ROS may affect hair loss related to hormones.
research Lifestyle and Physiological Factors Associated with Facial Wrinkling in Men and Women
Age, smoking, and lower BMI increase facial wrinkles; men wrinkle more than women, except in old age; pale skin and certain hormonal factors can protect against wrinkles.
research Fifteen-minute consultation: Approach to the adolescent presenting with hirsutism
Hirsutism in teens is often due to polycystic ovarian syndrome and needs careful assessment and support.
research Registrars’ Symposium: Summaries of Papers

research Possible association between androgenic alopecia and risk of prostate cancer and testicular germ cell tumor: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Baldness, especially at the front, may lower the risk of testicular cancer by 31%, but its link to prostate cancer is unclear.
research Androgenic Alopecia: Cross-Talk Between Cell Signal Transduction Pathways
Hair loss in Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is due to altered cell sensitivity to hormones, not increased hormone levels. Hair growth periods shorten over time, causing hair to become thinner and shorter. This is linked to miscommunication between cell pathways in hair follicles. There's also a change in gene expression related to blood vessels and cell growth in balding hair follicles. The exact molecular causes of AGA are still unclear.
research Male‐pattern baldness, common latent viruses, and microcompetition
Common latent viruses might contribute to male-pattern baldness by disrupting cell processes that normally suppress hair loss-related proteins.
research Shedding light on therapeutics in alopecia and their relevance to COVID-19
Some alopecia treatments might help treat COVID-19, but more research is needed.
research The dermatologic manifestation of hyperandrogenism: A retrospective chart review
Most women with hyperandrogenism first show acne, and skin conditions like hirsutism and acanthosis nigricans are good indicators of the condition.
research CONTRACEPTION AND THE SKIN
Birth control pills can cause skin issues but may help with acne and hirsutism, and choosing the right type can minimize side effects.
research Hormonal Basis of Male and Female Androgenic Alopecia: Clinical Relevance
Hair loss in men and women is linked to high stress hormone levels and other hormonal imbalances, suggesting treatments should be customized to each person's hormones.
research Virilization from partner's use of topical androgen in a reproductive-aged woman
A woman's virilization symptoms were caused by her partner's use of testosterone cream, which resolved after they separated.
research Emerging pharmacotherapies and regenerative solutions for promoting hair growth for androgenetic alopecia
New treatments for hair loss show promise but need more testing for effectiveness and safety.
research Acne Keloidalis Nuchae
Acne keloidalis nuchae is a chronic skin condition more common in African men, causing itchy or painful bumps and can lead to permanent hair loss if not treated early.
research Alopecia androgénica femenina: nuevos factores fisiopatológicos y futuras tendencias para un abordaje clínico más integral
New factors in female hair loss include genetics, hormones, stress, and inflammation; future treatments should also focus on these areas and consider the patient's emotional well-being.
research Steroidogenic Isoenzymes in Human Hair and Their Potential Role in Androgenetic Alopecia
Steroidogenic isoenzymes may help improve treatments for common hair loss.
research Animal and in vitro Models for the Study of Hair Follicles

Hair loss in Androgenetic Alopecia is caused by genetics, aging, and lifestyle, leading to hair follicle shrinkage and related health risks.
research Sexual Hormones in Human Skin
Human skin makes sexual hormones that affect hair growth, skin health, and healing; too much can cause acne and hair loss, while treatments can manage these conditions.
research Potential adverse effects of long-term testosterone therapy
Long-term testosterone therapy can cause hormone suppression, affect prostate and heart health, and alter physical characteristics, but does not increase prostate cancer risk and needs more research for full risk assessment.
research Hyperandrogénie féminine
