Did you mean Androgenic Stimulation?

GlossaryAndrogenic Stimulation

hormones like testosterone influence hair growth and loss

Androgenic stimulation refers to the process by which androgens, a group of hormones including testosterone, influence the growth and function of various tissues in the body. In the context of hair, these hormones can stimulate hair growth in certain areas, like the face and chest, while potentially leading to hair loss on the scalp, a condition known as androgenic alopecia.

community Hair growth stimulated by allogenic adipose-derived stem cells supplemented with ATP in a mouse model of dihydrotestosterone-induced androgenetic alopecia

in Research/Science 43 upvotes 1 year ago

Adipose-derived stem cells with ATP improved hair regrowth in male and female mice with androgenetic alopecia. The most effective treatments were low dose stem cells with ATP for males and medium dose stem cells with non-liposomal ATP for females.

Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

community Physio-metabolic method of treating androgenic alopecia. Cold receptors. The relationship between DHT, cold receptors, minoxidil and antiandrogens

in Research 413 upvotes 1 year ago

Treating androgenic alopecia with minoxidil, finasteride, and antiandrogens, alongside exercise, cryotherapy, and natural substances to stimulate cold receptors for better hair growth. The method focuses on enhancing treatment effectiveness by considering environmental and behavioral factors and the role of cold receptors and muscle stress.

community Minoxidil is NOT an Anti-androgen. No.

in Research/Science 43 upvotes 8 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 Is regrowth on an androgen receptor blocker possible?

in Chat 11 upvotes 2 years ago

RU and Pyri block androgen receptors to prevent hair loss but may also hinder hair regrowth since they prevent testosterone, which can stimulate hair growth, from binding to these receptors. The user is questioning if this understanding is correct.

community Why are there no studies on Topical Vitamin D3 for AGA?

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 2 years ago

Topical Vitamin D3 may stimulate hair growth and has been used for Alopecia Areata. There is a question about the lack of research on its use for Androgenetic Alopecia (AGA).
