We aimed to identify the association of female androgenetic alopecia with insulin resistance and to evaluate various simple insulin sensitivity indices and beta cell function in women with androgenetic alopecia (AGA). A cross-sectional study was performed in 66 non-obese women (24-44 years old), 41 with AGA alone and 25 healthy individuals. Blood glucose, insulin, c-peptide levels, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT); insulin sensitivity and beta cell function indices derived from a single blood sample and OGTT were determined and compared in the two groups.
