research Premature Androgenic Alopecia and Insulin Resistance: Male Equivalent of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have similar hormonal changes to women with Polycystic ovary syndrome, and could be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
research Genetic Ablation of Myelin Protein Zero-Like 3 in Mice Increases Energy Expenditure, Improves Glycemic Control, and Reduces Hepatic Lipid Synthesis
Removing myelin protein zero-like 3 in mice leads to better metabolism and resistance to obesity.
research Is Male Androgenetic Alopecia A Sign Of The Male Equivalent Of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Or Metabolic Syndrome?
Men with early hair loss and hormonal changes like PCOS could be the male equivalent of PCOS, not linked to metabolic syndrome.
research Influence of Finasteride Treatment on Metabolic Profile of Men with Androgenetic Alopecia
Taking 1 mg finasteride for a year reduces dihydrotestosterone levels in men with early hair loss, but doesn't change their metabolic state.
research The Association of Androgenetic Alopecia and Insulin Resistance Is Independent of Hyperandrogenemia: A Case-Control Study

The post discusses using Carnitine Tartrate, Potassium Chloride, and Niacin to reduce hair shedding, with the user experiencing significant improvement. The user also suggests considering a ketogenic/paleo diet for those with insulin resistance-related hair loss.
community Wtf have we been doing for the last 30 years
Hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, and dutasteride work but have side effects. A permanent cure is still not available due to the complexity of hair loss and limited investment.
community A science based addition to your hair loss routine
Blocking the Mitochondrial pyruvate carrier and using aldose reductase inhibitors like Indian gooseberry and berberine may help with hair growth. Magnesium can also be added to increase NADPH.
community Sugar and Hair loss connections
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.
community Dutasteride Infertility Debunked: Low T causes true infertility.
Dutasteride and finasteride may temporarily affect semen quality but are unlikely to cause permanent infertility. The Kim et al. study is criticized for poor methodology, and many prefer hair retention over potential fertility concerns, using treatments like dutasteride, finasteride, and minoxidil.
