research Androgenetic, Diffuse and Senescent Alopecia in Men: Practical Evaluation and Management
The conclusion is that treatments like finasteride and minoxidil can prevent baldness progression and improve hair density, but more research is needed on other therapies.
research Androgenetic alopecia and polymorphism of the androgen receptor gene (SNP rs6152) in patients with benign prostate hyperplasia or prostate cancer
Hair loss gene linked to prostate issues.
research The ‘bald’ phenotype (androgenetic alopecia) is caused by the high glycaemic, high cholesterol and low mineral ‘western diet’
Western diet may cause male pattern baldness; low glycemic diet with magnesium could help.
research Anti-androgenic therapy with finasteride in patients with chronic heart failure – a retrospective propensity score based analysis
Finasteride helps reduce heart enlargement in heart failure patients.
research Relation of urinary stone disease with androgenetic alopecia and serum testosterone levels
Balding and low testosterone increase risk of urinary stones.
research Relative binding affinity of novel steroids to androgen receptors in hamster prostate
New steroids were effective in blocking male hormone receptors in hamster prostates.
research Is 3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide a diagnostic marker in women with androgenic manifestations?
3α, 17β-androstanediol-glucuronide is not a useful marker for androgen excess but may help monitor certain treatments.
research Androgen Receptor Ligands: Agonists and Antagonists
Different substances that activate or block the androgen receptor can affect male development and treat conditions like prostate cancer.
research Efficacy and safety of a dietary supplement containing a lipid co-extract from Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum for the treatment of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) in women. Results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial
The supplement with Serenoa repens and Pygeum africanum significantly increased active hair growth and decreased rest phase hair in post-menopausal women with hair loss, with only mild digestive side effects.
research Serum androgens and prostate-specific antigen levels in androgenetic alopecia: is there a difference between frontal and vertex baldness?
Vertex baldness has higher DHT levels than frontal baldness, but testosterone and PSA levels are similar.
research Effect of finasteride on lipid profile in individuals with androgenetic alopecia
Finasteride lowers good cholesterol, raises bad fats, and may increase heart disease risk.
research Body Composition Parameters, Carotid Intima Media Thickness and Epicardial Fat Thickness in Male Patients with Androgenetic Alopecia
Men with male pattern baldness had higher body fat and obesity-related measurements but similar heart fat and artery thickness compared to healthy men.
research The efficacy of using platelet-rich plasma (PRP) in the treatment of androgenic alopecia: a literature review
PRP therapy helps improve hair growth and is safe for treating hair loss.
research Hormonal Treatment for Skin Androgen-Related Disorders
Hormonal treatments can help with hair loss, acne, and excess hair growth, but it takes 3-6 months to see results and patients should know the possible side effects.
research Relationship between androgenic alopecia and white matter hyperintensities in apparently healthy subjects
Hair loss can indicate brain aging and potential small vessel disease, but more research is needed to understand the clinical impact.
research Efficacy of Autologous Platelet Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Male Androgenetic Alopecia

research Androgenetic alopecia, hirsutism and hypertrichosis
Hair loss and excessive growth treated with various options, including new laser technology.
research Epidemiology, diagnosis and management of hirsutism: a consensus statement by the Androgen Excess and Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Society
Experts recommend using evidence-based methods to diagnose and treat hirsutism, focusing on symptoms and underlying causes.
research Prevalence of functional disorders of androgen excess in unselected premenopausal women: a study in blood donors
Many young women who donate blood have hormonal disorders like excess male hormones and PCOS.
research Overexpression of aldo-keto reductase 1C3 (AKR1C3) in LNCaP cells diverts androgen metabolism towards testosterone resulting in resistance to the 5α-reductase inhibitor finasteride
Too much AKR1C3 enzyme causes resistance to finasteride by increasing testosterone.
research Effects of the anti-androgen finasteride on 5alpha-reductase activity in human gingival fibroblasts in response to minocycline
Finasteride helps treat hair loss by blocking enzyme activity.
research High-resolution mass spectrometric investigation of the phase I and II metabolites of finasteride in pig plasma, urine and bile
