5 / 1000+ resultscommunity A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community Best Treatment In The Pipeline?
New treatments for AGA are emerging, including pyrilutumide, gt0029, scube3, kx-826, and pp405. Verteporfin is mentioned as a promising option.
community Mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol)
The conversation discusses the mechanism of action of alfatradiol (17 alpha estradiol) in treating hair loss. It explores theories that it either inhibits 5 alpha reductase to prevent T->DHT conversion or aromatizes scalp T into 17-alpha-estradiol to save hair.
community Is it true that most hair loss treatments fall into one of two categories? If not, what am I missing?
Hair loss treatments are generally categorized as anti-androgens, like finasteride and RU58841, which prevent hair loss by targeting DHT, and growth stimulators, such as minoxidil, rosemary oil, microneedling, and LLLT, which promote hair growth by increasing blood flow and growth factors. The user is seeking to confirm these categories and understand if there are other treatments or mechanisms of action.
