5 / 1000+ resultsresearch Topical Rice Bran Oil (Oryza sativa L.) Has The Same Effect With 2% Topical Minoxidil To Prevent Senile Alopecia Through Improved Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) Protein Expression, Hair Follicle Diameter And Length In Wistar Rats (Rattus norvegicus) Exposed To Ultraviolet B Light
Rice bran oil works as well as 2% minoxidil to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
research Serenoa repens and N‐acetyl glucosamine/milk proteins complex differentially affect the paracrine communication between endothelial and follicle dermal papilla cells
Serenoa repens and N-acetyl glucosamine/milk proteins complex may help with hair growth and prevent hair loss.
research Insights from Tandem Mass Tag (TMT) Proteomic Analysis on Protein Network Modification in Control of Yak Hair Follicle Cycle
Key proteins and pathways regulate yak hair growth, with lipid metabolism aiding adaptation to high altitudes.
research Different levels of EGF, VEGF, IL‐6, MCP‐1, MCP‐3, IP‐10, Eotaxin and MIP‐1α in the adipose‐derived stem cell secretome in androgenetic alopecia
Certain proteins are found at higher levels in balding areas compared to non-balding areas, suggesting a link to hair loss. This could be useful for diagnosing and treating hair loss.
research Effects of latanoprost on vascular endothelial growth factor protein synthesis in human dermal papilla cells
Latanoprost increases VEGF protein in human cells, which may help hair growth.

5 / 49 resultscommunity Short Peptides for Hair Loss: anyone tried any of these?
Various peptides are discussed for treating male pattern baldness, with some available for topical use like GHK-Cu and Ac-KGHK, while others remain in research stages. Users are interested in experiences and sourcing these treatments.
community IGF-1 and Peptides? Miracle molecule waiting to be found
The conversation discusses potential hair loss treatments focusing on stimulating IGF-1 at the follicle level using growth-factor cocktails and engineered peptides, such as Acetyl Tetrapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Oligopeptide-20, Thymosin-β4, and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It suggests that device-assisted delivery methods like microneedling may enhance effectiveness.
community Surprisingly thorough study on He-Shou-Wu/Fo Ti
He Shou Wu (Fo Ti) extract was found to prolong the hair growth phase, inhibit 5-alpha-reductase (like finasteride), reduce androgen receptors, and increase growth factors, potentially outperforming minoxidil in recovering hair follicle size after DHT exposure. Two compounds, emodin and TSG, are identified as responsible for these effects and warrant further investigation.
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.
community Aminexil - is it possible that if you stop using it you lose more hair than you had originally?
Aminexil is used to strengthen hair roots but stopping it may lead to hair thinning, unlike minoxidil which has more complex effects. The user did not use finasteride or minoxidil due to concerns about side effects.
