research Estimation of Serum Aldosterone, Free Testosterone, and DHEA-S and Scalp Androgen and Aldosterone Receptors in Female Androgenetic Alopecia: Is the Mystery Solved?
High aldosterone and free testosterone levels link to female hair loss; testing aldosterone may predict hypertension risk.
research Androgenetic Alopecia: Pathogenetic Mechanisms and Treatment Approaches
Androgenic alopecia, a common hair loss condition, is linked to changes in androgen metabolism and genetics, and can be treated with finasteride and minoxidil, but these treatments are only fully effective in 10% of patients.
research Pharmacology and Potential Use of Cyproterone Acetate
Cyproterone Acetate effectively treats androgen-related conditions and is used in prostate cancer therapy and hormone therapy for transgender women.
research Is the Comb Over Dying? A Mouse Model for Male Pattern Baldness (Androgenic Alopecia)
The mouse model suggests male pattern baldness may be due to an enzyme increasing DHT and higher androgen receptor levels in hair follicles.
research Prevalence of Hormonal and Endocrine Dysfunction in Patients with Lichen Planopilaris: A Retrospective Data Analysis of 168 Patients
Lichen planopilaris (LPP) is linked to androgen excess, while frontal fibrosing alopecia (FFA) is linked to androgen deficiency.
research New Target for Minoxidil in the Treatment of Androgenetic Alopecia
Minoxidil may work for hair loss by reducing androgen sensitivity and altering hormone-related enzymes.
research Hyperandrogenemia in an Ethnically Heterogeneous Cohort of Midwestern United States Diabetic Pregnancies
