research A study of the association of premature androgenetic alopecia with metabolic syndrome and coronary artery disease

2 citations , November 2017 in “International Journal of Research in Dermatology”

In this study, the researchers found that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome was not higher in men with premature androgenetic alopecia compared to the general population.

research Serum Vitamin D levels in males with premature androgenetic alopecia: a prospective case-control study

February 2025 in “Folia Medica”

This study found that men with androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to controls and the deficiency strongly correlated with the severity of the condition.

research SERUM VITAMIN D LEVELS IN PREMATURE ANDROGENETIC ALOPECIA- A CASE -CONTROL STUDY.

May 2023 in “GLOBAL JOURNAL FOR RESEARCH ANALYSIS”

This study found that males with early onset androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum vitamin D levels compared to age-matched healthy controls, although no correlation between the severity of alopecia and vitamin D levels was observed.

research Premature androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance. Male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?

12 citations , December 2005 in “PubMed”

This study suggests that some men with premature androgenic alopecia may have hormonal profiles similar to women with polycystic ovary syndrome, potentially indicating a male equivalent of the condition.

research Finasteride treatment of premature androgenetic alopecia

April 2007 in “9th European Congress of Endocrinology”

Finasteride, a hair loss medication, was found to be safe and effective in improving hair quality and stopping hair loss in men with early-onset baldness.

community The Real Cause Of Androgenetic Alopecia

675 upvotes 1 year ago

Androgenetic alopecia is caused by DHT affecting hair growth. Finasteride and minoxidil are used to manage hair loss by blocking DHT and promoting hair growth.

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens.

2 upvotes 1 year ago

A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.

community My Theory Of Androgenic Alopecia

16 upvotes 10 months ago

Hair loss is linked to cellular physiology and the IGF-1 to TGF-B1 ratio, not just androgen sensitivity. The theory lacks evidence, while finasteride and minoxidil are effective treatments.

community Finasteride success for androgenic alopecia by a 27M physician (NO PICTURES)

4 upvotes 10 years ago

A 27-year-old male physician improved hair density using minoxidil 5% foam and finasteride 1mg every other day, with initial sexual side effects that subsided. He recommends trying finasteride for a year but warns against dutasteride due to potential liver effects.

community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV

in Research/Science 9 months ago

Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.

learn Finasteride

Finasteride for alopecia: the definitive guide to using it correctly. Finasteride 1 mg daily blocks DHT and, in trials, slowed hair loss in most men over 6 to 12 months, though some men do not respond and the benefit lasts only while the drug is taken. It is prescription-only and carries a pregnancy contraindication.
Does hair strand thickness decrease in men with androgenic alopecia? Can finasteride help restore it? Androgenic alopecia thins hair strands by miniaturizing follicles. The pivotal finasteride trials (1,553 men, 1 mg/day, two years) report increased hair counts and improved assessed appearance, but they measured density, not the diameter of individual strands, so the effect on thickness itself is not established.

learn GT20029

Is GT20029 safe and effective for both men and women with androgenic alopecia? Not yet. GT20029 is an experimental drug: early trials suggest it is well tolerated, but its effectiveness and long-term safety are unproven, especially in women.

learn Alfatradiol

Alfatradiol: What does a form of estrogen have to do with hair loss in men? Alfatradiol (17α-estradiol) is a prescription topical hormone, licensed for androgenetic alopecia in Germany but not FDA-approved. The controlled trial evidence is in women, where it produced stabilisation rather than regrowth and was outperformed by minoxidil; no comparable placebo-controlled trial in men appears to have been published.

learn TDM-105795

What types of alopecia or hair loss conditions might TDM-105795 be designed to target based on current research? TDM-105795 may target non-scarring alopecia, particularly androgenetic alopecia.
