Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Exploring Rat Corpus Cavernosum Alterations Induced by Finasteride Treatment and Withdrawal
Finasteride changes hormone levels and certain proteins in rats, but these effects can be reversed after stopping the drug.
research Recovery Effects of Nephelium Lappaceum Var. Pallens Extract on Testosterone-Induced Inhibition of Hair Growth in C57BL/6 Mice and Human Follicular Dermal Papilla Cells

Red pigmented rice, like Sang-Yod rice, could help promote hair growth and prevent hair loss.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Intracrine Testosterone Activation in Human Pancreatic Beta Cells Stimulates Insulin Secretion
Testosterone in human pancreas cells boosts insulin production.
research Efficacy of Glucopyranosyldiacylglycerol from Padina Arborescens in Preventing Hair Loss

research Stauntonia Hexaphylla Extract Ameliorates Androgenic Alopecia by Inhibiting Androgen Signaling in Testosterone-Induced Alopecia Mice
Stauntonia hexaphylla extract can help treat hair loss by blocking certain hormones.
research Finasteride for Androgenetic Alopecia
Finasteride increases hair count in men with hair loss, but the effect isn't permanent and hair loss returns if treatment stops.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: An Autosomal Dominant Disorder
Hair loss in androgenetic alopecia is caused by genetic factors and androgen excess, and can be treated with combined therapies.
research Promotion of Hair Growth by Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract
Rosemary leaf extract may be an effective natural treatment for hair growth and male pattern baldness.
