Sex and sex hormones can affect brain inflammation in Parkinson's disease, with male mice being more affected and female mice showing a protective effect.
research Vitmain D level in female pattern hair loss with normal androgen level
Lower vitamin D levels may contribute to female hair loss.
research Hyperandrogenemia in women with polycystic ovary syndrome: prevalence, characteristics and association with body mass index
High levels of male hormones are very common in women with PCOS and affect their metabolism differently depending on their weight.
research Hydroxyl radical mediates cisplatin-induced apoptosis in human hair follicle dermal papilla cells and keratinocytes through Bcl-2-dependent mechanism
Hydroxyl radicals cause hair follicle cell death during chemotherapy by reducing Bcl-2 protein levels.

Testing basal 17-HP levels is a good way to screen for nonclassic adrenal hyperplasia in women with high androgen levels.
research Null Mutation of 5α-Reductase Type I Gene Alters Ethanol Consumption Patterns in a Sex-Dependent Manner
research Platelet-Rich Plasma and its Use for Cicatricial and Non-Cicatricial Alopecias: A Narrative Review
Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) can promote new hair growth and increase hair density, but its effectiveness varies depending on the type of hair loss.

Cimicifuga racemosa extract may help prevent and treat prostate issues by inhibiting 5α-reductase.
research Male pattern hair loss: Can developmental origins explain the pattern?
Male pattern hair loss may be linked to the developmental origins of hair follicles.
research Cellular actions of testosterone in vascular cells: Mechanism independent of aromatization to estradiol
