Conclusions

Genetically-determined hair follicle sensitivity to DHT and reactions to different androgen concentrations are involved in the pathogenesis of AGA. Finasteride reduces serum DHT level in patients, which was effective in treatment. Routine measurement of DHT is recommended during treatment.
