The enzyme that changes testosterone to a stronger form is mostly found in the part of the hair follicle called the dermal papilla.

Current treatments for male pattern baldness include minoxidil and finasteride, with new options being developed.

Finasteride effectively reduces hair growth in women with polycystic ovary syndrome or idiopathic hirsutism.

Apigenin may help promote hair growth and could treat hair loss.

Finasteride and CPA-EE2 equally reduce hirsutism, but affect hormone levels differently.

5-alpha reductase deficiency leads to male sexual development issues and treatments like finasteride help with prostate enlargement and hair loss.

Finasteride effectively improves hair growth and slows hair loss in men with male pattern baldness.

Testosterone causes hair loss in AGA mice, which are good for testing baldness treatments, and both minoxidil and cyproterone acetate can prevent this hair loss.

An extract from Quercus acutissima bark was found to reduce sebum production and block an enzyme linked to acne.

Androgen self-administration might be controlled by membrane receptors, not nuclear ones.

Finasteride, a hair loss drug, may cause long-term sexual side effects due to changes in hormone receptor levels.

Dihydrotestosterone can be made from dehydroepiandrosterone in skin cells without needing testosterone.

Muscles can make their own androgens, which may help muscle growth.

Epitestosterone may act as a weak antiandrogen and can inhibit an enzyme involved in testosterone metabolism.

The exact cause of increased 5α-reductase activity leading to hirsutism in women is still unknown.

The document explains hair biology, the causes of hair loss, and reviews various hair loss treatments.

Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.

Minoxidil and caffeine in transfersomes improve hair growth treatment.

Dihydrotestosterone increases certain inflammatory signals in skin cells, potentially contributing to acne.

Finasteride effectively treats male hair loss, improving growth and density.

Androgens cause oil-producing skin cells with androgen receptors to mature and produce more oil.

Citrullus colocynthis fruit extract may effectively treat testosterone-related hair loss, similar to finasteride.

5-alpha-reductase inhibitors may cause a low incidence of erectile dysfunction that decreases over time.

Testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a role in women's health issues like excess hair and baldness, and treatments blocking these hormones may help.

Estradiol and castration reduced prostate cancer development in rats when applied at early stages, but were ineffective after cancer was established.

The conclusion is that future hair loss treatments should target the root causes of hair thinning, not just promote hair growth.

The model suggests that scalp tension could lead to hair loss, with factors like blood vessel hardening, enlarged oil glands, and poor microcirculation also playing a role. It also hints at a possible link between skull shape and baldness pattern.

Men with common hair loss may have a higher risk of heart disease and diabetes, and should be checked for these conditions.

Androgen receptor signaling causes early aging of cells important for hair growth by damaging their DNA.

Analyzing hair with this method can help understand and monitor scalp conditions and treatment effects.
