oxidative stress skin aging energy production AMPK NADH mitochondrial oxygen consumption ATP nutrient-sensing salvage pathway

TLDR Compounds A and B help men's skin recover faster by reducing oxidative damage and increasing energy levels.

The document discusses the role of oxidative stress in skin aging and the importance of energy production within skin cells for their proper function and recovery. The study tested the effects of two active ingredients, referred to as compound A and compound B, on activating AMPK levels in skin cells from two male donors aged 28 and 68. The results showed that the combination of these compounds lowers oxidative damage, aids in producing optimal levels of energy by increasing healthy levels of NADH, and increases mitochondrial oxygen consumption by supplying mitochondria with newly produced molecules of ATP. This combination also activates the nutrient-sensing salvage pathway of AMPK, supporting the skin in achieving faster recovery and optimal repair.

A method for treating androgenic alopecia using minoxidil, antiandrogens, exercise, and cold exposure to promote hair growth. Environmental factors and lifestyle changes, like diet and exercise, can improve treatment effectiveness.

community Is 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) good for human hair?

in Research/Science 9 upvotes 3 months ago

Topical 2-deoxy-D-ribose (2dDR) regrows hair in mice almost as well as 2% Minoxidil. However, 2dDR may contribute to oxidative stress and hair loss due to the formation of advanced glycation end products (AGEs).

community Looks like a real cure to the root of baldness (DHT-induced senescence) was proven earlier this year

in Research/Science 742 upvotes 2 years ago

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.
