As a result, they produce fewer hormones that promote hair growth, and it leads to hair loss.

As a result, they produce fewer hormones that promote hair growth, which leads to hair loss.

The first sentence is not right.

The second seems okay. Can you give us the sentence directly preceding it?

I suggest replacing the final clause with leading to hair loss.
