    GlossaryDPPH Assay

    measures antioxidant capacity by observing color change in a solution

    The DPPH Assay, also known as the 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl assay, is a common method used to evaluate the antioxidant capacity of a substance. It measures the ability of antioxidants to neutralize free radicals by observing the change in color of the DPPH solution from purple to yellow, which indicates the scavenging of the DPPH free radical. This assay is widely used in research to assess the potential health benefits of foods, supplements, and other compounds.

      PP405 is a potential hair loss treatment that inhibits mitochondrial pyruvate carriers, increasing lactate dehydrogenase activity and stimulating hair follicle stem cells. In a phase 1 trial, 31% of participants showed over 20% hair density increase with PP405 treatment.

      community Don't use PP405 from everychem. it is likely fake.

      in Research/Science  65 upvotes 8 months ago
      PP405 from Everychem is likely fake and potentially harmful, with concerns about its stability and the risk of using the wrong MPC inhibitor, which could damage hair follicles. The real PP405 was studied under strict conditions, and DIY attempts are discouraged due to unknown formulation and quality control.

      Rotenone, a natural plant extract, may promote hair growth by increasing LDH activity and blocking MPC in the scalp, but it carries risks due to its toxicity. The suggested formulation includes Barbasco extract, DMSO, propylene glycol or PEG-400, ethanol, and a carrier oil.
