There may actually be a link. After ------, the loss of dopamine triggers the release of prolactin into the bloodstream. Prolactin stimulates the production of the enzyme 5 alpha reductase and 5 alpha reductase is the enzyme that converts testosterone
into DHT. DHT is the hormone responsible for androgenic alopecia (male pattern baldness). Because --------- are powered by DHT, ------ ----------- itself also triggers testosterone-DHT conversion.

Dopamine? I'm currently taking trazodone, an anxiety drug that stimulates the release of dopamine (the so-called 'love hormone', because it is supposed to increase libido). What effects could this have on my hair?
