research Vertex balding, plasma insulin-like growth factor 1, and insulin-like growth factor binding protein 3
Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3, suggesting these factors might be important in male pattern baldness.

Men with balding at age 45 had higher IGF-1 and lower IGFBP-3 levels, suggesting these factors might influence male pattern baldness.
research The Association between Low (or Reduced) Circulating Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 and Insulin-Like Growth Factor Binding Protein-3 with Hair Loss in Women. A Case-Control Study in Basrah, Iraq
This study investigated the relationship between serum levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) and insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) in 84 women, including 64 patients with FPHL and 20 controls. Results showed that women with FPHL had significantly lower IGF-1 levels compared to controls, while IGFBP-3 levels were not significantly different. Elevated ferritin levels were observed in FPHL cases, with a weak positive correlation to hair loss severity, whereas IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 had weak inverse correlations with severity that were not statistically significant. The study suggests a potential role of reduced IGF-1 in FPHL, but further research is needed to clarify the IGF axis's role in hair follicle biology.

community Compressed part of research of theory of androgenic/anabolitic balance. AGA h-responders analytic. Theory of physio-metabolitic method of anti AGA treatment
The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
community 22 yr asian male 2 year fin results
The user "Top_Replacement_7777" shared their positive results with finasteride for hair loss. They asked about maintaining their hair with finasteride and the impact of vaping on hair growth. Another user reassured them that vaping wouldn't affect their progress.
community IGFBP‐rP1 is a potential therapeutic target in androgenic alopecia
IGFBP‐rP1 shows potential for treating androgenic alopecia by influencing hair cycle transitions. Increasing IGF-1 levels may have similar effects to Minoxidil and 5-AR inhibitors in reducing hair loss.
community Physio-metabolic method (antiandrogen, minoxidil, leg training and cold)
The method combines finasteride, minoxidil, intense leg exercises, and cold exposure to treat androgenetic alopecia. It aims to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, enhancing hair growth.
community Stop expecting results in 2 months!
People discussing hair loss treatments emphasize the need for patience, as results from using finasteride and minoxidil can take 8-12 months or longer. Some users report early signs of improvement, while others experience continued shedding or slower progress.
