A49T gene variant linked to higher prostate cancer risk, lower hormone levels, and slightly reduced balding risk.
research Retrospective Evaluation of Sex Hormones and Steroid Hormone Intermediates in Dogs with Alopecia
Most dogs with alopecia had higher than normal levels of certain hormones, but hair loss might not always be linked to these hormone changes.
research Unchanged Androgen-Binding Properties of Sex Hormone-Binding Globulin in Male Patients with Liver Cirrhosis
SHBG binding properties are unchanged in male liver cirrhosis patients.
