This study identified genomic regions and genes associated with wool, live weight, body condition, and reproduction traits in Uruguayan Merino sheep, highlighting potential genetic factors influencing these characteristics.
research Elevated Dehydroepiandrosterone Sulfate Levels as the Reproductive Phenotype in the Brothers of Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
This study found that brothers of women with PCOS exhibit elevated DHEAS levels, indicating a potential familial genetic trait, but did not show increased rates of premature balding.
research Dissection of genetic variation and evidence for pleiotropy in male pattern baldness
This study found that male pattern baldness in European males is strongly heritable and associated with genetic markers linked to earlier puberty, bone density, and pancreatic function.
research GENOME-WIDE ANALYSIS REVEALS THE MOLECULAR BASIS OF GENETIC VARIATION OF IMPORTANT ECONOMIC TRAITS IN CASHMERE GOATS ON QINGHAI-TIBET PLATEAU
This study identified 1277 genomic regions selected for traits in indigenous Chinese goats, including cashmere fiber, reproduction, size, and high-altitude adaptation, revealing key candidate genes for these phenotypes through whole-genome resequencing.

5 / 69 resultscommunity My personal thoughts on DHT. belive it or not
The conversation discusses a personal theory on the role of DHT in stress and reproduction, suggesting it converts testosterone for reproductive traits. The discussion includes skepticism and mentions individual differences in physiology and neurochemistry.
community Why do we get bald from evolutionary perspective
Baldness is not an evolutionary disadvantage because it occurs after reproductive age. Treatments like Minoxidil and Finasteride are used for androgenetic alopecia but don't address the root cause.
community Why do we have head hair in first place if we evolved to start losing it in some cases as soon as puberty hits
Hair loss is influenced by genetics and sensitivity to hormones like DHT. Treatments like Minoxidil and finasteride are commonly used, and baldness persists as it doesn't affect reproductive success.
community Could male-pattern baldness have a secondary photobiological function? The Solar Window Hypothesis
Male-pattern baldness might increase UVB exposure on the scalp, potentially affecting vitamin D and skeletal health. The hypothesis is debated, with some seeing it as a minor benefit in specific contexts.
community Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
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.
