Lean and obese women with PCOS have similar levels of insulin resistance, indicating it's a core aspect of the condition.
research Insulin sensitivity, androgens and isotretinoin therapy in women with severe acne
Isotretinoin improves severe acne without changing androgen or insulin levels but may increase body weight and triglycerides.
research Increased Insulin Sensitivity by Metformin Enhances Intense-Pulsed-Light-Assisted Hair Removal in Patients with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Taking metformin with intense-pulsed-light therapy improves hair removal for people with PCOS.
research The presence of insulin resistance and comparison of various insulin sensivity indices in women with androgenetic alopecia.
Women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are more insulin resistant than healthy women, with various insulin sensitivity indices being higher in the AGA group. An oral glucose tolerance test is suggested for women with AGA.
research Calcium and Magnesium levels of Hair tissue and Insulin Sensitivity
A higher calcium to magnesium ratio in hair is linked to lower insulin sensitivity.

5 / 261 resultscommunity The Association between Sugar-Sweetened Beverages and Male Pattern Hair Loss in Young Men
Excessive sugar consumption may contribute to male pattern hair loss by increasing androgen sensitivity and insulin resistance, but genetics play a significant role. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are suggested for managing hair loss, while reducing sugar intake and maintaining a healthy lifestyle may help mitigate its progression.
community Interesting new publication suggesting that MPB should be assessed as a early warning sign for type-2 diabetes.
Male pattern baldness (MPB) may be an early warning sign for type 2 diabetes due to its association with insulin resistance. Treatments discussed include testosterone therapy and finasteride, which affects hormone levels related to hair loss and insulin sensitivity.
community Claim: Insulin resistance increases the enzyme that creates DHT and affects the liver's ability to control hormones
Insulin resistance may increase DHT production, contributing to hair loss, and addressing it through diet, nutrients, and natural DHT blockers like saw palmetto and pumpkin seed oil could help reverse hair loss. Some users prefer medications like finasteride for more effective results.
community Insulins impact on androgen levels
Controlling insulin levels through intermittent fasting and a low glycemic diet may improve hair quality by reducing androgens. It's important to maintain proper nutrition, including electrolytes and protein, during fasting.
community Having androgen receptor density and sensitivity at wrong f*ing place
The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, focusing on the use of topical minoxidil, microneedling, finasteride, and dutasteride, while debating the role of testosterone and DHT in hair loss. It also touches on the potential liver health impacts of these treatments and the genetic sensitivity of hair follicles to androgens.
