July 2026 in “Scientific Reports” This study found that, among women with type 1 diabetes, those with polycystic ovary syndrome did not show worse lipoprotein and inflammatory glycoprotein profiles compared to those without the syndrome, although they had more harmful HDL particle subclasses than women with typical PCOS.
May 2026 in “Global Translational Medicine” This study found that ethanol extract of Syzygium aromaticum (clove) leaves significantly improved lipid profiles and increased body weight in testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia rats, suggesting potential anti-hyperlipidemic effects and modulation of body weight through metabolic activity.
January 2026 in “Medicine” This study found that elevated LDL-C levels increased the risk of developing androgenic alopecia, whereas HDL-C levels showed no significant effect.
November 2025 in “Journal of Contemporary Medicine” This study observed that women with PCOS exhibited higher levels of triglycerides, fasting insulin, HOMA-IR, total testosterone, DHEAS, and LH/FSH ratio, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to healthy controls, with these markers varying across different PCOS phenotypes.
April 2025 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study suggests potential causal associations between certain lipid levels, specifically HDL-C and triglycerides, and alopecia areata, highlighting the importance of lipid management as a therapeutic target.
March 2025 in “Journal of Pakistan Association of Dermatologists” This study observed that 62.7% of men with androgenetic alopecia had abnormal blood lipid levels, suggesting the importance of assessing lipid profiles in these individuals for early detection of cardiovascular and metabolic risks.
January 2025 in “International Journal of Trichology” This study reported that among young males with early-onset androgenetic alopecia, there is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome, particularly in those with severe hair loss, indicating a potential need for early screening and lifestyle changes to reduce cardiovascular risks.
June 2024 in “Research Square (Research Square)” In this cross-sectional study, researchers observed that individuals with early-onset androgenetic alopecia showed significant differences in hair growth parameters and metabolic factors compared to those with normal-onset AGA, suggesting a potential association with metabolic syndrome, though more research is needed to clarify this relationship.
May 2024 in “KIU journal of health science” In this study, kolaviron and quercetin were found to reverse elevated biomarkers associated with testosterone-induced benign prostatic hyperplasia in Wistar rats, with both treatments effectively increasing HDL-c levels, though quercetin did not significantly affect triglyceride levels.
May 2024 in “Journal of cosmetic dermatology” This study found that early-onset male androgenetic alopecia is associated with abnormal lipid metabolism and lower levels of certain serum markers, which may serve as risk factors or protective factors for the condition.
This study found that androgenetic alopecia in men was significantly associated with dyslipidemia, particularly in more severe cases, suggesting it could be a marker for systemic illness.
October 2023 in “Pakistan Journal of Medical & Health Sciences” In this study examining male patients with androgenetic alopecia, 63.1% were found to have dyslipidemia, with more severe hair loss significantly associated with higher lipid abnormalities, suggesting a link to cardiovascular risk factors.
October 2018 in “International journal of reproduction, contraception, obstetrics and gynecology” In this study, dyslipidemia was found to be prevalent among young adult women with polycystic ovary syndrome in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, particularly characterized by increased triglycerides and decreased HDL-c levels.
September 2017 in “The journal of investigative dermatology/Journal of investigative dermatology” This study found weak epidemiological associations between male pattern baldness and coronary heart disease, but no significant genetic link, though specific loci shared risks with other conditions.
March 2017 in “Iraqi Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences” This study found that Iraqi male bodybuilders abusing anabolic androgenic steroids experienced significant changes in sex hormones, liver and kidney function, and lipid profiles compared to non-AAS-using controls.
June 2021 in “Egyptian Journal of Dermatology and Venereology” This study found that psoriasis, acne, and androgenetic alopecia are associated with an atherogenic lipid profile, suggesting an increased risk of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease, especially among psoriasis patients.
January 2021 in “Menoufia Medical Journal” This study found that patients with early-onset androgenetic alopecia had significantly higher levels of fasting blood sugar, triglycerides, and cholesterol, suggesting an increased risk of developing coronary artery disease.
September 2018 in “Fertility and Sterility” In this study, researchers observed that overweight Taiwanese women with PCOS who carry the HSD3B1 1245C allele have a significantly higher risk of developing androgenic alopecia compared to those with the wild-type allele.

August 2022 in “Archives of Medical Science” This publication discusses the 2021 ESC Guidelines for the prevention of cardiovascular disease in clinical practice and reports no new results.
December 2025 in “Annals of the College of Medicine Mosul/Annals of the College of Medecine” The study found that metformin alone most effectively reduced insulin resistance in Iraqi women with PCOS, but combining metformin with finasteride produced greater improvements in insulin sensitivity markers.
This study found that patients with lichen planopilaris exhibit a higher pro-atherogenic lipid profile and elevated atherogenic indexes, suggesting a need for increased cardiovascular and lipid monitoring in these individuals.

June 2015 in “International Journal of Dermatology” In this study, non-obese females with early-onset androgenetic alopecia showed higher total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and atherogenic index, and lower HDL cholesterol compared to controls, suggesting an association with adverse cardiovascular risk factors.
November 2024 in “SKIN The Journal of Cutaneous Medicine” This study observed that patients with severe alopecia areata treated with baricitinib experienced increases in total cholesterol, LDL-C, and HDL-C, consistent with a JAK inhibitor class effect, but the mean increase was modest and lipid-lowering medication initiation was infrequent.
