research Hair-Cycle-Dependent Expression of Parathyroid Hormone-Related Protein and its Type I Receptor: Evidence for Regulation at the Anagen to Catagen Transition
Parathyroid hormone-related protein helps control hair growth phases in mice.
research Binding of Steroid Hormones by the 105,000 x g Supernatant Fraction from Homogenates of Rat Skin and Variations during the Hair Cycle
Steroid hormone binding in rat skin varies with pH, heat, and hair cycle phases.
research Therapy for Alopecia Areata in Mice by Stimulating the Hair Cycle with Parathyroid Hormone Agonists Linked to a Collagen-Binding Domain
PTH-CBD helps reduce hair loss in mice by stimulating hair growth directly.
research Adrenal steroid hormone concentrations in dogs with hair cycle arrest (Alopecia X) before and during treatment with melatonin and mitotane
Melatonin and mitotane treatment led to hair re-growth in 62% of dogs with Alopecia X, but this was not always linked to normal hormone levels.
research Parathyroid hormone-related peptide and the hair cycle - is it the agonists or the antagonists that cause hair growth?
PTHRP agonists can stimulate hair growth, especially in damaged follicles, while antagonists may initially increase growth but ultimately inhibit it.

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity If people technically have hair follicles all over their body with baby hairs, why is regrowing hair so difficult to do?
Hair loss treatments are difficult because hair follicles react differently to hormones and have varying growth cycles. Treatments mentioned include Minoxidil, finasteride, and RU58841.
community A stress hormone has been found to signal through skin cells to repress the activation of hair-follicle stem cells in mice
Stress can lead to hair loss by affecting hair-follicle stem cells, and this loss is harder to recover from if one has male pattern baldness (MPB). Treatments like finasteride and minoxidil are used to address hair loss, but stress-related hair loss differs from androgenic alopecia.
community Hormones and hair loss (23F)
The user is experiencing severe hair loss, possibly due to telogen effluvium, after stress, poor nutrition, and hormonal changes. They are using Nizoral and supplements but are considering hormonal treatments like spironolactone despite previous side effects.
community My hair after 3 steroid cycles
A user shared their hair progress after three steroid cycles, using 5% minoxidil and 100mg RU58841 daily. They are considering a hair transplant due to paranoia about shedding.
community Dutasteride Hormone Roller Coaster - Testosterone down, then up, then level, then estrogen up
Dutasteride effectively stops hair loss but can cause side effects like sexual dysfunction, muscle mass changes, and testicle shrinkage. Adjusting the dosage may help manage these side effects, but long-term health effects remain a concern.
