Androgens prevent hair growth by changing Wnt signals in cells.

Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.

Reduced androgens linked to kinky hair disorder and hair loss; 5a-reductase inhibitors may help.

COVID-19 may worsen with androgens; anti-androgen drugs could help.

Higher testosterone and DHT levels are linked to hair loss in men, but not to prostate cancer risk.

Early onset hair loss linked to genetics and androgen levels.

Vertex baldness has higher DHT levels than frontal baldness, but testosterone and PSA levels are similar.

Androgens significantly affect female hair loss, and hormonal treatments may help.

Common baldness, also known as Androgenetic Alopecia, is caused by a combination of genetic factors and hormones called androgens.

Androgens may block hair growth signals, targeting this could treat hair loss.

Androgens contribute to common male hair loss; more research needed for hair growth medication.

Androgenetic alopecia, a genetic disorder affecting up to 50% of adults, is caused by an excessive response to androgens leading to hair follicle shrinkage. Treatments include FDA-approved drugs, other therapies like low-dose oral minoxidil, and hair transplantation.

AGA is caused by genetics and androgens, treatable with finasteride and minoxidil.

Androgenetic alopecia causes hair loss by shrinking hair follicles due to androgens, with the connection between the muscle and hair follicle determining if the loss is reversible.

Alopecia areata, a type of hair loss, may be passed through T cells and has genetic links, while treatments vary in effectiveness. Male pattern baldness can be treated with finasteride and is influenced by androgens in hair follicles.

Hair loss increases with age and is triggered by hormones like androgens.

There are several promising treatments for hair loss, including dutasteride, latanoprost, ketoconazole shampoo, anti-androgens, laser/light treatment, and platelet-rich plasma, but more research is needed.

Excessive androgens in women with polycystic ovary syndrome can lead to excessive hair growth and hair loss, but this might not fully explain these conditions.

Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.

Hormones like androgens, estrogen, thyroid hormones, and stress hormones can contribute to hair loss, and treatments target these hormonal imbalances.

FAGA diagnosis uses blood tests and trichoscopy, with treatments like topical minoxidil, oral anti-androgens, and hormone-modulating drugs.

Diffuse alopecia in women may be related to androgens and iron deficiency, and basic hormone and nutrient screening is useful.

Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.

Dermal papilla cells play a key role in hair loss by responding to androgens.

A substance called Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor can protect certain hair follicle stem cells from damage caused by androgens, suggesting a new possible treatment for hair loss.

Women with severe acne, hirsutism, and androgenic alopecia often have higher levels of certain androgens, but the specific pattern can't be predicted just by looking at symptoms.

Androgens can both increase and decrease hair growth in different parts of the body.

Some postmenopausal women with frontal fibrosing alopecia stopped losing hair with finasteride treatment, hinting at a possible hormonal cause.

Androgens can cause hair growth in some areas and hair loss on the scalp.
