activity and racial variations in COVID-19 mortality, suggesting a possible role for anti-androgens in treatment, but reports no new clinical findings.
research Androgen receptor genetic variant predicts COVID‐19 disease severity: a prospective longitudinal study of hospitalized COVID‐19 male patients
This publication is a letter discussing the association between an androgen receptor genetic variant and COVID-19 disease severity in hospitalized male patients, but it reports no new research results.
research Correlations between soluble receptor for advanced glycation end products and heme oxogenase-1 in post-COVID-19 patients with telogen effluvium
This study found that post-COVID-19 telogen effluvium is strongly associated with elevated oxidative stress marker sRAGE and reduced antioxidant marker HO-1, suggesting potential biomarkers for early diagnosis and monitoring.

5 / 271 resultscommunity Popular hair loss drug linked to higher suicide risk: compared to non-users, finasteride (Proscar/ Propecia) users have a markedly increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts. Over 30 years of observation, 19,320 suicides were expected.
Finasteride users may have an increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal thoughts, though some attribute these issues to hair loss itself. The link between finasteride and mental health effects is debated, with varying user experiences.
community Has any premature balding guys actually saved and maintained their hair?
A user discusses their struggle with aggressive hair loss starting at a young age and their use of various treatments, including topical finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and RU58841, without significant success. Other users share their experiences and suggest trying oral finasteride or dutasteride, topical spironolactone, and maintaining a vitamin regimen, while noting potential side effects like gynecomastia.
community Using the nuclear stack and still losing hair... Is this the end for my hair?
The user is experiencing ongoing hair loss despite using a comprehensive treatment regimen including dutasteride, oral minoxidil, cyproterone acetate, transdermal estradiol, and topical bicalutamide. They suspect cyproterone acetate may be worsening their hair loss and are considering switching to injection monotherapy.
community I have tried many treatments but it's getting worse. 23M.
A 23-year-old male experiencing worsening hair loss has tried topical Minoxidil, Finasteride, Progesterone, Hydrocortisone butyrate, and Ketoconazole. He is considering switching to oral Finasteride due to concerns about side effects and lack of improvement.
community Summary of future treatments from 2020
Hair loss treatments include finasteride, minoxidil, microneedling, dutasteride, CB-03-01, RU-58841, and experimental options like KY-19382 and stem cell therapy. Some treatments are considered ineffective or risky, such as ketoconazole, PRP, and low-level laser therapy.
