Inflammation in androgenetic alopecia
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Years of research have led to the conclusion that androgenetic alopecia may be a result of an alteration in the hair growth cycle and/or a premature aging of the pilosebaceous unit. The etiology of androgenetic alopecia has been defined as multifactorial or even polygenic in nature. The fact that the success rate of treatment with either antihypertensive agents or modulators of androgen metabolism barely exceeds 30 percent, has led to some researchers to propose the possibility of other pathways that mediate this form of hair loss.
