Abstract
We measured plasma sex-hormone binding globulin (SHBG) and testosterone levels in a pilot study of eight women aged 21–41 years who complained of diffuse hair loss; and subsequently in a larger group of fifteen patients of a similar age range. There was a significant reduction in SHBG levels in both groups of patients when compared to controls, but testosterone values were normal.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
