research Proceedings of the Ninth World Congress for Hair Research (2015)
The 2015 Hair Research Congress concluded that stem cells, maraviroc, and simvastatin could potentially treat Alopecia Areata, topical minoxidil, finasteride, and steroids could treat Frontal Fibrosing Alopecia, and PTGDR2 antagonists could also treat alopecia. They also found that low-level light therapy could help with hair loss, a robotic device could assist in hair extraction, and nutrition could aid hair growth. They suggested that Alopecia Areata is an inflammatory disorder, not a single disease, indicating a need for personalized treatments.
research Guidelines based management of androgenetic alopecia
The document concludes that personalized treatment plans for hair loss in Asian men are necessary and more research is needed to develop effective guidelines.
research Female pattern hair loss: therapeutic update
Topical minoxidil is the best-supported treatment for female hair loss, but personalized plans are needed.
research Androgenetic Alopecia in Transgender and Gender Diverse Populations: A Review of Therapeutics
The document concludes that treatments for hair loss in transgender and gender-diverse individuals include topical solutions, oral medications, laser therapy, and hair restoration procedures, with progress assessed after 6-12 months.
research Revisión actualizada del tratamiento de la alopecia androgenética femenina

research Author response: Effects of lifelong testosterone exposure on health and disease using Mendelian randomization
Long-term high testosterone levels can improve bone density and reduce body fat but may increase the risk of prostate cancer and high blood pressure.
research Impaired Prolactin-Lowering Effects of Metformin in Women with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin lowers prolactin in women without PCOS but not in those with PCOS, where it reduces other hormones instead.
research Insights into the Scenario of SARS-CoV-2 Infection in Male Reproductive Toxicity
COVID-19 may harm male reproductive health and lower testosterone levels, potentially affecting fertility and causing erectile dysfunction. More research is needed.
research Androgen Dependence of Hirsutism, Acne, and Alopecia in Women
Hirsutism is more linked to high androgen levels than acne or hair loss, and a mix of hormonal tests is best for diagnosis; certain treatments can reduce symptoms.
research Clinical, ultrasound and hormonal markers of androgenicity in acne vulgaris
Acne severity is linked to higher levels of certain androgenic hormones, even when those levels are within the normal range.
research Association of Insulin Resistance with Hyperandrogenia in Women
Insulin resistance is linked to high male hormone levels in women, often seen in those with PCOS.
research Female Androgenic Alopecia
Women with low SHBG levels and a high 3a-diol G to SHBG ratio are likely to experience female pattern baldness, possibly due to a slight excess of androgens affecting sensitive hair bulbs.
research Within-person changes of cortisol, dehydroepiandrosterone, testosterone, estradiol, and progesterone in hair across pregnancy, with comparison to a non-pregnant reference group
Hormone levels in hair change during pregnancy, with progesterone increasing significantly compared to non-pregnant women.
research Exploring the role of CYP19A1 single nucleotide polymorphisms in the pathogenesis of female pattern hair loss
Certain gene changes and hormone levels are linked to female hair loss.
research Suety and Spreading-Stromal Hyperplasia and Hyperthecosis Ovary
These ovarian conditions cause high testosterone levels.
research Hair Cortisol: A Biomarker of Chronic Stress in Animals and its Association with Reproduction
High levels of cortisol in hair show long-term stress which can lower fertility in animals.
research Effects of Finasteride (MK-906), a 5α-Reductase Inhibitor, on Circulating Androgens in Male Volunteers*
Finasteride safely lowers DHT levels without affecting testosterone.
research Treatment of androgenetic alopecia by exosomes secreted from hair papilla cells and the intervention effect of LTF
Exosomes from hair papilla cells and the Chinese medicine Liao Tuo Fang can potentially promote hair growth and could be used to develop hair growth drugs.
research The prevalence of metabolic disorders in various phenotypes of polycystic ovary syndrome: a community based study in Southwest of Iran
Different types of PCOS have different levels of metabolic problems, with the most severe type showing the highest disturbances.
research Hair cortisol in polycystic ovary syndrome
Women with PCOS have higher hair cortisol levels, which are linked to worse metabolic and inflammatory conditions.
research Clinical Observation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Treatment with Resveratrol
Resveratrol improved hormone levels, menstrual cycles, hair loss, and ovarian function in PCOS patients.
research The Efficacy of 24-Month Metformin for Improving Menses, Hormones, and Metabolic Profiles in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Metformin improves menstrual cycles and hormone levels in women with PCOS, mostly within the first 6 months.
research ROLE OF METFORMIN IN POLYCYSTIC OVARIAN SYNDROME
Metformin helps improve menstrual irregularities and some hormone levels in PCOS patients, but not symptoms like excess hair, acne, or hair loss.
research Supraphysiological Dose of Testosterone Impairs the Expression and Distribution of Sex Steroid Receptors during Endometrial Receptivity Development in Female Sprague–Dawley Rats
High doses of testosterone disrupt hormone levels and receptor expression in the uterus, affecting fertility.
research Testosterone (T) secreting tumor or insulin resistance? metformin (M) as a diagnostic (Dx) and therapeutic (Rx) trial
Metformin can help diagnose and treat high testosterone levels in women, often due to insulin resistance rather than a tumor.
research Pattern Baldness: Its Genetics Revisited
Pattern baldness is likely caused by a dominant gene influenced by testosterone levels, making it more common in men.
research Prostate Specific Antigen as Predictive Factor for Androgenemia in Women
PSA can help diagnose high androgen levels in women.
research Androgen Profiling by Liquid Chromatography–Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in Healthy Normal-Weight Ovulatory and Anovulatory Late Adolescent and Young Women
The research found that anovulatory young women have higher androgen and hormone levels than those who ovulate, suggesting immature hormonal regulation rather than a specific condition.
research Androgenic Hormone Profile of Adult Women with Acne
Over half of the adult women with acne in the study had higher than normal levels of male hormones, especially DHEA.
