Increased levels of Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) have been correlated to vertex balding?
according to Wikipedia it is, and gives a source
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Androgenic_alopecia#Hormone_levels_correlated_with_androgenic_alopecia
Here is the source they list,
http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?doi=10.1159/000078584
Notice, the source they list is incorrect, it does not back up that finding. The reference only shows that there is a correlation with family history for children and hair loss
There seems to be plenty of links correlating Insulin Resistance to Alopecia, but does insulin alone (in a healthy non resistant manner) cause it?

Conclusion: Results suggest that the probability of male pattern hair loss is dependent on family history and age. Hair loss in a man’s father also appears to play an important role in increasing a man’s risk of hair loss, either in conjunction with a history of hair loss in the mother or hair loss in the maternal grandfather.

Re: Increased levels of Insulin Growth Factor-1 (IGF-1) have been correlated to vertex balding?
Actually, some studies (already posted here) show that increasing dermal IGF-1 promotes hair growth:
1)Administration of capsaicin and isoflavone promotes hair growth by increasing insulin-like growth factor-I production in mice and in humans with alopecia - http://cat.inist.fr/?aModele=afficheN&cpsidt=19062253 . About this one, I guess it does not work as good as they say, since I could not find even one product on iherb containing isoflavones +capsaicin combined in those quantities. I would imagine, if it really worked, some companies would have already started to sell this combination?
I found a product that looks interesting: http://www.iherb.com/Natrol-NuHair-Hair-Regrowth-System-for-Men-30-Day-Kit/22389?at=0 . Someone is already using it?
CS wrote that EC increases IGF-1 in the scalp..by how much and how much influence has on hair, didn't find the info...
2)Induction of Hair Growth by Insulin-Like Growth Factor-1 in 1,763 MHz Radiofrequency-Irradiated Hair Follicle Cells - http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0028474#s2 . About this one, I am curious if rife users already run scripts with that frequency.
That study on wikipedia may refer to serum IGF-1 then?
This is the source (http://www.eblue.org/article/S0190-9622(99)70188-X/abstract), the one you posted is something else.
