    GlossaryAMPK pathway (AMPK signaling pathway)

    regulates cellular energy balance by activating ATP-producing processes

    The AMPK pathway, short for AMP-activated protein kinase pathway, is a crucial cellular energy sensor that helps maintain energy balance within cells. When energy levels are low, AMPK activates processes that generate ATP (the cell's energy currency) and inhibits processes that consume ATP, thereby restoring energy balance. This pathway is significant in various physiological processes, including metabolism, cell growth, and even hair follicle health, making it a potential target for treatments related to alopecia and other metabolic disorders.

      community Fats on your Head to Stop Hair Loss?

      in Research/Science  142 upvotes 2 years ago
      The conversation discusses the potential of long-chain unsaturated fatty acids, like oleic and linoleic acid, as an additional treatment for hair loss, which may inhibit the enzyme responsible for converting testosterone to DHT and promote hair growth. Users humorously suggest using oils topically and discuss other hair loss treatments, but the main focus is on the science behind fatty acids and their role in hair health.

      community Dutasteride Users, do you Still Take Creatine?

      in Finasteride/Dutasteride  11 upvotes 8 months ago
      The conversation discusses the potential impact of creatine on hair loss, with some users sharing personal experiences of increased shedding while others argue there's no scientific evidence linking creatine to hair loss. The original poster switched from finasteride to dutasteride and is considering resuming creatine after monitoring its effects on hair loss.
