    TLDR Physioxia improves keratinocyte protection against oxidative stress and better mimics real skin conditions.
    This study investigates the antioxidant status of keratinocytes grown under physioxia (1-3% O2) compared to normoxia, using both 2D and 3D models. It finds that physioxia promotes keratinocyte proliferation and results in a thinner epidermis due to slower cell differentiation. Under physioxia, keratinocytes produce less reactive oxygen species (ROS) upon stress, indicating better protection against oxidative stress. Despite lower or equivalent mRNA levels for antioxidant enzymes, there is higher activity for catalase and superoxide dismutases in physioxia. The study highlights the importance of oxygen levels and culture models in studying skin aging and suggests that physioxia conditions better mimic the in situ skin environment.

      community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.

      in Research/Science  43 upvotes 3 months ago
      Minoxidil is not an anti-androgen; it is a growth stimulator and does not lower DHT like finasteride or dutasteride. Minoxidil can cause side effects like facial swelling and anxiety due to its vasodilator properties.

      community Minoxidil Sulfate makes everyone a responder

      in Research/Science  261 upvotes 1 year ago
      Minoxidil sulfate is more effective than regular minoxidil, especially for those with low sulfotransferase levels or scalp sensitivity, but it is unstable unless delivered in a liposomal format. Combining minoxidil with tretinoin can enhance effectiveness, and stopping minoxidil use can lead to rapid hair loss.

      community AGA responded to steroid shots? Biopsy wrong? Please help!

      in Female  2 upvotes 1 year ago
      A woman with AGA is using spironolactone, dutasteride, finasteride, oral minoxidil, bicalutamide, and anti-androgenic birth control but still experiences worsening hair loss. Steroid shots temporarily stop her hair shedding, leading her to question her biopsy results.

      community Study on Sugar Intake on Male Pattern Hair Loss

      in Research/Science  20 upvotes 3 years ago
      Excessive sugar and high-fat diets are linked to male pattern hair loss, with sweet beverages being a significant factor. Moderation in diet is advised, as diet alone may not fully prevent hair loss due to other factors like DHT sensitivity.

      community Is Vitamin D the cause of my baldness or slow regrowth?

      in Is this regrowth?  1 upvotes 3 months ago
      The conversation discusses hair loss treatments, including oral finasteride, topical minoxidil, and microneedling, and the potential impact of Vitamin D and folic acid deficiencies on hair regrowth. It suggests that while male pattern baldness is the primary cause, addressing vitamin deficiencies may aid in improving regrowth.
