5 / 136 resultscommunity The mechanism of androgenic alopecia
DHT may inhibit hair growth by affecting mitochondrial function, leading to hair follicle miniaturization. Treatments like minoxidil and PP405 may promote hair growth by altering metabolic pathways, potentially counteracting DHT's effects.
community 28M experiencing thinning - first timer here, please help
A 28-year-old male experiencing hair thinning is considering minoxidil and finasteride. Minoxidil helps regrow hair, while finasteride prevents further loss; both are usually lifelong treatments.
community The Effects of the Potassium Channel Opener Minoxidil on Renal Electrolytes Transport in the Loop of Henle
This post and conversation are about the effects of Minoxidil on renal electrolytes transport in the Loop of Henle. The replies show a lack of interest and a brief summary stating that rectal Minoxidil electrolytes are bad.
community REVOLUTION in AUGUST: New possibilities according to Dr. Muñoz (pinacidil, cromakalim, diazoxide and nicorandil)
Dr. Muñoz's discovery suggests that targeting potassium channels in fibroblasts could reactivate hair growth, offering new treatment possibilities for alopecia. Potential strategies include using minoxidil, diazoxide, and other potassium channel openers, as well as bioelectric devices and direct growth factor applications.
community Is this Better Than Topical Minoxidil? Topical Diazoxide
Topical diazoxide may be a promising hair regrowth treatment, especially for those who don't respond to minoxidil, as it activates potassium channels without needing sulfation. It appears safe for topical use, avoiding systemic effects seen in oral use.
