Testosterone Propionate-Induced Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) Model

Creative Bioarray has developed a state-of-the-art model of Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) induced by testosterone propionate for our clients. This innovative model accurately mimics the physiological conditions associated with AGA, a common condition affecting millions of individuals worldwide. By utilizing testosterone propionate, we provide a reliable and standardized platform for researchers to investigate the underlying mechanisms of hair loss and to evaluate potential therapeutic interventions.

Our Testosterone Propionate-Induced Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA) Model

Animal Species

Mouse

Modeling Method

Animals are subcutaneously injected with testosterone propionate for four weeks after hair removal.

Endpoints

  • Body weight
  • Hair growth evaluation (photo of mice)
  • Histology analysis: H&E staining
  • qPCR or Western blot
  • Other customized endpoints according to your specific needs

Example Data
