research A review of hormonal therapy for female pattern (androgenic) alopecia
Hormonal therapies like cyproterone acetate and spironolactone may help some women with hair loss, but finasteride 1mg is not useful, and the effectiveness of other treatments is still unclear.
research Is androgenic alopecia a result of endocrine effects on the vasculature?
Male-pattern baldness might be caused by the effect of hormones on scalp blood vessels.
research Androgenic Alopecia
The document concludes that treating female hair loss should target reducing excess androgen and blocking its effects on hair follicles, with the best treatments being hormonal therapy, adrenal suppression, and topical minoxidil.
research Topical minoxidil sensitization in androgenic alopecia
A small percentage of minoxidil users may develop an allergic skin reaction.
research Finasteride and androgenic alopecia; from therapeutic options to medical implications
Finasteride can treat hair loss, but may have side effects; evaluate and inform patients of risks.
research Clinical profile of androgenic alopecia and its association with cardiovascular risk factors
Men with early-onset hair loss have more heart disease risk factors.
research Systematic review of low-level laser therapy for adult androgenic alopecia
Low-level laser therapy can stimulate hair growth more effectively than fake devices, but patient satisfaction is similar for both. Results should be taken with caution due to small study sizes and differences between studies. More research is needed.
research Anti-androgenic curcumin analogues as steroid 5-alpha reductase inhibitors
Some curcumin-like compounds can effectively and safely block the enzyme linked to hair loss and other conditions related to male hormones.
research Are hand preference and sexual orientation possible predicting factors for finasteride adverse effects in male androgenic alopecia?
Hand preference and sexual orientation may predict finasteride side effects in male hair loss.
research Premature androgenic alopecia and insulin resistance. Male equivalent of polycystic ovary syndrome?
Some men with early hair loss may have similar hormonal changes to women with Polycystic ovary syndrome, and could be at risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
research Incidence of androgenic dermatologic side effects following placement of a levonorgestrel intrauterine device for menorrhagia: A survey-based study
The levonorgestrel intrauterine device for heavy periods may cause acne, hair loss, and excess hair growth.
research Effect of petroleum ether and ethanol fractions of seeds of Abrus precatorius on androgenic alopecia
The seeds of Abrus precatorius, when processed, can prevent hair loss more effectively than common treatments.
research Mechanism of action of bolandiol (19-nortestosterone-3β,17β-diol), a unique anabolic steroid with androgenic, estrogenic, and progestational activities
Bolandiol, a synthetic steroid, builds muscle and bone without greatly affecting sex glands, and works differently from other hormones.
research Androgenic alopecia: A counterproductive outcome of the anabolic effect of androgens
Male pattern baldness is an unintended side effect of the body's use of androgens for muscle growth, especially in those genetically prone to it.
research Exclusive androgenic effect of dehydroepiandrosterone in sebaceous glands of rat skin
DHEA acts like a male hormone on rat skin glands and doesn't turn into female hormones there.
research Androgenic effect of testosterone and some of its metabolites in relation to their biotransformation in the skin.
Testosterone and some of its forms can strongly stimulate oil gland growth in skin.
research Coenzyme Q10 phospholipidic vesicular formulations for treatment of androgenic alopecia:ex vivopermeation and clinical appraisal
Coenzyme Q10 vesicular formulations can potentially treat androgenic alopecia by promoting hair growth and thickness.
research miRNA microarray profiling in patients with androgenic alopecia and the effects of miR-133b on hair growth
miR-133b promotes hair growth and could be a potential treatment for hair loss.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
research Post-Finasteride Adverse Effects in Male Androgenic Alopecia: A Case Report of Vitiligo
Finasteride may cause vitiligo, sexual issues, and depression; better treatments and predicting side effects needed.
