research Key locations of oxidative damage in human hair keratins after heat and ultraviolet light exposure
Heat and UV exposure damage hair structure by altering keratins.
research Metabolic pathway of Cis-UCA upon Ultraviolet B (UVB) exposure using ¹H Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, Molecular Docking and cell viability of human keratinocytes (HaCaT) cell lines
Cis-UCA can form new compounds without enzymes, and sulphide donors reduce its UVB-induced toxicity in skin cells.
research Androgenic alopecia may have evolved to protect men from prostate cancer by increasing skin exposure to ultraviolet radiation
Male pattern baldness might have evolved to help protect against prostate cancer by increasing UV radiation on the scalp.
research Comparison of the acute ultraviolet photoresponse in congenic albino hairless C57BL/6J mice relative to outbred SKH1 hairless mice
B6.Cg-Tyr c−2J Hr hr /J mice have a stronger delayed sunburn reaction and are good for UV research.

4 / 1000+ resultscommunity Evolution theory: AGA is your body trying to reduce the risk of prostate cancer by exposing your scalp to more UV
Androgenic alopecia (AGA) might have evolved to reduce prostate cancer risk by increasing UV exposure to the scalp, but this theory is debated. Treatments like minoxidil and finasteride are used for AGA, though the exact causes and evolutionary reasons for hair loss are unclear.
community The Health Benefits of Head Hair
Hair provides protection against head trauma, reduces skin cancer risk, helps remove heavy metals, and aids in wound healing. The conversation emphasizes the health benefits of maintaining head hair beyond cosmetic reasons.
community Tretinoin can make it worse!!!
Tretinoin may enhance minoxidil's effectiveness for those not responding to minoxidil alone, but it could reduce efficacy for some who are already responding to minoxidil. Tretinoin requires careful use, including skin moisturizing and sun protection due to increased sensitivity.
community What About Phytosterol Alternatives - Rice Bran Oil - Natural DHT Blockers
The conversation discusses natural DHT blockers like rice bran oil, which may reduce 5α-reductase activity similarly to Minoxidil and Dutasteride. One user argues that finasteride is more reliable and effective than natural alternatives.
