May 2023 in “Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology” This study examines the relationship between androgenetic alopecia (AGA), metabolic syndrome (MetS), and cardiovascular risks, focusing on the role of irisin, a hormone linked to energy metabolism. Conducted on 44 AGA patients and 22 healthy controls, the research found that AGA is associated with increased cardiovascular and metabolic risks, including higher BMI, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. AGA patients had significantly higher serum irisin levels, which correlated positively with BMI and carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), suggesting irisin resistance and a potential link to cardiovascular risk. The study suggests that irisin levels could serve as a predictor for MetS and cardiovascular risks in AGA patients, highlighting the potential of irisin as a biomarker for these comorbidities. However, further research is needed to fully understand its role and receptor interactions.

January 2020 in “International Journal of Trichology” The study investigated the role of YKL-40 as a biomarker in 100 individuals, including 70 patients with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) and 30 healthy controls. It found that patients with AGA had significantly higher serum YKL-40 levels compared to healthy subjects, particularly in early onset cases. There was also a significant association between AGA and metabolic syndrome (MS), with early onset AGA cases showing a higher prevalence and severity of MS. The study concluded that high serum YKL-40 is a sensitive predictor for early onset AGA and the development and severity of MS in these patients.
