I buy Danny Roddy's hypothesis that hair loss occurs because of the death of the hair follicle. Essentially in medical conditions where energy production in the body becomes low it seems that general hair loss follows. A low energy production environment means that the hair follicles of the body do not receive the inputs they need to sustain themselves. It therefore follows that a possible cause of male pattern baldness is the death of the scalp hair follicles because they don't receive the inputs they require to sustain themselves. The question is why. One theory is that it's caused by the calcification of the skull which strangles the blood arteries that supply hair follicles in the scalp with blood.
