Iε-(γ-Glutamyl) Lysine Cross-Linkage in Citrulline-Containing Protein Fractions From Hair

    February 1971 in “ Biochemistry ”
    Harry W.J. Harding, George E. Rogers
    TLDR Specific cross-linkages help make hair proteins stable and strong.
    The 1971 study by George E. Rogers explored the biochemical properties of hair proteins, specifically examining the presence of iε-(γ-Glutamyl) lysine cross-linkages in citrulline-containing protein fractions. Citrulline is formed through the enzymatic deimination of arginine residues, and this research enhanced the understanding of hair protein structure and the biochemical processes involved in hair formation and maintenance.

      The user plans to switch from topical to oral finasteride (1mg/day) and minoxidil (3mg/day) due to unsatisfactory results with topical treatments. They seek advice on the effectiveness, potential side effects, and the timing for considering a hair transplant, with recommendations to monitor health metrics like blood pressure and conduct thorough bloodwork before starting.

      A new hair loss protocol using FDA-approved topical treatments targets eight pathways, potentially improving results by 60-75% compared to the standard 40-50% from oral minoxidil and finasteride. The protocol includes minoxidil, finasteride, tacrolimus, cetirizine, bimatoprost, lithium gluconate, losartan, melatonin, NAC, caffeine, and tretinoin, with a monthly cost of $35-50 in Mexico and $80-150 in the US.

      The user is frustrated with hair loss treatments like finasteride, minoxidil, dutasteride, and oral minoxidil, which have been ineffective and caused scalp itching. They are skeptical about these treatments' effectiveness and consider alternative options like ketoconazole shampoo and RU58841.

      A 21-year-old is experiencing hair loss and is unable to use finasteride due to side effects, expressing frustration and depression. Others suggest topical DHT blockers like alfatradiol, spironolactone, and pyrilutamide, and mention using minoxidil and lifestyle changes.
