23. Muscle building, exercise training, androgens and hair loss :: Posted Thursday, May 24, 2001 by admin ::
Anabolic steroids are similar to testosterone and are used to increase muscle mass. They also can produce hair loss along with other side effects. However, because of the dangers associated with their use, fewer persons are using them.
Even without anabolic steroids, rigorous exercise tends to raise testosterone and, in women, reduce estrogens. Estrogen levels are lowered in women undergoing severe physical training. This can lead to a stopping of the menstrual cycle. Thus, severe exercise in both men and women can increase the rate of hair loss.
