Pathogenesis of Androgenetic Alopecia

2022-07-01

Abstract excerpt

The pathogenesis of androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is a complex interplay of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. In scalp follicles of susceptible individuals, androgens promote miniaturization of hair and shorten hair growth in the anagen stage, ultimately leading to AGA. The major circulating androgen, testosterone, is converted to the more potent androgen dihydrotestosterone by the enzyme 5α-reductase (5...
