    chemical messengers regulating bodily functions via the bloodstream

    Hormones are chemical messengers produced by glands in the endocrine system that travel through the bloodstream to tissues and organs, regulating various bodily functions such as growth, metabolism, and mood. In the context of hair and alopecia, hormones like androgens can influence hair growth and loss, with imbalances potentially leading to conditions like androgenetic alopecia.
