research Absorption sites of orally administered drugs in the small intestine
Different factors affect where drugs are absorbed in the small intestine, which is important for effective medication use.
research The Interaction of Hair Fibers with Alkali Bromide Solutions
Hair absorbs alkali bromide salts and water, affecting its structure, with absorption decreasing at higher temperatures.
research Learning from hair moisture sorption and hysteresis
Hair moisture behavior helps tell apart different chemical treatments and reveals insights into hair structure.
research Volume Changes During Water Binding to Hair Fibers
Hair increases in size when it absorbs water, and treatments like bleaching affect how much water it can take in.
research Nanofiber Scaffolds as Drug Delivery Systems Promoting Wound Healing
Nanofiber scaffolds help wounds heal by delivering drugs directly to the injury site.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Which compounds in Saw Palmetto are actually beneficial?
Saw palmetto's fatty acids, particularly lauric and linoleic acids, inhibit enzymes linked to hair loss, while sterols like beta-sitosterol are less effective due to poor absorption. The conversation questions which specific compounds in saw palmetto contribute to its anti-androgenic effects.
community Have you noticed systemic absorption of RU58841?
The conversation discusses using RU58841 as a topical treatment for hair loss, with some users reporting no systemic issues. The original poster is considering RU58841 due to limited progress with dutasteride and oral minoxidil.
community Does the PG-free version of RU58841 have lower absorption compared to the PG version?
The conversation discusses the absorption and effectiveness of PG-free versus PG versions of RU58841, with some users believing PG improves efficacy while others see no difference. Concerns about RU58841's potential side effects on the endocrine system are also mentioned, with one user considering switching to pyrilutamide.
community Are we underestimating systemic absorption with homemade/generic Topical Fin? (HPCH vs. PG/Ethanol formulations)
Topical finasteride may have higher systemic absorption and lower efficacy when using a Propylene Glycol/Ethanol formulation compared to the hydroxypropyl chitosan (HPCH) formulation. The safety profile of topical finasteride relies heavily on the HPCH formulation, and using standard solutions might lead to different pharmacokinetics.
community Topical tretinoin increases minoxidil absorption by 3x. Thoughts?
Topical tretinoin can increase the absorption of minoxidil by three times, which may enhance its effectiveness for hair loss treatment. Tretinoin causes increased skin turnover, making the skin more permeable and potentially improving minoxidil's efficacy.
