Hair follicle size is mainly influenced by the number of cells and extracellular matrix volume, with cell number having a larger impact.
research Polycystic Ovary Syndrome, Insulin Resistance, and Obesity: Navigating the Pathophysiologic Labyrinth
Insulin resistance and obesity are key factors in the development and worsening of polycystic ovary syndrome, and lifestyle changes are important for managing it.
research Evaluation and treatment of male and female pattern hair loss
Early diagnosis and treatment, using finasteride, minoxidil, or hair transplantation, improves hair loss outcomes.
research Metformin: an old medication of new fashion: evolving new molecular mechanisms and clinical implications in polycystic ovary syndrome

research The evaluation and management of hirsutism*1
Most women with excess hair growth have an underlying hormonal issue, often treated with medication and hair removal methods.
research Metformin or Antiandrogen in the Treatment of Hirsutism in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin is effective for treating excessive hair growth in women with PCOS and may work better than the standard treatment in some ways.
research Androgenetic alopecia: pathogenesis and potential for therapy
