GlossaryInterleukin-12

protein that activates immune cells to fight infections

Interleukin-12 (IL-12) is a protein produced by certain immune cells that plays a crucial role in regulating the body's immune response. It helps activate natural killer (NK) cells and T cells, which are essential for fighting infections and cancer. IL-12 is also involved in the inflammatory response and can influence the development of autoimmune diseases.

The treatment for androgenetic alopecia involves using finasteride and minoxidil with intense exercise and cold exposure to boost metabolism and reduce androgenic effects, potentially leading to hair regrowth. This approach may activate biological pathways for improved hair and overall health.
