Abstract in brief

  • This study developed a method to measure the levels of finasteride, dutasteride, and dihydrotestosterone (DHT) directly in hair tissue to better understand how these drugs work in treating androgenetic alopecia (AGA).
  • Results showed that both finasteride and dutasteride significantly lowered DHT levels in hair, with dutasteride having a stronger effect, indicating effective action in the hair follicles.
  • Measuring these drug and hormone concentrations in hair can help evaluate the pharmacokinetics (how the drug moves and acts in the body) and the therapeutic effectiveness of treatments for AGA.]
