research Anti-inflammatory, cyclooxygenase inhibitory and antioxidant activities of standardized extracts of Tridax procumbens L.
Extracts from Tridax procumbens L. have strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects and block inflammation-causing enzymes.
research Cyclooxygenase-2 overexpression in the skin of transgenic mice results in suppression of tumor development.
Overexpressing COX-2 in mice skin reduces skin tumor development.
research Expression of Cyclooxygenase Isozymes During Morphogenesis and Cycling of Pelage Hair Follicles in Mouse Skin: Precocious Onset of the First Catagen Phase and Alopecia upon Cyclooxygenase-2 Overexpression
Overexpression of COX-2 causes early hair loss in mice, but can be prevented with a COX-2 inhibitor.
research UV light may induce hypertrichosis through production of PGE2
UV light might cause excessive hair growth by increasing PGE2 in the skin.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity Brotzu lotion update
A new hair loss lotion by Dr. Brotzu, expected to regrow up to 5 years of lost hair, is set to be released by Fidia Farmaceutici. It claims to work like minoxidil and finasteride without side effects, but skepticism exists due to its classification as a cosmetic product.
community Oxytocin Pathway and Cinnamic Acid Research
The conversation discusses the potential of cinnamic acid for hair growth. It also mentions treatments like Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community FCE 28260: A Forgotten 5α-Reductase Inhibitor
FCE 28260 (PNU 156765), an under-explored 5α-reductase inhibitor, showcases promising results in research by Giudici et al., outperforming well-known treatments like Finasteride in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Its superior efficacy, demonstrated through lower IC50 values in both natural and human recombinant enzyme studies, suggests it could offer more effective management of DHT-related conditions. Additionally, its lower molecular weight hints at better potential for topical application, potentially offering advantages in treating conditions such as androgenic alopecia. Despite its potential, it has not advanced in development, possibly due to financial limitations, leaving its therapeutic prospects and side effect profile largely unexplored.
community Painkillers May Block Minoxidil
Painkillers like Aspirin may reduce Minoxidil's effectiveness by inhibiting the enzyme PGHS-1, which is crucial for hair growth. Using NSAIDs that inhibit COX-2 or combining Minoxidil with PGF2/E2 analogues or retinoids may enhance its efficacy.
community Has anyone seen this study before? It claims that B6+Zinc can inhibit 5ar activity
The conversation discusses using B6 and Zinc to inhibit 5ar activity, similar to Fin and Dut. Minoxidil is mentioned as a supplementary treatment.
