Lower levels of certain brain chemicals are linked to worse PTSD symptoms in men.
research The Effect of Minocycline on the Metabolism of Androgens by Human Oral Periosteal Fibroblasts and Its Inhibition by Finasteride
Minocycline may cause hair loss by increasing DHT levels, but finasteride can help counteract this effect.
research Hair Growth Inhibition by Psychoemotional Stress: A Mouse Model for Neural Mechanisms in Hair Growth Control
Stress can stop hair growth in mice, and treatments can reverse this effect.
research British Association of Dermatologists Guidelines on the Efficacy and Use of Acitretin in Dermatology

Nerves and chemicals in the body can affect hair growth and loss.
research Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia
Androgenetic alopecia, or hair loss, is caused by a mix of genetics, hormones, and environment, where testosterone affects hair growth and causes hair to become smaller and grow for a shorter time.
research Androgens and Androgen Receptor Action in Skin and Hair Follicles
Male hormones and their receptors play a key role in hair loss and skin health, with potential new treatments being explored.
research De Novo Assembly and Annotation of Asiatic Lion (Panthera Leo Persica) Genome

research A Systematic Review of Outcomes and Patient Satisfaction Following Surgical and Non-Surgical Treatments for Hair Loss
Both surgical and non-surgical hair loss treatments lack a standard treatment plan and sufficient patient satisfaction data.
research Consequences of Steroid-5α-Reductase Deficiency and Inhibition in Vertebrates
Lack or blocking of SRD5a, a key component in hormone creation, can lead to conditions like pseudohermaphrodism and affect hair growth, bone mass, muscle strength, and reproductive health. More research is needed on its regulation from fertilization to adulthood.
research The Modulatable Stem Cell Niche: Tissue Interactions During Hair and Feather Follicle Regeneration
The document concludes that for hair and feather growth, it's better to target the environment around stem cells than the cells themselves.
