Yes,
Weston Price reported that very few traditional aboriginal men were bald
(Nutrition and Physical degeneration 1939). Also many essential fatty acids
inhibit 5 alpha reductase the enzyme that boost testosterone. The drug
Finasteride (Propecia) works the same way- but the drug companies didn't do
any clinical trials on the fatty aicd supplements as there is no patent on
them.

aliphatic unsaturated fatty acids. Biochem J 1992 Jul 15;285 ( Pt 2):557-62
