March 2022 in “Benha Journal of Applied Sciences” This study found that individuals with androgenetic alopecia had significantly lower serum vaspin levels than healthy controls, suggesting vaspin deficiency might help detect early-stage androgenic alopecia.
March 2022 in “Benha Journal of Applied Sciences” This study found that serum PGRN levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in male AGA patients compared to controls, suggesting a link to insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome.
September 2020 in “Benha Journal of Applied Sciences” In this study, researchers found that serum Myostatin levels and HOMA-IR were significantly higher in patients with androgenic alopecia compared to controls, suggesting they could be indicators of disease susceptibility and severity.
August 2020 in “Benha Journal of Applied Sciences” This study observed that patients with androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher serum FABP4 levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting FABP4 may be involved in the condition's pathogenesis.
December 2006 in “Lancet Oncology” In men aged 40–60 years with androgenic alopecia, this study found that 1 mg/day finasteride reduced serum PSA concentrations by 40-50% after 48 weeks compared to placebo.
