Mesotherapy for Treatment of Male-Type Alopecia

Synapses develop at similar rates in the suprachiasmatic nucleus of rats of both sexes, but values are higher in male than in female animals from birth to maturity. Male-type development cannot be mimicked by neonatal androgenization but results suggest that female-type development can be induced by neonatal castration of males. The results suggested that both prenatal and postnatal androgens are essential to normal male development.

SUMMARYIn two sisters a female pseudohermaphroditism was found, due to constitutional hyperplasia of the adrenal glands. The typical alterations of external genitals already present at birth were associated with an early appearance of secondary sexual characters of the male type and exaggerated expulsion of the 17 urinary ketosteroids.There were signs of a deficiency of mineral-and glycogen-active hormones, but they were not such as to give clinic manifestations.In one of the patients the amputation of one third of both adrenal glands caused a transitory improvement.The familiality observed in these cases leads the authors to assume a hereditary transmission of the recessive type.

The authoress has studied the characters of the pelvis in sixteen skeletons of male criminals in Lombroso's museum. In her paper she gives the details of the examination in each case, with tables summarising the results for the whole series. She finds that the pelvis in the criminal tends to approximate to the female type; and, though this type is generally admitted to be morphologically higher than the male type, she argues that the lack of sexual differentiation implied by this resemblance is to be properly regarded as an atavistic character, especially as it is in many cases associated with other peculiarities of a distinctly prehuman kind.
