	Estrogen and male pattern baldness,
		Abstract: Surprisingly, compared to the vehicle control, the hair shaft elongation of male front temporal scalp hair follicles was significantly stimulated by 1-100 nM E2 already as early as 1 d after the start of the organ culture, and this stimulation became even more pronounced at the end of organ culture (days 7 and 9).
		The aim of this study was to investigate the relative functional importance of estrogen receptor alpha and estrogen receptor beta in the regulation of the hair follicle cycling and epidermal thickness in male mice.
		The effect on hair follicle cycling is caused by an estrogen receptor alpha mediated inhibition of telogen-anagen transition and the effect of estrogen to increase epidermal thickness is associated with an estrogen receptor alpha mediated increase in the proliferative rate of the keratinocytes in the basal cell layer of the epidermis.
