Hair cortisol concentration may reflect some physiological stress but doesn't strongly correlate with perceived stress.
research EVALUATION OF ASSOCIATION OF ANTHROPOMETRIC INDICES WITH STRESS RESPONSE IN PCOS POPULATION
Stress worsens symptoms and body changes in women with PCOS, especially during COVID-19.
research 705 Particulate matter induces inflammatory response in human outer root sheath cells via oxidative stress-dependent MAPK and JAK-STAT signaling pathways
Particulate matter causes inflammation in hair cells, potentially harming hair growth.
research Moderate water stress in rice induces rhizosheath formation associated with abscisic acid and auxin responses
Moderate water stress helps rice form rhizosheaths by affecting hormone responses, which may aid in breeding drought-resistant rice.
research 502 The stress-responsive secretory protein adrenomedullin 2 potently induces cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in human hair follicles

5 / 1000+ resultscommunity How to reduce cortisol (stress hormone) naturally?
The conversation discusses natural ways to reduce cortisol, such as avoiding caffeine, getting proper sleep, syncing with the sun, walking in nature, breathing exercises, increasing calories, and not doing keto. Magnesium supplements are recommended for stress reduction.
community A concise, easy-to-understand post on Androgenic Alopecia theory and its practical applications
The mechanism of Androgenic Alopecia and practical applications of treatments like Minoxidil, Finasteride, RU58841, dermarolling, scalp massages, anti-fungals, progesterone, estrogen, PPAR-γ activators, reducing oxidative stress, and scalp exercises. It explains why DHT is important in AA and how other factors might be involved such as hypoxia, increased DKK-1 expression, morphological changes to the scalp, skull growth during childhood/puberty, and blood flow.
community Finasteride, Neurosteroids, and Neuroplasticity - have you noticed cognitive shifts or have you continued growing?
The conversation discusses concerns about potential cognitive and emotional effects of finasteride, with the original poster planning to monitor their cognitive performance while using the treatment. A user responds that most people do not experience cognitive shifts, though some report subtle changes.
community one month difference, can’t tell if it’s gotten better or wors
The user is unsure if their hair has improved or worsened after inconsistent minoxidil use, iron, and vitamin D supplements. A reply suggests the hair looks better but recommends consistent photo angles for accurate comparison.
community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year
A study that outlines the full model for androgenic alopecia (AGA) which links DHT to cellular senescence in dermal papilla cells, and suggests black chokeberry as a source of cyanidin 3-O-arabinoside polyphenol with potential anti-oxidant properties that could reverse this process. The post encourages reaching out to experts in anti-aging and longevity to research treatments involving the polyphenol.
