Stress and alcohol affect brain chemicals differently in rats, mice, and humans, influenced by genetic differences.
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 Plasma C19 Steroid Sulfate Levels and Indices of Androgen Bioavailability in Female Pattern Androgenic Alopecia
Women with female pattern hair loss have higher levels of certain androgens, suggesting increased androgen exposure to hair follicles.

GI198745 is more potent and longer-lasting than finasteride, potentially better for treating hair loss.
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 Inhibition of Steroid 5 Alpha-Reductase with Finasteride: Sleep-Related Erections, Potency, and Libido in Healthy Men
