research Relations Between Sex Hormone Levels and Characteristics of Hair and Skin in Healthy Young Men
Higher androgen levels do not cause baldness in men.
research Cause of Androgenic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness may be caused by scalp pressure on hair follicles, which increases with age and leads to a cycle of hair loss. This process is not directly determined by genes.
research Male Androgenetic Alopecia
Male pattern baldness involves hormone-related hair thinning, shorter hair, and inflammation.
research Biological Activity of Novel Progesterone Derivatives Having Bulky Ester Side Chains at C-3
The more lipophilic the progesterone derivative, the better it binds to androgen receptors and has antiandrogenic effects.
research Finasteride-Induced Gynecomastia in a 62-Year-Old Man
Finasteride caused enlarged breast tissue in a 62-year-old man.
research Antiandrogen Therapy for Androgenetic Alopecia
Antiandrogen therapy helps treat genetic hair loss.
research Antiandrogens and the Skin
Antiandrogens can treat acne, hirsutism, and seborrhea by reducing sebum production and androgen action.
