In a laboratory study on guinea pigs, Kepok banana peel extract serum at a 30% concentration showed promising effectiveness for hair growth, with results close to those of 5% minoxidil®, suggesting it could be a viable hair care alternative.

In this study, researchers observed that pregnant women who were overweight or obese before pregnancy had lower iron concentrations in serum and hair, as well as lower dietary iron intake, during their first trimester compared to women with normal body weight.

This study found that patients with chronic telogen effluvium had significantly lower levels of zinc in their hair and serum compared to healthy controls, and observed a positive association between hair and serum zinc levels.

In this N=1 case study, a long-term zero-carbohydrate diet adult male experienced an increase in fasting plasma ascorbic acid from 0.1 mg/dL to 2.0 mg/dL within two months of daily 1 g vitamin C supplementation, along with subjective health improvements.

In this N=1 case study, researchers observed that a 1 g daily dose of vitamin C successfully elevated plasma vitamin C levels in an adult male following a zero-carbohydrate diet, with reported improvements in some health parameters but no gastrointestinal side effects.

In this cross-sectional study of Indonesian men, researchers observed a significant negative correlation between serum vitamin D levels and the severity of androgenetic alopecia, suggesting that lower vitamin D concentrations are associated with more severe hair loss, although causality was not established.

This study found that serum-free expanded hair follicle mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSCs), derived from hair plucking, significantly improved cartilage repair in a murine model despite minimal engraftment, suggesting their effectiveness through a paracrine mechanism.

In this study, no association was found between androgenetic alopecia and increased blood pressure or higher serum aldosterone levels in the examined hospital-based sample from Saudi Arabia.

In this study, no significant association between androgenetic alopecia and increased blood pressure or serum aldosterone levels was observed among a small sample of Saudi Arabian men.

In this study, women with PCOS were found to have higher BMI, insulin resistance, and homocysteine levels, which are key predictors of the condition.

This study found that women with PCOS had higher levels of serum phoenixin isoforms, which correlated with reproductive and metabolic markers, suggesting these isoforms may have a potential diagnostic role.

In this study, serum levels of vitamin C, vitamin E, and total antioxidant capacity did not differ significantly between individuals with premature greying hair and controls, but a strong association with family history was observed.

In this study, researchers found that women with PCOS and insulin resistance had higher irisin levels, while both PCOS groups had lower betatrophin levels compared to controls. These distinct biomarker alterations could aid in better metabolic profiling and risk assessment for PCOS.

This study observed that patients with hypothyroidism-associated hair loss commonly have deficiencies in several vitamins and minerals, suggesting that these deficiencies may be linked to their condition.

This study reviewed multiple research articles and found that patients with telogen effluvium, primarily women, had significantly lower levels of serum ferritin and vitamin D compared to healthy controls, suggesting a role for trace element imbalances in hair loss.

This systematic review and meta-analysis found that patients with telogen effluvium, primarily females, exhibited significantly lower serum levels of ferritin and vitamin D compared to healthy controls, suggesting trace element imbalances play a crucial role in this type of hair loss.

This study found that telogen effluvium is strongly linked to lower serum levels of ferritin and vitamin D, especially in predominantly female patients.

In Indonesian men with early androgenetic alopecia, this study found that hair iron levels were positively correlated with hair diameter, suggesting potential for improving hair thickness.

In this study, researchers observed that patients with Alopecia Areata had significantly lower serum zinc and higher copper levels compared to healthy controls, indicating a disrupted zinc-copper balance that may contribute to the disease's pathogenesis.

This study found a significant association between lower vitamin D levels and increased severity of androgenetic alopecia in men.

This study found that patients with Telogen Effluvium had significantly higher levels of scalp pain and itching, and serum ferritin levels could effectively differentiate them from healthy controls.

This study found that women with telogen effluvium had significantly lower serum ferritin levels compared to healthy controls, suggesting an association between iron deficiency and this form of hair loss.

This study found that in patients with AIDS-related non-Hodgkin lymphoma undergoing targeted therapy, a positive serum albumin change rate was significantly associated with better treatment outcomes, suggesting the value of dynamic albumin monitoring and nutritional support during treatment.

In this study, researchers found that patients undergoing one-anastomosis gastric bypass experienced a greater incidence of low serum zinc levels and related symptoms, such as hair loss and delayed wound healing, compared to those undergoing sleeve gastrectomy.

This study compared serum and hair steroid hormone profiles in adolescents and found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis, with androgen levels in both mediums correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than in girls.

This study found that hair steroid profiling is a feasible, non-invasive alternative to serum analysis in adolescents, with androgen levels correlating more strongly with body size and composition in boys than girls.

This study found that intralesional vitamin D3 injections significantly increased serum vitamin D3 levels in patients with localized alopecia areata, although baseline vitamin D3 levels did not predict disease severity or treatment response.

This study found that serum irisin levels were significantly lower in patients with androgenetic alopecia compared to healthy controls, but no significant relationship was detected between serum irisin levels and insulin resistance markers like BMI, fasting insulin, or HOMA-IR.

This study found that low serum ferritin levels were significantly associated with non-scarring alopecia in women from Punjab, Pakistan, suggesting that assessing ferritin could help identify iron deficiency as a modifiable factor in hair loss.

This study conducted at Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital found no significant correlation between serum testosterone levels and acne severity in adult female patients with acne, suggesting that serum testosterone is not a reliable marker of androgen excess in this sub-population.
