>Androgenetic alopecia is presumably a side effect of a drug that boosts testosterone levels on a sustained basis. Is this considered an AE in the Androxal trial?<
I don't know, but yes you are right: increased testosterone levels may accelerate hair loss.
I read a long time ago in a major journal that scientists have the highest testosterone levels of all professions, including professional athletes. Which explains all the shiny heads at scientific conferences.
Various other articles indicate that high testosterone levels are also associated with hair loss, allergies, and nearsightedness.
It always seemed unfair to me that the guys with the highest testosterone levels were condemed to be bald, near-sighted, and allergy-prone.
