Topical Rice Bran Oil (Oryza Sativa L.) Has the Same Effect as 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

    TLDR Rice bran oil works as well as 2% minoxidil to prevent hair loss and promote hair growth.
    This study investigated the effects of topical rice bran oil compared to 2% minoxidil on preventing senile alopecia in 30 Wistar rats exposed to UVB light. Results showed that both treatments significantly increased VEGF levels, hair follicle diameter, and hair length compared to the control group, with no significant differences between the rice bran oil and minoxidil groups. The findings suggest that rice bran oil is as effective as 2% minoxidil in preventing hair loss and promoting hair growth, making it a potential alternative treatment for senile alopecia.
