The gel improves hair regrowth and reduces irritation in alopecia areata treatment.
research Effects of botulinum toxin type A on histamine-induced itch and vasomotor responses in human skin
Botulinum toxin type A reduces itch and inflammation from histamine and may help treat certain skin conditions and hair loss.
research Agouti and Agouti-related Protein: Analogies and Contrasts
Agouti and AGRP affect pigmentation and obesity, with implications for metabolic disorders.
research 4-Aminopyridine Induces Nerve Growth Factor to Improve Skin Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
4-Aminopyridine improves skin wound healing and tissue regeneration by increasing cell growth and promoting nerve repair.

Smoking doubles the risk of blindness, and physical exercise helps dyslexic children read better.
research Effects of transient receptor potential (TRP) channel agonists and antagonists on slowly adapting type II mechanoreceptors in the rat sinus hair follicle
TRPA1 and TRPV1 channels don't affect mechanotransduction in rat sinus hair follicles.
research The effects of finasteride (FIN) and thioacetamide (TAA) on acetylcholinesterase (AchE) activity in various brain regions.
research 5alpha-reductase inhibitors dampen L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia via normalization of dopamine D1-receptor signaling pathway and D1-D3 receptor interaction
Finasteride and dutasteride reduce unwanted movements from Parkinson's disease treatment by normalizing certain brain signals.
research Uso de la simulación en el control de errores en la Rasterización
Gambogic Amide may prevent hair greying and promote hair growth by maintaining hair pigmentation.
research The Effects of Botulinum Toxin on Vascular Diameter: A Preliminary Report
Botulinum toxin type A may widen certain arteries, but more research is needed.
research Neurotrophin-4 modulates the mechanotransducer Cav3.2 T-type calcium current in mice down-hair neurons
Neurotrophin-4 increases calcium current in specific mouse neurons through the PI3K pathway.
research 5α-Reductases in Human Physiology: An Unfolding Story
Enzymes called 5α-reductases have many body functions and need more research to safely use inhibitors.
research Effects of dobutamine on cyclic AMP accumulation induced by the stimulation of dopamine receptors in rabbit retina in vitro
Dobutamine does not mimic dopamine at therapeutic doses but may at very high concentrations; microfilaments, not microtubules, are important for wound healing in Xenopus embryos.

2.5 mg/mL TAC is as effective and safe as 5 mg/mL, but 5 mg/mL may improve hair regrowth and density more.
research Increased levels of prostaglandin-like material in the canine blood during arterial hypotension produced by hydralazine, dihydralazine and minoxidil
These drugs raise prostaglandin-like material in dog blood, possibly causing blood vessel widening.
research The risk of coronary heart disease in men with androgenetic alopecia
Bald men may have higher heart disease risk.
research Lipid profile in patients with androgenetic alopecia: a meta-analysis
People with hair loss have worse cholesterol levels, possibly linking hair loss to heart problems.
research Sexual Problems of Men With Androgenic Alopecia Treated With 5-Alpha Reductase Inhibitors
Men using hair loss drugs like finasteride may experience sexual side effects like erectile dysfunction, but it's unclear who will be affected and when. Treating depression and sexual symptoms is suggested, as these men often have higher rates of both. More research is needed to understand why these side effects occur.
