January 2022 in “Anais Brasileiros De Dermatologia” This retrospective study of 23 pediatric patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) found that AGA is more common in adolescents, with a mean age of 15.3 years, and affects both genders equally. The most frequent hair loss pattern was diffuse thinning at the crown, and trichoscopic findings showed >20% hair diameter diversity in all patients. Notably, 60.9% of the patients had at least one metabolic syndrome (MetS) risk factor, with obesity or overweight being the most common. Increased levels of free and total testosterone were observed in some patients, but other hormonal levels were generally normal. The study emphasizes the importance of recognizing AGA in pediatric patients for timely diagnosis and management, and highlights the need to screen for MetS risk factors to prevent future cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.

October 2021 in “Endokrynologia Polska” The study investigated the effects of levothyroxine on thyroid autoimmunity and hypothalamic–pituitary–thyroid axis activity in men with autoimmune hypothyroidism, comparing those with early-onset androgenetic alopecia (n=24) to those without hair loss (n=24). Results showed that while levothyroxine decreased thyroid antibody titres and thyrotropin levels and increased free thyroid hormone levels in both groups, these effects were less pronounced in men with early-onset male-pattern baldness. The degree of reduction in antibody titres and thyrotropin levels correlated with baseline testosterone levels and insulin sensitivity. The study concludes that levothyroxine therapy benefits are less pronounced in men with early-onset androgenetic alopecia.
