Melatonin and cortisol affect mink winter hair growth, but β-endorphin levels do not.
research Activation of platelet-rich plasma by pulse electric fields: Voltage, pulse width and calcium concentration can be used to control and tune the release of growth factors, serotonin and hemoglobin
Pulse electric fields can control the release of growth factors and serotonin from platelet-rich plasma, offering a tailored approach to wound healing.
research 316 Role of platelet and growth factor concentration in platelet rich plasma therapeutic response to alopecia
High platelet numbers in PRP may not be essential for hair growth, and certain growth factors could negatively affect treatment outcomes for hair loss.

5 / 261 resultscommunity Everyone is ignoring that plasma finasteride levels are 100x lower with topical compared to oral.
Topical finasteride results in plasma levels 100 times lower than oral finasteride, potentially reducing systemic side effects. Users report similar efficacy with fewer side effects, suggesting a preference for topical application.
community Napkin math: are we using 100x more topical finasteride than necessary?
Topical finasteride concentrations are likely much higher than necessary for effective follicular DHT suppression, with current standards being 100-1000 times above the theoretical minimum. Lower concentrations (0.001-0.0025%) might still work locally while minimizing systemic exposure.
community Has any data on systemic absorption of pyrilutamide been published?
Pyrilutamide shows minimal systemic absorption with low plasma levels and no accumulation, suggesting it's unlikely to cause systemic side effects. However, full results are not yet published in scientific journals.
community Veradermics VDPHL01 Topline Results for Extended-Release Oral Minoxidil
Extended-release oral minoxidil (VDPHL01) shows promising results for hair growth with improved safety, achieving significant hair count increases and minimal side effects compared to placebo. The treatment is designed to maintain effective concentrations while reducing side effects, making it a safer option for those who cannot tolerate standard minoxidil.
community Fin/Dut and Metabolism Speeds…
A user speculates that a fast metabolism might affect the effectiveness of dutasteride for hair loss. Another user argues that drug response is unrelated to metabolism speed.
