research Alterations in Androgen Conjugate Levels in Women and Men with Alopecia
People with hair loss may have different levels of certain hormones due to changes in hormone processing.
research An Attempt to Assess the Magnitude of Endogenous Androgen Production in a Case of the Adrenogenital Syndrome
A 17-year-old female with adrenogenital syndrome produces very high levels of androgens, which prevent complete feminization despite high estrogen doses.
research Drugs Affecting Hair Growth
Different hair growth phases affect how follicles respond to X-rays, and hormones like testosterone and dihydrotestosterone play a key role in baldness; transplanted hair can grow on bald scalp areas.

The document concludes that accurate measurement of serum androgens is crucial for diagnosing hyperandrogenism.
research The 5α-Reductase Inhibitor Dutasteride but Not Finasteride Protects Dopamine Neurons in the MPTP Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease
Dutasteride protects dopamine neurons in Parkinson's mice, but Finasteride doesn't.
research Lanostane-Type Triterpenes from the Sclerotium of Inonotus Obliquus (Chaga Mushrooms) as Proproliferative Agents on Human Follicle Dermal Papilla Cells
Chaga mushrooms contain compounds that may promote hair growth better than common treatments.
research Effects of Pre- and Post-Pubertal Dihydrotestosterone Treatment on Penile Length in 5α-Reductase Type 2 Deficiency
