Abstract Background Melatonin (MEL) is a powerful antioxidant molecule with anti-androgenic property. A microemulsion (ME) system loaded MEL was designed for treatment of androgenic alopecia. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram constructed, and ME formulae were developed using coconut oil, Tween 80 PEG 400. In the present study, characterized evaluated droplet size, polydispersity index, zeta potentia...

Seeds of Abrus precatorius L., Fabaceae, are commonly used as purgative, emetic, aphrodisiac and in nervous disorder in traditional and folk medicines. In present study petroleum ether and ethanolic extracts of A. precatorius seeds are evaluated for reversal of androgen (testosterone by i.m route) induced alopecia in male albino wistar rats and compared to topical administration of standard ant...

Background: The correlation between coronary artery disease and androgenic alopecia has been demonstrated, but the mechanism of this association still remains to be cleared. Objective: To investigate lipid profile, as an indicator of coronary artery disease, in women with female pattern alopecia. Methods: Fifty one women with female pattern alopecia and thirty one healthy women with normal hair...

Background: Almost 50% males face a health issue called androgenic alopecia and even almost 21 million women are affected too. Aim: To determine the efficacy difference of platelet rich plasma for treatment among patients. Study design: Quasi experimental method. Methodology: In order to collect data, purposive sampling technique was used. Enrolled patients (n=102) were divided into two groups....

BACKGROUND Finasteride, a type II-selective 5alpha-reductase inhibitor, as a causative agent of decreasing dihydroxy testosterone (DHT) level, is effective in the treatment of male androgenic alopecia. AIM We compared the local and oral finasteride in the treatment of androgenic alopecia. METHOD This is a double blind, randomized clinical trial study of 45 male patients, who were referred w...

UNLABELLED Since 1959, when Norman Orentreich described the phenomenon of donor dominance in androgenic alopecia and opened the way to hair transplantation, the field of hair replacement surgery has been evolving continuously. Advances in the last 15 years, particularly the microscopic dissection of donor strips into follicular units, have eradicated the idea that follicular transplantation is ...
