Popis: BACKGROUND Androgenetic alopecia (AGA) is the most common type of hair loss and affects approximately 50% of the male population. AIMS In the present study, to investigate microinflammation, perifollicular fibrosis, and oxidative stress in AGA cases, some serum biomarker levels were measured and evaluated. PATIENTS/METHODS Serum samples were drawn from patients (n = 58) and control (n = 30) groups referring to Ataturk Training and Investigation Hospital Dermatology Outpatient clinic. In serum samples, NF-κB, TNF-α, TGF-β1, thioredoxin, nitric oxide, TOS, TAS, and thiol disulfide homeostasis (native thiol, total thiol, disulfide) were measured and evaluated. RESULTS In patients with AGA, NF-κB (P = .005), TNF-α (P = .008), TGF-β1 (P = .028), thioredoxin (P = .004), nitric oxide (P
